Alec's Tamework!

2.8.0 - Settings UI, Crash Telemetry, and Multi-Food Happiness - 2026-04-07

Added

• Added /tw settings UI (TameworkSettingsPage) and command wiring with persisted world-level settings storage (TameworkSettingsStore).
• Added crash telemetry runtime services (CrashTelemetryService, local crash envelope/store, optional HTTP reporting client) with diagnostics/debug command coverage.
• Added base feed-family assets in Tamework: Tw_Feed_Herbivore and Tw_Feed_Carnivore, including icons/lang keys and global asset-set toggles.
• Added feed impulse mapping support for both item ids and role parameter families (FeedItemImpulses, FeedParamImpulses) with active-impulse snapshots for linked panel rendering.
• Added needs-damage diagnostics command/toggle coverage (/tw debugneedsdamage) for troubleshooting hunger/thirst damage behavior.
• Added /tw debugspawnerlocation to isolate spawn-position/raycast diagnostics from general spawner flow diagnostics.
• Added /tw showhitboxes to toggle live hitbox/detail-box tracking for the NPC in view (player-local debug rendering).
• Added feed preference resolution helpers/tests for needs-driven container consumption (FeedItemPreferenceResolver, regression coverage).
• Added DamageExecutionWriteSafetyGuardTest and corresponding contributor guardrail documentation for command-buffer-safe damage execution in runtime system paths.

Changed

• Reworked companion happiness impulse handling so feed/pet/damage impulses are time-bound, refresh on re-apply, and do not stack as duplicate active buffs.
• Split hand-feed happiness handling from consumed-food impulses (GainOnFeed stays hand-feed specific; consumed food uses item/param impulse resolution).
• Updated linked companion tooltip layout and wording to show Happiness - <current%> -> <target%>, simplified need modifier labels, and grouped active impulses at the bottom.
• Needs damage is now enabled by default via persisted settings for new worlds/saves and can be toggled in /tw settings.
• Updated recipe visibility gating + global config projection to include feed-family toggles and keep toggle-controlled outputs deterministic.
• Updated feed recipes so both Tw_Feed_Herbivore and Tw_Feed_Carnivore craft 10 items per recipe.
• Simplified Tw_Feed_Carnivore crafting input to 10 meat (Meats) and removed the fish requirement.
• Added DynamicTooltipsLib to publish metadata optional dependencies.
• Hardened runtime ECS mutation paths so needs/happiness/breeding/mounted-nameplate flows route writes through command-buffer-safe paths during system processing.
• Added architecture safety guard tests and contributor gates to prevent future ECS write-phase and async player-thread-affinity regressions.
• /tw debugspawner now focuses on capture/spawn flow diagnostics and logs explicit deny reasons when policy or runtime checks block a request.
• Needs-driven container food consumption now prioritizes higher-value food candidates based on feed impulse preferences instead of consuming the first matching slot.

Fixed

• Fixed GainOnPet and LoseOnDamage not being applied by wiring pet-hook and incoming-damage impulse bridges.
• Fixed feed tooltip naming to resolve language keys from canonical consumed item ids (instead of prettified ids).
• Fixed feed impulse tooltip persistence so expired impulses are removed from active display.
• Fixed startup exceptions when duplicate plugin packs are loaded by hardening pack discovery/filtering.
• Fixed additional world-thread crash paths (Store is currently processing) in damage/needs/passive-breeding/mounted-nameplate runtime flows by removing direct store writes from system-processing contexts.
• Fixed needs-damage execution paths in runtime/tick flows to use command-buffer-safe damage dispatch when command-buffer context is available.
• Fixed command-linked revivable drop-suppression setup from building a null query input when command-link component types are unavailable during duplicate/partial plugin load states.
• Fixed capture/spawn ownership-requirement evaluation so RequireOwner no longer blocks unowned targets/items and still enforces owner match when an owner exists.
• Fixed Soul Lantern/TwSpawner owner checks to consider capture-source ownership metadata during spawn policy evaluation.
