v0.1.0 (2026-04-23)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• Set CurseForge project ID to 1523049
  Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) noreply@anthropic.com
• Use Spell_Fire_Incinerate icon for addon and minimap button
  Replaces the placeholder rifle icon with a fire-beam spell icon
  that reads as "flamethrower" — visible in the addon list and on
  the minimap button.

• Scaffold CurseForge release via BigWigs Packager
  GitHub Action triggers on v* tags, builds the addon, and uploads to
  CurseForge using CF_API_KEY. Vendored libs are kept as-is; .pkgmeta
  just names the package and drops .claude + Test.lua from the zip.
  Test.lua's TOC reference is wrapped in #@debug@ so the packager
  strips it from release builds — it auto-injects fake errors on
  login and must not ship.
  X-Curse-Project-ID is a placeholder (000000) pending actual project
  creation on CurseForge.

• Replace Clear button with trashcan + confirm dialog
  Right-aligned trashcan in the topbar opens a small dialog with two
  actions: Clear All Data (wipes everything including BugGrabber's DB)
  and Clear Old Data (keeps only current-session entries, including
  older-session entries in the persisted fallback list). Cancel and
  the X close the dialog without touching state; ESC does the same.
  The clear logic moved to ns:ClearAll(alsoWipeBugGrabber) and
  ns:ClearOldSessions() in Core so the slash handler and the dialog
  share it. /blame clear and /blame clear all keep their existing
  semantics; added /blame clear old for symmetry with the dialog.
  Trashcan uses the communities-icon-trashcan atlas on retail with a
  UI-GroupLoot-Pass fallback if the atlas isn't present.

• Consolidate severity + mute helpers; expand .gitignore
  Severity became one SEV table in Core (rank/rgb/hex per tier),
  replacing three scattered copies: Core's SEV_RGB + SEV_RANK,
  Broker's local COLOR, and Broker's sevRGB() helper. The tooltip
  keeps its slightly darker gray via a single-line override rather
  than a second RGB table.
  Added ns:VisibleUnseenCount() and ns:SortCulprits(stats, mode),
  collapsing four ad-hoc "count unseen visible entries" loops and the
  duplicated severity-ranked sort comparator that lived in both
  Broker.sortedCulprits and Frame.rebuildErrorsView.comparators.
  Mute-table init moved into ADDON_LOADED alongside fallbackErrors,
  which let the per-call ensureMuteTables() pattern go away entirely.
  Dropped the dead ns:Toggle in Core (Frame.lua's overrides it
  on load). Frame's three-block mute context menu collapses to a
  MUTE_TIERS loop.
  .gitignore: added Thumbs.db, more editor swaps/backups, luac
  output, and packager artifacts (.release/, *.zip).

• Fix main frame rendering empty when errors exist
  FILTER_LABELS was declared as local below applyViewChrome, so the
  reference at line 597 resolved to the nil global — every rebuild()
  threw "attempt to index a nil value" and the frame appeared empty
  even when VisibleEntries had results. Move the label/order constants
  above the first function that uses them.
  Broker text, tooltip, and icon color previously mixed raw entry
  counts (#ns.entries, ns.unseenCount) with the frame's filtered view
  (VisibleEntries). When the frame was also broken, the disagreement
  was visible: icon red, tooltip populated, frame blank. Drive all
  three surfaces from VisibleEntries so they stay consistent with
  what the user sees.
  /blame debug now prints visible/unseen counts, per-session entry
  histogram, and the first unattributed error's stack — enough to
  distinguish "filter hiding entries" from "rebuild crashing" next
  time something goes sideways.

• Add mute system, sort/filter dropdowns, restructured frame UI
  Mutes (three-tier):
  • Ignore: dropped at ingest, never recorded. Persistent in SavedVariables.
  • Snooze forever: recorded but silent (no pulse, hidden from view). Persistent.
  • Snooze for session: same, but in-memory only, clears on /reload.
    Right-click an error row for a MenuUtil checkbox menu that toggles the
    current tier. Applying any tier clears the others (promotion).
    Frame restructure:
  • Topbar (title + Clear), content panel (own border, tabs attached to its
    top edge), and status bar at bottom. Controls moved from scattered
    bottom-row placement to a proper top toolbar.
  • Errors/Ignored tabs replace the standalone mutes modal. Active tab uses
    a red highlight; inactive is dim gray.
  • Errors view tools: Filter dropdown + Sort dropdown. Ignored view tools:
    Unmute All. Tools swap with the active tab.
  • Sort options: Severity, Count, Time, Name.
  • Filter options: Session (default), All.
  • Bottom status line reduced to "N errors" / "N ignored".
  • ESC closes via UISpecialFrames (standard convention).
  • All dropdowns migrated from EasyMenu (removed in 11.0) to
    MenuUtil.CreateContextMenu.
    Opacity and borders:
  • Unified 0.92 alpha across main frame, topbar, content panel, and copy
    dialog so the whole window reads as consistently semi-opaque. Earlier
    attempt at stacked opacity produced a jarring "transparent outer,
    opaque inner" look because child frames cover their parent.
  • Black 1px borders. Backdrops use solid color textures rather than the
    older tiled dark-dialog background.
  • ElvUI skin hook intentionally only handles buttons, close, and
    scrollbar — not the frames themselves, since HandleFrame overrides
    backdrop alpha with ElvUI's own theme value and breaks the chosen
    opacity.

• Polish main frame: real icons, bigger sizing, ElvUI skin hook
  • Replace unicode arrows/dots (▸ ▾ ● ○) with Blizzard texture atlas
    paths (UI-PlusButton-Up, UI-MinusButton-Up, COMMON/Indicator-Green,
    COMMON/Indicator-Gray) so rows render the same regardless of font.
  • Bump frame to 720x560, group rows to 38px with GameFontNormalMed1
    for the addon name, error rows to 28px, and add row-hover highlight
    textures. More breathing room between groups.
  • Explicit SetWidth on the detail-row stack FontString so
    GetStringHeight returns a real value on first expand instead of 0.
  • Detect _G.ElvUI and call its public Skins API (HandleFrame,
    HandleButton, HandleCloseButton, HandleScrollBar) so ElvUI users
    get the sleek reskin automatically. No-op without ElvUI.
    Initial attempt used BasicFrameTemplateWithInset, but main.TitleText
    and main.Inset did not resolve as Lua attributes on 12.0.5, erroring
    createFrame mid-way and leaving a blank window. Reverted to a custom
    BackdropTemplate (reliable) and routed skinning through the explicit
    ElvUI hook instead.

• Strip executable bit from all tracked files
  NTFS-via-WSL reported every file as 100755. Files are plain text, not
  scripts. Set core.fileMode=false in the repo config (local-only) so
  future mode noise is ignored, and normalize the index to 100644.

• Initial commit: BlameThrower v0.1.0
  A WoW addon that attributes Lua errors to the responsible addon by
  parsing stack traces, with library-aware root-cause detection that
  sees through shared infrastructure (Ace3, LibStub, CallbackHandler) to
  blame the application caller rather than the framework it called.
  • Consumes BugGrabber 12.x via EventRegistry; falls back to a chained
    seterrorhandler when BugGrabber isn't loaded.
  • Three entry points: /blame slash command, LDB broker, LibDBIcon
    minimap button with severity tint and one-time soft pulse.
  • Main frame: culprit groups sorted by unseen/severity/count, each
    expandable to unique errors, each expandable to a detail panel with
    stripped Blizzard stack, copy dialog, and disable-addon action.
  • Session filter (default: current session only) so past-session
    errors from BugGrabber's DB don't drown the view.
  • Test.lua ships six synthetic fixtures covering high/medium/low
    confidence, Via: chains, and unattributable Blizzard-only errors
    for design-time validation. Auto-injects on load; toggle via
    /blame autotest off.
  • Embeds LibStub, CallbackHandler-1.0, LibDataBroker-1.1, LibDBIcon-1.0
    so the addon is self-contained.
    Targets WoW 12.0.5 (Midnight); TOC interface 120005.
