Cogworks

v0.6.0 (2026-04-22)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• feat(COG-003): add lib:RegisterCogMinimapButton for shared gear-border chrome
  New API wrapping LibDBIcon:Register with LibDBIcon:SetButtonBorder to
  swap the default circular tracking border for the Chronoforge gear ring.
  Inserted as its own section between LibSharedMedia bridge and Settings.
  Consuming cogs call:
  Cogworks:RegisterCogMinimapButton(addonName, ldbDataObject, savedvars)
  passing their per-cog inner icon via the dataobject's icon field. Guards
  for LibDBIcon absence via PrintError + false return.
  MINOR 5 -> 6 (additive API). lib.version 0.5.0 -> 0.6.0.
  COG-004 inner icon TGAs for each cog are already in position at
  <Cog>/Art/<cog>-inner.tga; per-cog Core.lua rewires (FlipQueue canary
  first) are the remaining rollout.

• feedback(COG-004): distribute v1 inner-icon TGAs
  User converted all five PNG masters to TGA (30-45 KB each after RLE,
  valid TRUEVISION headers). Stored as:
  • Art/inner/*.tga — source archive for all five cogs (gitignored from
    packaging via Art/inner in .pkgmeta)
  • Art/cw-inner.tga — cogworks standalone's own ship-ready copy
    Unreferenced by code yet — ships as inert asset until each cog's icon
    registration is wired to the new TGA via the pending COG-003
    RegisterCogMinimapButton wrapper.

• feedback(COG-004): add v1 inner-icon source PNGs (CW/FQ/TM/MC/TL)
  User-generated candidates for the minimap icon readability standard.
  Sourced from user-provided cw/fq/tm/mc/tl-inner.png drops. All five
  pass the squint test — bold sans-serif letters on flat solid backgrounds,
  consistent design system across the family.
  Stored in Art/inner/ as source material only; added to .pkgmeta ignore
  so PNG sources don't bloat the shipped package. TGA conversion + per-cog
  Art/ distribution is the remaining step before in-game integration (WoW
  client doesn't load PNG as a texture).

• feedback(COG-003): add CogBorder.tga gear-ring texture at Art/
  128x128 TGA with alpha, ~26 KB RLE-compressed. Placed at
  Art/CogBorder.tga. Art/ is not in the .pkgmeta ignore list so the
  texture ships in the packager output as
  Interface\AddOns\Cogworks\Art\CogBorder.tga.
  Unreferenced until the lib:RegisterCogMinimapButton wrapper lands —
  shipping the asset alone is a no-op for users' current behavior. Next
  step: write the wrapper, which requires a separate commit under the
  human-gate policy.

• feedback(COG-004): capture minimap icon readability standard
  Current per-cog icons (Cogworks/FlipQueue/Tempo/Maxcraft/Tally) are
  detailed illustrations that become indistinguishable colored blobs at
  18x18 minimap display size. Problem analyzed across all five, design
  principles defined (one focal element, silhouette-first, two-color
  contrast, distinct per-cog hue, suite cohesion via COG-003 gear-border
  externally).
  Recommended standard: 2-letter bold sans-serif monograms (CW / FQ / MC
  / TM / TL) in signature per-cog colors on solid backgrounds. Monograms
  align with feedback ID prefixes so naming and visual systems stay
  coupled.
  Pairs with COG-003 (gear-border chrome): COG-003 is the suite-identity
  ring outside the button; COG-004 is the per-cog identity inside.
  Shipping both together avoids a two-stage visual change on rollout.

• feedback(COG-003): investigation complete — LibDBIcon supports direct gear-border swap
  Read LibDBIcon-1.0 v56 end-to-end; all four investigation questions
  answered without needing an in-game prototype:
  • Button is fully exposed via lib:GetMinimapButton(name); dedicated
    lib:SetButtonBorder(name, texture, size, point, x, y) API makes the
    gear swap a single call.
  • Minimap rotation (rotateMinimap cvar) rotates map contents, not
    child Button frames — gear border stays upright.
  • Circular minimap mask doesn't clip addon buttons; they render on the
    rim outside the masked region on both round and square minimaps.
  • Texture target: 128x128 32-bit TGA with alpha, displayed at 50x50 to
    match LibDBIcon's default border size; ~2.5x headroom for 1.5x UI
    scale.
    Status bumped investigating → in-progress. Remaining work is the gear
    texture asset + a ~10-line lib:RegisterCogMinimapButton wrapper + cog
    rollout with FlipQueue as canary.

• feedback(COG-001,COG-002,COG-003): capture suite roadmap — UI primitives, cross-realm service, minimap gear-border
  Three related initiatives captured from 2026-04-21 planning session:
  • COG-001: UI primitive buildout so FlipQueue can migrate off locally-
    built widgets (ScrollTable, Dropdown, Tree, Alloc list, settings form
    helpers, collapsible sections). Phased roadmap, ~8 missing primitives +
    3 enhancements. Tempo intentionally excluded from scope — Tempo will
    own the task/todo domain directly rather than through a Cogworks
    abstraction.
  • COG-002: Extract FlipQueue's cross-realm / character-key logic into
    Cogworks as a shared service. Tempo needs it for realm-local reset
    cutoffs; Tally will need it for cross-realm aggregation. Hardening
    matrix covers non-ASCII realms, connected-realm graph updates, realm
    transfers, TSM key variants.
  • COG-003: Minimap gear-border branding — replace LibDBIcon's default
    circular button chrome with a shared gear-shape for all five cogs.
    Feasibility investigation (LibDBIcon exposure, rotation behavior,
    minimap mask clipping) is the first Next step.
