[2.0.0] - 2026-06-16

Added

• Complete ground-up rewrite on a lightweight NexEnhance / CharInspectPlus-style engine: shared namespace, module registry, central event dispatcher, and profile-based saved variables.
• Modules/ChatCopy.lua — self-contained chat copy module with live setting callbacks (OnSettingChanged) so options apply without /reload.
• Multi-flavor support — single package loads on Midnight retail, The War Within, Cataclysm Classic, and Classic Era (TOC Interface lines for each client).
• Blizzard Settings panel with a CharInspectPlus-style layout:
  • Landing page (logo, version, tagline, slash-command quick reference, live module stats).
  • General subcategory for all configuration.
• Core/Widgets.lua + Core/Widgets.xml for wrapped description text on the General page.
• Mandatory localization via Core/Locales/enUS.lua (no raw UI literals).
• Automatic saved-variable migration from the legacy flat Dashi-era CopyThatDB layout (isEnabled, iconAlpha, iconPosition) into the new chatCopy module table.
• Cursor rules for addon conventions and Midnight / 12.0.7 API guidance.

Changed

• Removed the Dashi dependency entirely; events, database, and settings now use native Blizzard APIs and an in-house core.
• Settings UI no longer uses Dashi widgets — options are registered through Settings.RegisterVerticalLayoutCategory and subcategories.
• /copythat and /ct now open the General settings page directly.
• Copy button is parented to UIParent again (anchored to the active chat frame), matching the original 1.x behaviour and keeping the icon visible across chat tab changes.
• Restored the custom Media/CopyButton.tga icon (replacing the temporary stock guild-note texture used during the rewrite).
• Bumped TOC Interface to 120007 (Patch 12.0.7 / Midnight: Revelations) alongside supported classic interface versions.
• Version bumped to 2.0.0 to reflect the architectural break from 1.x.

Fixed

• Copy button not appearing on first load until toggling enable or icon position — caused by OnEnable running during ADDON_LOADED on /reload before chat frames were ready; module enable is now deferred one tick via C_Timer.After(0) on PLAYER_LOGIN.
• C_Timer.After callback error (bad argument #2) — Enable was referenced before its local declaration; function order corrected.
• OnEnable treating enable = nil as disabled after migration — now uses IsEnabled() consistently (nil defaults to on).
• Install() retry loop — button creation waits until the active chat frame exists, then explicitly shows the button.
• Retail vs classic scroll area: MinimalScrollBar + ScrollUtil on retail, UIPanelScrollFrameTemplate fallback on classic clients.

Removed

• Libs/Dashi/ embed and all Dashi-driven config (Config/Settings.lua, Config/About.lua, monolithic CopyThat.lua).
• Separate About settings sub-page — overview content moved to the landing page.
