Dirty Boot Core

Dirty Boot Core is the shared foundation addon for the Dirty Boot addon family.

It does not create gameplay UI by itself. It provides a small shared toolkit used by other Dirty Boot addons, including shared theme values, print helpers, number/string/bool normalization, clamping, and SavedVariables default-copy helpers.

Requirements

• World of Warcraft Retail.

Dirty Boot Core should be installed as its own addon folder:

Other Dirty Boot addons may list DirtyBootCore as a required dependency.

Provided API

Dirty Boot Core exposes the global table:

Current helper areas:

• Toolkit metadata from Core.lua.
• Shared color/theme values from Theme.lua.
• Utility helpers from Utils.lua.

Included Helpers

• DirtyBootCore:Print(message, addonName)
• DirtyBootCore:Clamp(value, minValue, maxValue)
• DirtyBootCore:CopyDefaults(defaults, target)
• DirtyBootCore:NormalizeBool(value, defaultValue)
• DirtyBootCore:NormalizeNumber(value, defaultValue, minValue, maxValue)
• DirtyBootCore:NormalizeString(value, defaultValue, allowed)

Safety Boundaries

Dirty Boot Core is intentionally passive.

It does not:

• Cast spells.
• Target units.
• Assist units.
• Run macros.
• Create protected action buttons.
• Parse combat logs.
• Poll gameplay state.
• Replace Blizzard secure frames.
