GearComparatorAI Revisions

[1.0.1]

Added

• API Error Mitigation: Enhanced the stat scanner to detect negative values (e.g., -1) returned by the game engine.
• Multimodal AI Support: Updated the AI prompt to suggest that users provide screen captures of item tooltips for OCR analysis.
• Interactive Prompting: Instructed the AI to proactively ask for clarification or screenshots if it encounters ambiguous data.
• Profession Scanning: The addon now detects primary professions and their current/maximum skill ranks, allowing the AI to suggest craftable upgrades.
• Gem & Socket Detection: Implemented GetItemGem logic to identify specific gems equipped in gear, providing the AI with visibility into socketed stats versus empty slots.
• Recipe Product Resolution: Added logic to parse crafting patterns and fetch the actual stats of the resulting item, preventing AI "hallucinations" regarding item stats from different game versions.
• Inventory Cleanup Logic: Automatically identifies "Old Gear" (Soulbound items significantly below the player's current level) and marks them for vendoring or disenchanting.
• Bagnon Search Support: Generates a pipe-delimited search string (e.g., ItemA|ItemB|ItemC) that can be pasted into Bagnon to quickly highlight obsolete items suggested for removal.
• Bank Data Staleness Tracking: Added a timestamp to bank scans. The AI prompt now warns if bank data is missing or indicates how long ago it was last updated.
• Location-Aware Material Advice: Enhanced AI instructions to force the distinction between Bag and Bank materials in crafting action plans.
• Detailed Inventory Cleanup Reasoning: Updated AI instructions to explicitly request explanations for why an item should be sold or disenchanted (e.g., level, rarity, utility, aesthetics).
• Location Tagging: All items in the prompt are now prefixed with their location ([Equipped], [Bag], or [Bank]) to help the AI provide specific inventory instructions.
• UI Layout Optimization: Fixed an overlap issue where AI instructions collided with checkboxes. Text now wraps within a constrained width and features more concise verbiage.
• Stack Quantities: The scanner now tracks item counts for crafting materials and reagents to improve the accuracy of crafting feasibility analysis.
• Enhanced Item Cache Handling: Improved handling of "cold" item caches by triggering server requests for missing item data during scans.
• Robust Talent Detection: Implemented manual talent point summation logic to ensure high accuracy for TBC builds.

Changed

• UI Refactor: Moved checkbox definitions and static instruction labels from Lua to XML to improve performance.
• Improved UX: Added HitRectInsets to UI checkboxes, making the associated text labels clickable.
• Instruction Clarity: Simplified on-screen instructions to highlight the new screenshot capability.
• Refactored Prompt Generation: The AI prompt is now structured into distinct categories: Equipment, Obsolete Gear, Recipes, and Crafting Materials.
• Improved AI Instructions: Updated the system prompt to include specific directives for inventory management, material cross-referencing, and talent respec analysis.
• Strict Stat Adherence Directive: Added explicit instructions to the AI prompt to ignore internal knowledge of item names/affixes and strictly use the provided stat strings to prevent cross-expansion hallucinations.
• Stat Parsing Refactor: Centralized GetStatString logic to ensure consistent stat formatting for both equipped gear and potential crafting products.
