v0.2.6 (2026-04-17)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• release: regenerate data and ship 0.2.6
  Regenerates companion JSONs and GearPath_Data.lua using the corrected
  knownItems from 03bb533. Bumps .toc to 0.2.6, adds CHANGELOG, and
  updates .gitignore for the new validation_results.json scratch file
  and local docs/.
  Post-generation validation: 107 entries, 107 PASS, 0 duplicate IDs,
  0 broken aliases. Spot-checked the Lua diff: corrected IDs reflected
  in all affected spec BiS lists, Scabrous Zombie Belt resolves via
  the new alias layer, Platinum Star Band shows DUNGEON metadata.
• fix: correct 38 knownItems entries via validate-items audit
  Validator run against the full 112-entry knownItems map surfaced 38
  incorrect ID-to-name associations (34% failure rate) affecting nearly
  every class's BiS correctness. Root cause: manual entry of (name, id)
  pairs with no automated verification, producing transpositions within
  sets, cross-class contamination (Mage IDs pointing to Hunter items),
  and two duplicate IDs.
  Changes to knownItems (38 total):
  • 10 chain-derived ID corrections (Legguards, Bonegrasps, Mercy,
    Tempests, Ceinture, Earthgrips, Embrace, Guardian, Greatboots, Grasps)
  • 12 scan-resolved ID corrections (Dreadthorns, Pillars, Frenzyward,
    5x Voidbreaker's, Girdle, Strikeguards, Windwrap, Silvermoon Belt)
  • 10 Wowhead-verified ID corrections (crafted items across four
    professions + Silvermoon Sneakers)
  • 5 phantom/unused entry deletions (Relentless Rider's Chain, Abyssal
    Immolator's Fury, Aetherlume Stompers, Bloomforged Claw, Dawncrazed
    Beast Cleaver)
  • 1 rename per API canonical naming (Scabrous Zombie Leather Belt →
    Scabrous Zombie Belt)
  • 1 metadata fix (Platinum Star Band: CRAFTED → DUNGEON, Algeth'ar
    Academy / Vexamus)
    Tooling added to prevent recurrence:
  • validate-items subcommand: cross-checks every knownItems entry
    against the Blizzard API, fails on name mismatches, reports
    duplicate IDs and broken aliases. Dumps results to
    data/validation_results.json for downstream tools.
  • resolve-items subcommand: scan-based item ID resolver using
    sibling-derived neighborhoods from PASSed entries.
  • nameAliases map: handles legitimate name mismatches between Icy
    Veins and Blizzard API canonical names at the scraper boundary.
    Post-fix state: 107 entries, 107 PASS, 0 duplicate IDs, 0 broken
    aliases.
