GideonRaid is a small, focused raid addon for Midnight (12.1) built on one rule: it never reads combat data.
WHAT IT DOES
• Entombed Sentinels (Mythic) — Intermission Matching Game: click the orb composition you see above your head ("3 greens + 1 red", "2 greens + 2 reds", "3 reds + 1 green") and the panel instantly shows what you have, where to stand, which composition your partner must be, and the ping to send.
• 3-second visibility countdown: you are warned before Vashnik darkens the room.
• Pre-pull plan view: shows the pairing plan your raid leader prepared out of game ("Your partner: X"), with a safety check — 2V2R + 2V2R and 3V1R + 1V3R are safe; everything else is 5 greens = death.
• One-click ping macro: the exact macro text to copy, so you only have to press it.
• Configurable (scale, position, enable/disable), slash commands, optional key binding (no default key).
WHAT IT CAN NEVER DO (Blizzard 12.x rules)
• It cannot read other players' auras or debuffs — those are secret values in combat (comparing them is a Lua error).
• It cannot message other addons inside an instance, and cannot send pings itself (protected API — macros only).
• It cannot display anything on other players' screens.
This is by design, per Blizzard's "Combat Philosophy and Addon Disarmament in Midnight". Any feature requiring combat-state reading or client-to-client data is simply not in this addon.
