• Add guild-wide persistent cache with delta-sync protocol
  New NARC_Cache.lua module provides passive broadcasting and persistent
  storage of crest/gear/catalyst data across the guild. Officers now see
  pre-populated (dimmed) data in the RC voting frame the moment it opens,
  with an aggressive retry loop replacing cached entries with live data.
  Cache mechanism:
  • Persistent storage in NarcDB.guildCache keyed by Name-Realm
  • Broadcasts on login, crest/cata changes (no throttle), gear changes (5min)
  • Saves own data on logout (local only, addon messages unreliable there)
  • Entries older than 7 days pruned on login
    Login sync protocol:
  • Client broadcasts a manifest of known cache timestamps
  • Deterministic responder election (highest guild rank, then alphabetical)
  • Tiered 10s fallback if primary responder is in an instance
  • Responder sends only entries where their timestamp is newer
    RC integration:
  • GetNarcPlayer falls back to cache when live NarcData is empty
  • Cell renderers dim cached text (0.6 gray) vs bright white for live data
  • GetCandidatesWithMissingData treats fromCache=true as missing, so the
    existing 60s retry loop aggressively pushes for live data during loot
    Reuses existing wire format and chunking. New message types (PCREST,
    PGEAR, PCATA, MAN, SYNC) are discriminated by msgType prefix under the
    shared NARC addon message prefix.

• Match section underline colors to gear track colors
  Hero Dawncrest underline now uses Hero blue, Myth Dawncrest uses
  Myth purple — consistent with the paperdoll gear slot coloring.

• Add WoW Packager GitHub Action for CurseForge releases
  • Workflow triggers on version tags (v*)
  • Uses BigWigsMods/packager@v2 to build and upload
