PetQuestOverlayFJ

Technical Improvements in v1.0.2

📁 .toc Optimization

• Header streamlining: The .toc file was refined to eliminate redundant metadata and ensure minimal parsing overhead.

• Author field omitted: In accordance with new doctrinal standards, the Author field was removed from the .toc file. Attribution is now handled externally, reducing unnecessary field evaluation and improving load speed.

• SavedVariablesPerCharacter enforced: The AddOn now declares SavedVariablesPerCharacter explicitly, ensuring isolated configuration per character and preventing cross-profile contamination.

These changes result in faster AddOn registration during client startup and eliminate potential parsing delays caused by legacy or unused fields.

🧠 PetQuestOverlayFJ.lua Enhancements

• Firewall-style segmentation: Introduced per-character control logic using GUID-based subtable creation. This ensures that each character operates in a fully isolated environment, with no risk of data bleed or shared corruption.

• Lazy GUID resolution: The AddOn now defers GUID resolution until necessary, avoiding premature calls during early load phases and improving compatibility with varied loading sequences.

• Type-safe variable initialization: All SavedVariable roots and subtables are now verified and sanitized using strict type checks, preventing runtime errors caused by malformed or externally corrupted data.

• Boolean coercion logic: The IsEnabled() function now uses explicit coercion to ensure consistent boolean returns, even if the enabled field is undefined or improperly typed.

• Hook safety: The hook into Blizzard’s World Quest provider is now guarded by a _pqofj_hooked flag, preventing duplicate injections and ensuring stable behavior across map transitions.

• Combat-safe behavior: The AddOn avoids any UI or map operations during combat lockdown (PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED), ensuring full compliance with Blizzard’s protected environment rules.

✅ Stability Verification

• The AddOn was tested across multiple characters and zones.

• PetBattle World Quests remain visible after completion, confirming that filtering logic is permissive and non-destructive.

• No UI taint, SavedVariable corruption, or map rendering issues were observed.

• The AddOn remains fully compatible with Blizzard’s native quest systems and does not interfere with other AddOns or overlays.
