# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

## [Unreleased]

– Nothing yet.

## [v0.1.44] – 2025-09-24

### Fixed

- Tooltip: For Shuffle/Blitz, show the best available spec for other players when we cannot know their current spec from the tooltip context. Keep strict “current spec only” behavior for your own character. This resolves cases where players like Hotaru or Raiynz appeared as “—” despite having Shuffle ratings.

### Notes

- Data format unchanged; this was a tooltip logic refinement. No data regeneration is required for the fix to take effect.

## [v0.1.43] – 2025-09-24

### Changed

- Data pipeline defaults: Fetcher (`tools/fetch.js`) and Scraper (`tools/scrape.js`) now default to unlimited entries/pages when env variables are unset. Previously some caps defaulted to 5000 entries or limited pagination; this ensures maximum ladder coverage out of the box. You can still cap via environment variables.

### Removed

- Removed the experimental in‑game live sharing/receiving logic. The addon again relies solely on prebuilt ladder snapshots.

## [v0.1.42] – 2025-09-23

### Legend entry

- Legend adjusted: instead of “Disabled: Gray,” the legend now explains the placeholder “—: No data available.” The note remains that only active players from the official leaderboards are shown.

## [v0.1.40] – 2025-09-23

### Minimap

- Fix: Border perfectly centered. Adopted Blizzard tracking button geometry exactly (54px tracking border around a 32px button with a 20px circular icon/mask) to correct the off‑center look.

### Options UI

- Professional two‑column layout with left‑aligned labels and constrained widths to prevent overflow
- Reset to defaults sets all brackets visible, Trend off by default; disabled brackets don’t render

### Tooltip

- When no brackets are selected, show header only
- Shuffle/Blitz: always use current spec with a “—” placeholder when the active spec has no rating

### CI/Workflows

- Scheduled alpha uploads fixed by removing an invalid packager flag; lint remains green

## [v0.1.41] – 2025-09-23

### Options UI

- Single‑column, streamlined layout: legend, preview, and info texts moved into a dedicated section at the bottom
- Widened checkbox labels; buttons auto‑size to text width (no overflow)
- Bracket order: professional scroll up/down arrow buttons instead of “^/v” text buttons

### Minimap

- Ring exakt zentriert; Icon kreisförmig gemaskt (22 px) und sauber ausgerichtet
- Echter, runder Hover-Glow via SetHighlightTexture (Blizzard-Standard)

### Lint

- Luacheck: W212 (unused argument) im Minimap-Skript bereinigt

### Workflows & Daten

- Scheduled-Workflow stabilisiert: Runner-Pin auf ubuntu-22.04 und Packager mit Retry (3 Versuche)
- API-Fetcher respektiert jetzt MAX_ENTRIES_PER_BRACKET (0 = unlimitiert); Variablen werden an Fetcher und Scraper durchgereicht

## [v0.1.39] – 2025-09-23

### Bugfixes

- Tooltip: Fix nil dereference when current spec has no `bySpec` entry (always render a line with “—” instead of error/hide)
- Tooltip: Locale-agnostic specialization mapping using spec IDs → canonical slugs (e.g., 102 → `balance`) so Shuffle/Blitz matches data reliably

### Behavior

- Shuffle/Blitz now always use the player’s current spec when `bySpec` exists; if there’s no rating for that spec, a placeholder “—” is shown. The previous toggle was removed to avoid confusion.

### Options UI

- Removed the “Use current spec only for Shuffle/Blitz” checkbox; behavior is always-on
- Tightened layout: fixed text widths and wrapping so labels don’t overflow; scroll area sizing refined

### Minimap

- Made the button match Blizzard’s standard more closely (static tracking border, no dynamic recolor)

## [v0.1.38] – 2025-09-23

### Data pipeline

- Fetcher (API) now aggregates per-spec ratings for Shuffle/Blitz and writes `bySpec` to `Data.lua` (no `spec` tag)
- Matches the scraper behavior so tooltips can reliably show “current spec only” across both modes

### Maintenance

- No addon UI changes; relies on prior release behavior (v0.1.37)

## [v0.1.37] – 2025-09-23

### Data format & pipeline

- Remove spec tag from `Data.lua` entirely; keep `bySpec` only for Shuffle/Blitz to pick the current spec’s rating
- Scraper/Fetcher updated to stop serializing `spec = "…"` in output
- Scheduled workflow: always commits `Data.lua` after generation so “Updated X ago” stays fresh

### Tooltip & behavior

- Shuffle/Blitz now strictly show only the rating of the player’s current specialization when `bySpec` exists (no spec tag text)
- If no entry exists for the current spec, the bracket is hidden for that player

### Options UI

- Settings page made scrollable to prevent overflow on smaller screens
- New option (default on): “Use current spec only for Shuffle/Blitz (hide ratings from other specs)”

### Lint

- Fix luacheck W611 (whitespace-only line) in `PvPScoutOptions.lua`

## [v0.1.36] – 2025-09-23

### AddOn UI/UX

- Setup Page: added icon+subtitle, clear section headers (General, Display, Data & Behavior)
- New Preview box: shows sample tooltip rows reflecting current settings (rank/trend and live color bands)
- Legend: visual color swatches for Top 0.01%, >=2400, >=2100, >=1800, <1800, and disabled gray
- Reset controls: “Reset to defaults” and “Clear trend history” buttons
- Localization: all new texts available in EN/DE; remaining prints/messages localized

### Minimap

- Visuals: switched to Blizzard’s MiniMap-TrackingBorder and common mouse highlight for a native look
- Kept freshness ring behavior by tinting the border; still green→yellow→red based on data age

### Compatibility

- Removed the “ElvUI/TipTac” compat toggle; tooltip hooking is automatic, idempotent, and works under Blizzard/ElvUI/TipTac

### Misc

- Startup log localized; bracket names in menus/prints are localized consistently

## [v0.1.35] – 2025-09-23

### Repo cleanup & structure

- Removed legacy duplicate addon folder `PvPScout/` (root layout is the single source of truth)
- Ignore backup data files (`Data.*.bak.lua`) and `tools/out/` in `.gitignore`

### Scraper & workflow

- Class/spec pagination: prefer path-style URLs exclusively to avoid redundant variants; fallback to query only when needed
- Scraper always writes `Data.lua` so `updatedAt` is refreshed each run
- Scheduled workflow now commits `Data.lua` back when changed (keeps Setup/Tooltip timestamps fresh)

## [v0.1.34] – 2025-09-22

### Scraper

- Increased default page limit for Shuffle/Blitz from 3 to 10 pages per class for more comprehensive data coverage
- Ensure class-filtered pages iterate up to the configured cap even when pagination links aren't visible on the site

### AddOn

- Settings: Added legend explaining that '—' symbol means no data available (rating likely too low for official leaderboards)
- Localization: Added legend text for English and German

## [v0.1.32] – 2025-09-22

### Scraper

- Pagination: scrape across multiple leaderboard pages per bracket (auto-discovered); configurable via `MAX_PAGES_PER_BRACKET`
- Caps: configurable `MAX_ENTRIES_PER_BRACKET` (default no cap) to keep `Data.lua` compact when desired
- Region filtering tightened using character links/payload to avoid mixed-region entries
- Shuffle/Blitz per spec: iterate all 39 class specializations (EU+US) and paginate each; dedupe players by best rank
- Performance: early-stop on empty pages, bracket-specific page caps (team vs class-filtered), keep-alive agent, moderate concurrency and polite delay
- Safety: skip-write-if-unchanged to avoid unnecessary file churn in CI

### Workflows

- Default `LOCALE` auto-selects `en_GB` if `eu` is among regions, else `en_US` (already active)
- Pass pagination/cap envs to scraper in scheduled and tag workflows
- Prepare env toggles for Shuffle/Blitz (e.g., `CLASS_FILTER_MODE=class-spec`, `MAX_CLASS_FILTERS_PER_BRACKET=39`, `MAX_PAGES_CLASS_BRACKETS`)

### Docs

- README updated with pagination and size controls, and clarification that releases generate `Data.lua` at tag time

## [v0.1.31] – 2025-09-22

### Documentation

- README: clarified addon size impact and that `Data.lua` is bounded (cap ~5k entries per bracket) and generated during tag releases as well as on schedule
- Minor wording tweaks around the temporary scraper fallback and schedule

## [v0.1.30] – 2025-09-22

### Scraper & local dev

- Scraper: optional TLS options for corporate proxies/SSL interception
- `CA_CERT_PATH`/`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` to trust a PEM bundle
- `INSECURE_TLS=1` for local testing only (disables verification)
- Fix: Cheerio ESM import (`{ load as cheerioLoad }`)
- README: added guidance for local scraping behind TLS-inspecting proxies

## [v0.1.29] – 2025-09-22

### Data pipeline: temporary HTML scraper fallback

- New tools/scrape.js: polite HTML scraper for public bracket leaderboards as a temporary fallback when Blizzard API credentials are unavailable
- Workflow “Update PvP data (scheduled alpha)” now auto-selects mode:
- API mode (default) when BLIZZARD_CLIENT_ID/SECRET are present
- Scraper mode fallback when they are not; identifies with a UA, rate-limits (~1 req/s), and retries on transient errors
- Maintainer override: Actions variable DATA_MODE can force `fetch` or `scrape`

### Documentation

- README: clarified data sources (full bracket lists, not per-class filters), 3‑hour schedule, temporary scraper fallback, and maintainer inputs

## [v0.1.28] – 2025-09-21

### Compatibility & features

- Optional “Compatible tooltip hook (ElvUI/TipTac)” setting: uses an alternate GameTooltip hook path to play nicely with popular tooltip addons (off by default)

### Workflow: scheduled updater

- Hardened “Update PvP data (scheduled alpha)” workflow: clearer logs, default inputs when variables are unset, retry on fetch failure, timeout, manual dispatch, and explicit skip messaging when required secrets are missing

### Documentation

- README: added a Compatibility section for the new hook and clarified scheduled updater behavior

## [v0.1.27] – 2025-09-21

### Fixes

- Minimap: resolve leftover merge markers that caused luacheck E011 near line 159
- Minimap: silence W212 by marking the dropdown initializer's first arg as intentionally unused
- Packaging: new patch tag to include the lint fix in a released build

## [v0.1.26] – 2025-09-21

### Fixes & adjustments

- Minimap: fixed error when right-clicking if `EasyMenu` isn’t available by falling back to `UIDropDownMenu_*` APIs
- Tooltip: when no ladder data exists for a bracket, still show placeholders for Rank and Trend if those options are enabled
- Tooltip: removed bracket icons per feedback for a cleaner, more compact look

## [v0.1.25] – 2025-09-21

### UI/UX polish

- Minimap: normalized button further to 28px and kept the slim circular rim for better consistency with default buttons
- Minimap ring: color-coded by data age (fresh → green, warning → yellow, stale → red; black when unknown)
- Tooltip: added small bracket icons before each line for quick recognition
- Tooltip header: shortened localized title to “Rating” (enUS) / “Wertung” (deDE)

### Sharing & parity

- New: quick “Share ratings to chat” via the minimap context menu inserts a compact, editable line into the chat input
- Rank placeholder parity: when “Show rank” is on but rank is unknown, both tooltip and chat output show “(Rank —)”
- Trend placeholder parity: when Trend is enabled but no history exists yet, a compact “—” is shown

### Lint & maintenance

- Fixed luacheck warnings in the minimap file (avoid shadowing a local and guard `ChatEdit_*` via `_G`)
- Minor string and localization adjustments

## [v0.1.24] – 2025-09-21

### UI/UX tweaks

- Minimap: normalized the button to 31px and slimmed the border ring for a consistent look with other minimap buttons

### Tooltip & slash parity

- Rank placeholder parity: when “Show rank” is enabled but no rank is known, chat output now shows “(Rank —)” like the tooltip

### Optional 7‑day trend (local)

- New option: “Trend” (off by default). Shows a compact 7‑day delta per selected bracket in the tooltip, e.g. “[Trend +12]”
- Local snapshots: on login, the addon stores your character’s current ratings to SavedVariables to compute deltas later
- Placeholder: when not enough data is available yet, a compact “—” is shown instead of a number

## [v0.1.23] – 2025-09-21

### Cleanup & Packaging

- Removed the gallery automation and generated artifacts from the repository
- Deleted `tools/prepare-curseforge-content.js` and `dist/curseforge/*`
- Removed `screenshots/gallery.json` and related scaffolding
- Simplified the tag-release workflow to rely solely on the packager (release notes still come from `CHANGELOG.md`)
- Added `CURSEFORGE_GALLERY.md` as a simple manual copy sheet for the CurseForge Gallery

### UI/UX

- Minimap: centered black circular border (cleaner, consistent with other minimap buttons)
- Tooltip: when “Show rank” is enabled but the rank isn’t known yet, display a compact placeholder: “(Rank —)”
- Tooltip: for brackets without data yet, use a short placeholder “—” on the right side to keep the tooltip narrow

### Additional notes

- No changes to the data fetcher or SavedVariables; CI lint remains in place
- Manual updates to the CurseForge Overview/Gallery are still recommended (see `CURSEFORGE_DESCRIPTION.md` and `CURSEFORGE_GALLERY.md`)

## [v0.1.22] – 2025-09-21

### Gallery & Description

- Added a screenshots gallery pipeline:
- `screenshots/` folder with `gallery.json` (order, titles, captions)
- `tools/prepare-curseforge-content.js` generates `dist/curseforge/description.md`, `gallery.json`, and copies images
- Tag workflow uploads a `curseforge-content` artifact for easy copy/paste into the CurseForge project
- New, polished `CURSEFORGE_DESCRIPTION.md` for a clean project page

### Lint/Time Safety

- Guard time/date via `_G` in tooltip and options to satisfy luacheck and ensure correct timestamps
- Options now show the absolute timestamp for the actual fetch time (not current time)

### Packaging

- `.pkgmeta`: ignore `screenshots/` and `dist/` so images and artifacts don’t ship in the addon ZIP

## [v0.1.21] – 2025-09-21

### Fixes & Lint

- Lint: guard date() usage in options via _G to satisfy luacheck W113

### Options

- Show "Last updated: X ago (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM)" in the settings page based on the fetched data timestamp
- Add a short explanation of what the stale-data threshold does

### Minimap tweaks

- Border aligned and scaled to match the default tracking button style more closely
- Hover tooltip now has a title (PvPScout) and shows "Brackets shown in Settings: …" with the currently selected brackets

## [v0.1.20] – 2025-09-21

### Tooltip polish

- Header now titled "Bracket Rating" (localized) and shows the detected region dynamically (EU/US/etc.)
- Season is displayed only when known (> 0); avoids showing "S0" early on
- Rank label localized and only shown when available (> 0)

### Minimap

- Added subtle hover glow and a proper circular border so the icon blends in with other minimap buttons
- On hover, a small tooltip now appears:
- Left-click: opens settings
- Lists which brackets are currently shown (localized)

### Maintenance

- Minor string tweaks and i18n additions

## [v0.1.19] – 2025-09-21

### Fixes & UX

- Minimap: ensure visibility and apply a reliable circular mask; keep position updated on show
- Tooltip: show placeholder rows per bracket when no data is available yet
- Options: added "Reload UI" button; bracket order updates now immediately affect tooltips
- Lint: silence remaining warnings by guarding globals and adjusting calls

## [v0.1.18] – 2025-09-21

### UX improvements

- Minimap: icon uses a circular mask (looks like other minimap buttons)
- Options navigation: registered under AddOns via the modern Settings API; improved fallbacks
- New slash command: /pvpscoutaddons opens the AddOns pane directly

## [v0.1.17] – 2025-09-21

### Quality of Life

- Startup message on login (English): shows version, where to find settings (/pvpscout), minimap visibility, and selected brackets

### Fixes & compatibility

- Tooltip hook: use TooltipDataProcessor with fallback to avoid errors on modern clients
- Options: slider label updates no longer rely on global names (fixes nil concatenation)
- Icons: prefer .blp/.tga for minimap icon; TOC IconTexture points to .blp

## [v0.1.16] – 2025-09-21

### UX

- Minimap: right-click menu now has
- Show/Hide minimap icon
- Reset minimap position (back to 45°)
- Options: added a "Reset minimap position" button next to the visibility toggle

### Fixes & Maintenance

- TOC: Interface bumped to 110200 (Retail 11.0.2)
- Lint: removed usage of math.atan2 (not available in WoW) with a safe angle helper
- Docs/Fetcher: added an offline fallback for local testing (JSON/CSV via OFFLINE_SOURCE)

## [v0.1.15] – 2025-09-21

### Enhancements

- Localization: enUS and deDE for UI labels, tooltip text, and minimap menu
- Options panel: added toggles for “Show header”, “Show updated X ago”, and “Color by rating”
- New slider: configurable stale-data threshold (1–72h, default 24h)
- Tooltip/minimap strings localized; consistent bracket labels

### Internal changes

- Added luacheck/stylua configs and a CI lint workflow
- Removed a duplicate, unused tooltip file from the old subfolder

## [v0.1.14] – 2025-09-21

### Features

- Options panel: enable/disable addon, show rank toggle, show minimap icon, and per-bracket visibility
- Bracket ordering: reorder which brackets appear first in the tooltip via Up/Down controls
- Minimap button: draggable icon with a right-click context menu for quick toggles (enable, show rank/header/updated age, per-bracket)
- Tooltip polish:
- Header with region and season, optional “updated X ago” timestamp
- Optional stale-data notice when older than a configurable threshold
- Color-by-rating option, aligned values (AddDoubleLine), and a clear “No data” fallback
- Slash command: `/pvpscout` opens options; `/pvpscout enable` and `/pvpscout disable` still supported

### Data & automation

- Scheduled alpha updates continue to run every 3 hours (if secrets are configured)
- No changes to tag-based releases: create a tag like `v0.2.0` to publish a proper release

### Internal maintenance

- SavedVariables migration: backfills new fields with safe defaults (e.g., `bracketOrder`, UI toggles)
- Docs & lint: changelog formatting and markdownlint config adjusted

## [v0.1.13] – 2025-09-21

### Fixes & Packaging

- Flatten addon layout to repository root (TOC + Lua files at root)
- Stabilize packager (BigWigsMods/packager v2.4.3); fix 400 changelog error
- Simplify .pkgmeta (manual changelog; drop move-folders)

## [v0.1.12] – 2025-09-21

### Fixes

- Correct TOC detection for the packager; resolve conflicts caused by `move-folders`
- Add debug steps to workflows

## [v0.1.11] – 2025-09-21

### Workflow fixes

- Remove duplicate `run` keys in YAML; harden upload workflow when secrets are missing

## [v0.1.10] – 2025-09-21

### New

- Set up tag-triggered release workflow (CurseForge upload); first successful release

## Data pipeline

- New scheduled workflow “Update PvP data (scheduled alpha)”: fetches data via Blizzard Game Data API and uploads alpha builds to CurseForge – without tagging
- Fetcher (`tools/fetch.js`) improvements:
- Auto-discover leaderboard slugs via the season index (with fallback probing)
- Configurable locale (default: `en_US`)
- Writes `Data.lua` either to the WoW Addon directory (when `WOW_ADDON_DIR` is set) or to the repository root

## Notes

- Required Actions secrets for automatic data updates: `BLIZZARD_CLIENT_ID`, `BLIZZARD_CLIENT_SECRET`, `CF_API_KEY`
- Optional Actions variables: `REGIONS` (e.g. `eu,us`), `BRACKETS` (e.g. `2v2,3v3,shuffle,rbg,blitz`), `LOCALE` (e.g. `de_DE`)
