Recipe Registry

# Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.

## [Unreleased]
### Changed
- Snapshot serving memory work is still under investigation and intentionally not part of `1.8.1`; any lighter `SNAP` session materialization changes remain deferred until they can be exercised against real peers.

## [1.8.1] - 2026-05-10
### Added
- Local backend coverage now includes a bounded catalog cache regression spec for the recipe list and recipe detail caches.

### Changed
- Recipe catalog list and detail caches are now bounded, which reduces steady-state addon memory growth when many distinct searches and recipe detail lookups are opened over time.
- Recipe index rows are now sorted once during index build and reused directly, avoiding an extra crafter cache copy for every recipe lookup.
- Tooltip crafter indexing now stores recipe keys instead of duplicating full crafter rows per item/spell bucket, lowering the UI memory footprint while keeping the same visible tooltip results.

## [1.8.0] - 2026-05-10
### Added
- Additional sync diagnostics and guarded runtime reset tooling are now available for targeted troubleshooting of stalled local sync sessions.

### Changed
- Direct sync requests now use bounded retries, temporary peer backoff, and healthier source selection so one silent peer does not keep the single-flight queue stuck for minutes.
- Direct sync can now keep a small bounded set of owner requests active at once, immediately backfilling freed slots instead of waiting for the next global queue tick.
- The new bounded parallelism improves catch-up throughput while reducing wasted work through deduplication, queue caps, stale-state pruning, deferred manifest fallback, and cache reuse instead of increasing background aggressiveness across the board.
- Snapshot transfer session IDs are now collision-safe under same-second burst traffic, and stale outgoing, partial snapshot, partial manifest, and peer-manifest runtime state is pruned more aggressively.
- Targeted manifest refreshes now retry on later `HELLO` sessions until a peer manifest is actually received, and manual manifest pulls clear temporary peer backoff so stalled peers can be probed again without waiting out a long timeout window.
- Login, reload, combat-exit, and instance-exit recovery now use a short warm-up window that defers heavier manifest fan-out, catch-up drain, and background tooltip rebuild work instead of resuming everything at once.
- Direct sync now pumps the next queued request immediately after a transfer finishes or fails, and deferred manifest catch-up no longer waits on an unrelated in-flight request before making progress.
- Periodic `HELLO` and auto-tick flows no longer proactively rebroadcast manifests to every peer, relying instead on targeted `HELLO` replies and explicit refresh paths to reduce manifest queue growth and background memory pressure.
- Peer-manifest comparison no longer forces synchronous local manifest fallback builds during warm-up or other busy windows, and replay is retried automatically once the cache is ready.
- Diagnostic `TrickleSync` outbound queues are now bounded and replaced per compare pass instead of growing forever across repeated peer manifests.
- Sync routing now refreshes stale guild roster metadata before making harder viability decisions, so live online peers are less likely to be ignored because of stale local roster state.
- Combat and instance pause gates remain authoritative for the heavier background work, so the new sync behavior stays transparent for normal users and does not bypass safety pauses in sensitive contexts.

## [1.7.0] - 2026-05-09
### Added
- Debug-only sync and manifest diagnostics now expose richer internal counters and communication telemetry when troubleshooting larger guild scenarios.

### Changed
- Internal system and guardrail chat messages are now kept quiet by default and shown only while debug mode is enabled, reducing chat spam for normal users.
- Manifest catch-up requests from large peer manifests are now capped and drained progressively to avoid request bursts in larger guilds.
- The manifest catch-up path now avoids building peer-side diff work it does not consume, reducing comparison overhead during heavier sync traffic.
- Repeated unchanged manifests are no longer re-announced to the same peer unless the manifest changes or a forced refresh is requested, reducing background sync noise in larger guilds.
- The first `HELLO` seen from a peer in a local session now triggers one targeted manifest refresh request, helping unchanged peers repair missing metadata after reloads or updates.
- Manifest-driven block requests now keep the expected block fingerprint locally, so same-revision metadata upgrades such as profession specializations are not skipped as already satisfied.
- Wiping the local database now clears in-memory sync session state and immediately requests fresh guild manifests again, avoiding slow partial catch-up when a wipe happens mid-session.
- Tooltip crafter indexes now rebuild in background and keep using the previous index while fresh data is prepared, reducing hitching on the first hover after sync or roster changes.
- Instances now pause non-essential addon work much more aggressively, including sync protocol traffic, manifest cache work, maintenance jobs, and background UI rebuilds, while raid groups outside instances no longer block background sync.
- Concurrent guild sync now drops already-satisfied requests sooner and handles coordinator handoff more cleanly during heavier background traffic.
- Replica sync is now stricter around stale local owners, so in-flight peer data does not accidentally reactivate records that were already marked stale locally.

## [1.6.0] - 2026-05-07
### Added
- Profession specializations are now tracked and shared with guildmates when they are first discovered or actually changed.
- Existing guild data can now pick up newly available profession specialization details without asking users to wipe and rebuild their local database.
- Recipe Registry now includes a saved-data cleanup flow, plus a lightweight automatic repair pass after login for clearly invalid local records.
- Sync and scan status output is clearer when checking whether your guild recipe database is up to date.

### Changed
- Learned recipes are less likely to be missed if the profession window is not ready yet or another profession is opened first.
- More complete profession data is protected from being replaced by empty or incomplete data received from another guildmate.
- Guildmates who wipe or rebuild their local data can catch up from already synced peers more reliably.
- Profession specialization updates from other guildmates are now received more reliably, even when the recipe list itself did not change.
- Enchanting and spell-based recipes are kept more reliably when optional recipe metadata is incomplete.
- Guild roster cleanup is less likely to hide active guildmates while the roster is still loading.
- Guild sync no longer pauses just because you are in a raid group outside combat or an instance.
- Guild sync now spreads some background work more smoothly, which helps larger guild databases stay responsive.
- Manual profession refreshes now make better use of currently available profession data and report more clearly when a refresh still needs the profession window.
- Long sync summaries are now kept shorter by default, with detailed output reserved for troubleshooting.

## [1.5.3] - 2026-05-03
### Added
- Tooltips for craftable items, recipe items, and spell/enchant links now show known crafters, preferring online guildmates when available.

### Changed
- The main search box now releases focus on Enter/Escape or outside clicks, allowing chat to open normally after searching.
- The main window close button now uses the addon's direct close path and the title bar can be dragged, with placement saved per profile.
- Tooltip crafter indexing now avoids automatic full background rebuilds and skips dirty rebuilds in combat to prevent gameplay stutter after data changes.

## [1.5.2] - 2026-05-01
### Changed
- Improved offline guildmate sync so already-synced online guild members can share known offline crafter data more reliably during catch-up.

## [1.5.1] - 2026-05-01
### Changed
- Improved sync reliability for offline guildmates so their profession data is more likely to be discovered and filled in from other already-synced guild members.

## [1.5.0] - 2026-04-28
### Added
- Automatic guild recipe sync now fills in missing data progressively, including recipes belonging to guildmates who are currently offline when another synced guildmate already knows them.
- New `Roster Cleanup` button in the main window to refresh guild membership data locally and remove old ex-guild entries over time.

### Changed
- Guild sync now runs more quietly in the background, applying data in smaller steps instead of larger bursts.
- Sync automatically pauses in combat, raids, and instances, then resumes when it is safe again.
- Roster cleanup is manual-only for now and runs entirely in the background.
- Mock/test data no longer leaks into normal profession and recipe views.
- Recipe and profession lists remain stable after running internal sync tests.

## [1.4.0] - 2026-04-16
### Added
- Character-based favorites system: click the star icon in the recipe list to add or remove favorites.
- Favorite toggle is also available in the detail panel header for the selected recipe.
- New `Favorites` filter at the top of the left profession list to show only favorite recipes.
- Right-click on a recipe row now toggles favorite state as a shortcut.
- Hovering a recipe row in the center list now shows the related item or spell tooltip at the cursor.
- Global recipe search can now run without selecting a profession first.

### Changed
- Herbalism and Skinning are hidden from the left profession list in TBC, since they do not provide recipe entries.
- Favorite state now persists per character.
- The minimap button behavior and saved position handling have been modernized.
- The recipe browser now starts without forcing the `All` profession view, encouraging profession-first browsing or global search.
- Global search waits for a short minimum query before searching the full recipe index, with updated empty-state messaging and headers.
- Recipe browsing and crafter updates are now more responsive, especially in larger guild datasets.
- Item name and icon refreshes now feel smoother and avoid unnecessary redraws while data is still loading.
- Window refresh behavior has been refined to reduce unnecessary work while the UI is open.

## [1.3.0] - 2026-04-03
### Added
- Offline crafters are now grouped in a collapsible accordion; collapsed by default when at least one crafter is online, expanded when all are offline.
- Hovering the recipe title in the detail panel shows the full item or enchant tooltip at the cursor.
- Item names now auto-refresh when WoW populates its cache, fixing `item:12345` placeholders on cold login.

### Changed
- Default window size increased to `1200x750` (minimum `1000x620`) for better detail panel readability.
- Shift-click on the recipe title now links the crafted item first instead of the spell, reducing missing-icon cases for recipients.
- Added spacing between icon and recipe name in the detail panel title.
- Recipe labels now recover cleanly from `item:12345` placeholders when the real item name becomes available later.
- Beast Training (Hunter) spells are no longer scanned as Enchanting recipes.
- Invalid non-craft spells are now filtered out more reliably during scanning and sync.

## [1.2.3] - 2026-04-02
### Changed
- Profession scans now avoid disturbing the native profession window when local recipe data is already current.
- Hidden addon UI refresh work is reduced during sync bursts.
- The native profession window now keeps its filters and context more reliably on reopen.
- Recipe lists now stay populated more reliably, especially Cooking after a forced scan.

- Recipe material unit and total cost display, plus overall cost estimate.
- Shift-click support for linking the selected recipe and materials into chat.
- One-click quick-request action for online crafters.
- In-game options panel for addon settings.

### Changed
