Changelog

All notable changes to RuneQuilt will be officially documented here.

[1.5 Updates: Deep Continuity & Editor Overhaul]

The primary focus of the 1.5 updates transitioned the app from a capable structural editor to an intelligent writing assistant loaded with state-of-the-art continuity features.

Build Polish & Final Features

• Context Menu Parity: Integrated seamless "Copy", "Cut", and "Paste" functionality synchronously into the custom context menu, bypassing normal Chromium clipboard security restrictions for native fluid integration. Keyboard shortcut safety was heavily fortified.
• UI Hardening: Finalized dark theme edge-cases involving borders, ComboBoxes, and main window toolbars. Fixed obscure rendering bugs related to swapping adjacent rows.

The Continuity & Tension Engine

• The Magic Filter Engine: Implemented the "Magic Filter" feature that smartly isolates and displays only the subset of rows affected by an active continuity error, hiding all non-relevant rows. Built sophisticated bidirectional sync logic to ensure the Magic Filter plays nicely with the Global Undo engine.
• The Logic Evaluator: Introduced the intelligent Continuity Engine capable of parsing story cells, scanning text for subjects, contexts, and states, and matching them against user-defined rules.
• Tension Graph Visualizer: Built out the Bezier-curve Tension Graph visualization, adding features like milestone label skewing and exact snapping constraints.

The Writer's Companion & Codex

• Writing Expertise Integrated: Shipped "The Writer's Codex," a multi-chapter internal guide offering deep-dives into Character Psychology (via the Johari Window), Prose Stylistics, Series Planning, and Outlining Methods.
• Contextual Side Panel: Added the Writer's Companion UI, housing dynamic rule-based continuity incident alerts alongside structural writing tips ("Example Do" / "Example Don't").

System Hardening & Undos

• Global Undo/Redo Engine: Ripped out restrictive confirmation popups and replaced them with a deeply integrated, highly sophisticated generic Undo/Redo engine capable of tracking rich-text edits, row/column swapping, deletions, and snapshot restores.
• Advanced Row & Column Interactivity: Implemented highly requested intelligent column and row swapping, dynamic column autosizing, and slice features ("cut to new row above/below").

Enhanced Data Guardrails

• Relationship Management: Built an advanced tag relationship manager to link custom entities together, heavily safeguarding against duplicate fields or corrupted references inside the Lorebook, Custom Columns manager, and Relationship Manager.

[1.0 Journey: Forging The Foundation]

The sprawling 1.0 lifecycle moved RuneQuilt from its initial grid concept through a gauntlet of architectural hybrid-app redesigns, ending in a stable, commercial-ready product.

Finalizing The Core Structure

• Marketing & Delivery Integration: Designed the comprehensive marketing platform, wrote the onboarding documentation, established End User License Agreements (EULAs), and compiled the InnoSetup installer workflows.
• Snapshot Lifecycle Tracking: Deployed robust custom-named snapshot mechanisms and added visual UI trackers representing active session progress to give writers feedback on their productivity.
• Dark Mode Propagation: Systematically propagated dark mode aesthetics through every corner of the WPF wrapper, standardizing brushes and menu highlight states.

Architectural Maturation

• The `.runequilt` File Paradigm: Completely rewrote the save system to use an underlying ZIP archive infrastructure. This pivotal update allowed local assets (like embedded images) to be securely bundled together in non-volatile isolated workspaces, resolving massive cross-origin WebResourceRequested issues.
• Rich Text Images & Overlays: Upgraded the Quill.js editor to fully support dynamic inline image insertion, topped with modern 8-point resizing overlays.
• Cross-Interop Stress Testing: Authored heavy Python scripts to algorithmically hammer the grid engine with massive MS Word document imports, eventually smoothing out Microsoft Word parse bugs and word count spikes.
• Check-in & Licensing: Integrated secure external check-ins to monitor strict end-user license key compliance.

Establishing the Grid

• Custom Column Engine: Built the foundational mechanics allowing authors to mint dynamic column templates extending beyond standard rich-text, turning the grid into a true database hybrid.
• Hybrid Bridge Construction: Tied the low-level WPF C# container directly into the WebView2 Chromium renderer via bidirectional messaging and event handlers.
• Initial Prototyping: The Git repository was initialized. Visual layouts for grids, column headers, and the basic WPF outer shell were built up across the earliest development cycles.
