v6.11.0

[6.11.0] — 2026-08-10 — Feature Manager, real feature ownership, party tokens, and a chat-card escaping fix

First minor bump of the 6.x line. Every previous 6.10.x release was a patch,
but this one adds a settings UI, changes what "disabled" means for every
feature in the module, and introduces party tokens.

Added

• Feature Manager. A settings panel that turns every feature in the module on or off individually. Features are presented as grouped choices with preview art rather than one flat list of eighty-odd switches, with the flat view still available under advanced controls.

• Disabling a feature now genuinely disables it. Previously a disabled feature could still register hooks, open sockets, publish API surface, and ship assets — it was hidden, not off. Ownership gates now run at startup, in the UI layer, on socket registration, and over feature-owned assets and registrations, so a disabled feature costs nothing at runtime.

• Party tokens. Create a party token from the current selection and recall it later, with the roster carried on the token.

• Journal Pins: composable icon pin styles, plus a default Highlight hover (orange tint and border) that preserves converted-note sizing.

• Theater of the Mind: arena grid, inline overlays, and stacked multi-select, with a demo scene and showcase.

• A reviewable cleanup tool for stale torch Sequencer records left behind under foreign names. (Issue #106)

Fixed

• Image and name interpolations are escaped in chat cards and sheets. Unescaped interpolation of actor and item names into card markup allowed markup injection through a crafted name. The same class was fixed in carousing chat portraits and effect image/name markup.

• Marching mode works again on Foundry v14. Sidebar injection had broken against the v14 DOM and the tray rail indicator was dead; createCombat is now scene-scoped without requiring an active combat. (Issue #104)

• Weapon and torch animations stop when you turn them off. An explicit disable is now terminal instead of falling through to the master list, null resolution terminates a live effect, and the master list is reachable again. Effect names no longer encode token identity in a structurally ambiguous way, the restore chain is serialized and self-heals on failure, and resolveWeaponSprite accepts Armor so shield sprites mirror correctly. (Issues #105, #110, #111)

• Duplicate sway effects no longer accumulate.

• The tray no longer offers players NPC sheets they cannot open.

• Journal pin rebuilds no longer destroy the live sprite texture when a stale rebuild lands.

• The party roster falls back cleanly for actors with no art, instead of raising an empty-src media error.

• Unidentified magic stays hidden from players, with gem and potion privacy preserved on the sheet.

• Alignment spell filtering on the character sheet is repaired, and the dungeon generator's tautological gridSize fallback is replaced with a scene-first chain.

Performance

• Hex coordinate labels are built lazily on first display rather than eagerly for the whole grid.

Internal

• Flag scanning resolves constant scopes and local const aliases through lexical scope rather than name ranges, and surfaces unresolved scope names instead of assuming them. (Issue #95)
• Three classes of verify.sh false positive that blocked CI were fixed — SCREAMING_SNAKE object-literal keys and destructured parameters read as unbound identifiers, and line-sensitive flag-snapshot comparison. Four false negatives found by adversarially probing those fixes were closed in turn. Two known gaps are recorded as issues #128 and #129.
• Phase 5.3 seam splits across the effect and combat modules, getTokensForActor lifted into one shared tested module, and an adversarial multi-model debate-review tool.
• The regression suite grew to 999 tests.
