v5.0.0-alpha.6.2

Genie 5 — v5.0.0-alpha.6.2

The Type-Ahead release. Genie now shows a live type-ahead counter in the
command bar so you can see how many commands are queued ahead of the game, and
that limit finally matches your account tier (and self-corrects from the
server). This point release also smooths out script editing: #edit opens
your chosen editor — including the Genie 4 #config editor setting that used to
be ignored — and creates a new script for you when one doesn't exist yet.

Alpha software. Expect rough edges. Builds are unsigned — Windows
SmartScreen will warn on first launch (More info → Run anyway). Signing is
tracked in #33.

✨ New since alpha.6.1

• Type-ahead pip counter — a small counter in the command bar (between
  the roundtime badge and the input box) shows the per-account type-ahead cap as
  pips: filled = commands queued ahead of the game, hollow = free slots.
  It's dim when idle and turns amber when you've hit the cap, so you can see
  at a glance when the game is lagging behind your typing.
• Tier-accurate type-ahead — the type-ahead limit is now seeded from
  your account tier (free = 1 line, premium = 2, premium + LTB = 3) instead
  of a hardcoded value, and self-calibrates if the server reports a different
  cap ("you may only type ahead N lines"). This stops the auto-walker's batched
  movement from overrunning the buffer on free/premium accounts.
• Smarter #edit:
  • Editor selection that works — #edit (and the ✏ icon on the Script Bar)
    now open your configured editor via a clear order: Display Settings →
    Editor Path, then the Genie 4 #config editor setting, then your OS
    default text editor. (#config editor was previously accepted but silently
    ignored.)
  • Create-on-edit — #edit <name> on a script that doesn't exist now
    creates it (Genie 4 parity). Give an extension (#edit foo.js) and that
    type is created directly; leave it off (#edit foo) and a small dialog asks
    which supported type to make (.cmd, .inc, or .js).

✅ What works

Connection (Secure SGE / Lich proxy / dev-replay), the StormFront XML parser and
live GameState, the full Genie 4 .cmd script engine plus JavaScript .js
scripts, the rules engines (#alias / #trigger / #highlight / #substitute
/ #gag / #macro / #class / #var) with .cfg persistence, the AutoMapper
(click-to-goto, #goto, weighted + cross-zone routing), dockable panels with
save/load layouts, the plugin host, and the in-app updater. See the
README status table for the full list.

🚧 Not working yet / known gaps

• Unsigned builds — SmartScreen warning on Windows (#33).
• macOS / Linux update channels — the in-app updater self-updates on Windows
  only; other platforms install fresh builds manually for now (#27).
• Same-description rooms — server-uid pacing greatly improves walking through
  identical rooms, but routes through them can still occasionally mis-resolve
  (#76 / #77); #mapper reset helps. Learning terrain RT from play is future
  work.
• No light theme yet (single dark palette, #20); no injuries panel (#18);
  no Familiar/Death/Assess stream tabs (#17); no raw-XML inspector window (#14).
