v1.2.3

Fixed

• Chat crash (emojiStr.charCodeAt is not a function) — emoji cache/picker/suggestions now skip invalid emoji input instead of throwing; IMVU no longer hard-shuts down when preload or suggestions hit a bad catalog entry

v1.2.1

Added

• Forged JSON chatId detection — boots third-party injectors that hardcode "chatId": "141" while the IMQ queue is the real room id (Findzu/Findgu-style prejoin protocol); boot reason forged_chat_id
• Findzu / Findgu promo markers — findzu.net, findgu.net in normalized message text (fallback when chat id is correct)
• tools/analyze_chatid_mismatch.py — scans IMVULog.log* for JSON chatId vs queue mismatches (used to validate zero false positives on normal users before shipping)

Changed

• check_incoming_message() evaluates forged chat id before promo text so prejoin *isPureUser / *putOnOutfit bursts are booted immediately
• docs/antibot.md — Pattern C (Findzu), forged-chat-id rules, chatId log analysis notes

v1.2.0

Added

• Room antibot patch — room owners and mods auto-boot VuArchives promo bots when spam messages match known patterns (vuarchives.com, tracking IDs, etc.)

• Whitelist — add/remove trusted users; paginated list; persisted to %APPDATA%\IMVUClient\antibot_whitelist.json (built-in trusted IDs included)
• CLI: python -m imvu_toolkit antibot install|restore
• IMVU-Antibot-Installer.exe GUI installer (Install / Restore, live log) plus install_antibot.ps1 and install_antibot_gui.ps1

• Whitelist tab no longer overflows the popup; fixed height, scrollable body, and pagination
• GUI installer profile= keyword crash (profile_id= in antibot and emoji entry points)
• imvu.call.apply crash on IMVU’s old Gecko engine (direct imvu.call in antibot JS)
• Decompiled Python patches cleaned before inject (_clean_decompiled_source) to avoid IMVU crashes

Changed

• Shared installer framework (installer/profiles.py) parameterized for emoji and antibot builds
• build_installer.ps1 builds both installer executables
