Release v4.3.4 · MultihogAurelius/SillyTavern-MultihogDnDFramework

Changes since v4.2.1.

Performance

Faster page reload (F5) — Startup no longer blocks on full lorebook registry scans, duplicate chat-bootstrap work, or Campaign Records rendering while the Lorebook Agent panel is closed.
Faster Campaign Records — Routine manifest refreshes skip disk/registry rescans; manual ↻ refresh still does a full scan to discover new books. Lorebooks load in parallel; NPC inline editors build lazily on expand.
disableManagedEntries optimized — Uses saved campaign book lists where possible, avoids redundant API probes, and runs deferred in the background.

Last Run / Next run status — Footer shows when the agent last ran (relative time) and countdown to the next auto-run.
Since-last-run watermark fixes — Watermark persists per chat, handles swipes/stale indices, restores correctly on undo/redo, and resets auto-run throttle after manual passes.
[CORE] prompt tightening — Agent instructions now discourage plot-tied scene recaps in permanent NPC identity blocks.
World Skeleton isolation — Skeleton books are excluded from agent archive, tools, activation, and Campaign Records manifest.
Activate Books — Refreshes Campaign Records after activation so new books appear without F5.

Timer persistence overhaul — WP “last fired” state saves to chat-linked state, survives reloads, and no longer bleeds between chats.
Time math refactor — Label-based timer anchor, fixed epoch handling, conditional narrative injection.
UI fixes — “Next fire” display derives from the stored label; fallback parses current memo time when last fired is “Never”.
Reset Timeline — New button in the Lorebook Agent panel and Extension Settings to reset WP timer state for the current chat.

Show NPC Portraits toggle — When off, NPCs use the compact list view (like Events/Locations), NPC portrait auto-generation is disabled, and Add NPC to Story remains available.
Compact NPC view — CORE address-card button (left of name), relationship stats (🤝/💗) when Relationship System is enabled, live rel-stat updates without full manifest reload.
NPC detail popup — Removed “(Immutable)” from Core Identity section header.

LogQuest removed — Plain-text [QUESTS] blocks are now the only quest path; Standard/Tool quest mode dropped.
Quest state on rollback & chat switch — Clears per-chat quest bleed; settings.quests resyncs from memo on restore; memo is authoritative over stale completed entries in the UI.

Combat auto-switch — When [COMBAT] is active in the State Tracker memo, switches the main narration Connection Manager profile via /profile; restores baseline when combat ends.
Combat completion preset override — Combat auto-switch can restore a separate chat completion preset alongside the connection profile.

Character creator XP fix — [XP] block is always included with level-specific thresholds; onboarding level dropdown value is forwarded correctly for all archetypes (including Custom and Persona).
Onboarding prompt hints — Opening/closing tags enforced in hints to reduce unclosed block output from the model.
Renamed setting — “Enable RPG Tracker” → “Enable State Tracker” in settings and tooltips.

Fixed saveSettings reference error in narrative-hooks.js.
Fixed manifest refresh scoping issues when toggling NPC portrait mode.
Fixed settings toggle not reloading Campaign Records immediately (manifest refresh wiring).

If you use World Progression, timer state is now per-chat — switching chats should no longer carry “last fired” between scenarios. Use Reset Timeline if a chat’s WP clock looks wrong after upgrading.
If you relied on LogQuest / tool-based quests, migrate to plain-text [QUESTS] output in your narrator prompt.
After upgrading, a normal F5 should feel noticeably snappier; open the Lorebook Agent panel when you want Campaign Records to load.
