Heya - cool project! Unfortunately, there's no source code available, which is a violation of the AGPL. Your plugin is required to follow this as a result of Dalamud's license. From Section 6:

  1. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
in one of these ways:

Furthermore, you seem to be attempting to block reverse engineering or decompiling of this plugin by obfuscating it:

Allow me to quote myself from three weeks ago:

You hurt the ecosystem by not allowing people to benefit or contribute to your source code, and people lose the ability to review your source code or build it themselves. It is completely impossible to trust what is on your machine, even moreso when you refrain from publishing the source. Proprietary applications also do not stop modders from changing the functionality of your code, as clearly shown by us as a community modding FINAL FANTASY XIV.

I won't accuse you of anything, but obfuscation of an innocent rewrite of a plugin is sketchy. I suggest you not do this and publish the source code at your earliest convenience. Issues were disabled on this repository, so I had to do a bit of a workaround to send this message (no I'm not joining your Discord server).

Thanks!
