Release - Read to use beta version

A major update bringing a modular architecture, canvas-based chat, webcam support, and a cleaner config system.

Highlights

🧩 Module Discovery System — Modules now live in their own directories with info.json manifests. Drop a folder into www/modules/ to add custom modules.

💬 Canvas-Based Chat — Chat completely rewritten to render directly to canvas. Supports linear gradients (multiple layers), text-shadow, drop-shadow, borders, fit-content width, and right-alignment.

📷 Webcam Module — New module for live camera feeds. Supports device selection, mirror, circle/rounded masks. Works with virtual cameras like XSplit VCam.

🎬 Scene System Overhaul — Draw order now follows config order. Multi-instance support for images and videos. Custom IDs preserved on save.

What's New

Modules

• New webcam module with device picker and mask options
• Modules restructured into www/modules/{name}/ directories
• modules.json manifest maps module names to their info files
• info.json defines metadata, settings schema, and entrypoint
• allowMultiple flag controls whether duplicates are allowed per scene

Editor

• Dynamic palette built from module discovery (no hardcoded items)
• Scene duplication (⧉ button)
• Scene rename via double-click
• Live chat preview with 💬 test message and 🗑 clear buttons
• Image modules now render in Play All mode
• WebSocket Admin tool (📡) for sending raw messages to overlay
• Layer names simplified to icon + ID
• Custom module IDs saved correctly to config

Chat

• Full canvas rewrite — no DOM elements
• Multiple stacked linear-gradient backgrounds
• text-shadow and drop-shadow (filter) support
• font-size, border-width, fit-content width, right-alignment
• localStorage message persistence
• Removed: split/separated chat mode, chat.css

Config

• All _type / _item_type metadata moved to module info.json schema fields
• Config is now pure data — no metadata keys
• Build uses config.example.js as release config (no personal data leaks)
• Build reads version from package.json (no more hardcoded override)

Installer

• Preserves www/media/ and www/config.js during updates/reinstalls
• PATH manipulation retained for CLI access

Fixes

• Removed debug logging from audio visualiser and media panel
• Fixed scene tab double-click rename (click/dblclick conflict)
• Fixed draw order (scene config order = z-order)
• OBS URL always includes ?allowaudio=true
• Electron camera permissions auto-granted
• --disable-features=MediaFoundationVideoCapture for shared virtual camera access

Upgrade Notes

• If upgrading from v1.2.x, your existing config.js will work — the system falls back to _type in config if no schema is found in info.json
• The www/modules/ directory structure has changed — old flat .js files are now in subdirectories
• chat.css has been removed (chat is fully canvas-based now)
