Release V2.14

2026-09-12

• Canonical Version Bump to 2.14 (TAC/lua/triune.lua, README.md, tests/test_pure_logic.lua).

  • Bumped canonical suite version to 2.14 across TAC/lua/triune.lua and README.md.
  • Updated test assertions across Suites 77, 78, 79, and 81 in tests/test_pure_logic.lua (2,432 tests passing).

• Release Archive Packaging at Archive Root (.github/workflows/release.yml, README.md).

  • Flatten Archive Directory Structure: Changed git archive packaging in .github/workflows/release.yml to target tree HEAD:TAC instead of repository root paths, placing lua/, config/, and resources/ directly at the root of TriuneAutocombat-full.zip and TriuneAutocombat-Update.zip.
  • Root Documentation Inclusion: Included README.md and CHANGELOG.md at the root of the generated release archives using --add-file.
  • Purged Deprecated Bridge Paths: Removed deleted bridge scripts (TAC/triune_llm_bridge.py, start_bridge.*) from the release archive file list, resolving CI archive generation failures.
  • Updated Installation & Update Instructions: Updated release notes and README.md Quick Start instructions to direct users to extract the archive directly into the MacroQuest folder without navigating or dragging out of a subfolder.

• Auto AA Minimum 5 AA Bank Slider & Auto-Purchase Reliability (TAC/lua/triune.lua, tests/test_pure_logic.lua).

  • Enforce 5 AA Minimum on Bank Slider: Updated the Auto AA bank reserve slider in UI.drawAutoAATab (##autoAaThresh) to enforce a minimum of 5 AA (range 5 to 100), updated tooltips accordingly, and sanitized ctrl.auto_spend_aa_threshold to a minimum of 5, preventing rapid continuous re-evaluation that caused micro-pauses in the main script loop.
  • Early Low-Point Evaluation Bypass (checkAutoSpendAA): Added an early check (if unspent < 5 then return false end) to immediately exit evaluation when points are below 5, eliminating unnecessary AA window querying and evaluation pauses.
  • Multi-Character Repeatable Spender Reliability (Alternately Advanced Fireworks): Resolved an issue where Alternately Advanced Fireworks auto-spent on one character but stalled on another by whitelisting Special tab abilities (runtime.isSpecialTabAA) and ctrl.auto_spend_aa_name from cross-class stub rejection in isAAAllowedForPlayer, assigning synthetic maxRank = 1 in recordScannedAA, and persisting Special tab abilities once discovered.
  • Window Trainer Substring Matching Safety: Removed dangerous substring overmatching in findAAInWindowLists (cleanTarget:find(cleanRow)), preventing unintended shorter abilities from incorrectly intercepting selection of longer target abilities.
  • Class AA Tab Routing: Added class abbreviation detection and ability database cross-referencing in startAATrainWorkflow to route Class-specific AAs directly to Tab 3 (Class) rather than falling back to Tab 1 (General).
  • Search Box Filter Cleanup: Added automatic clearance of leftover in-game search filter text in AAW_SearchBox during window preparation to prevent search filter interference during list selection.
  • Added Unit Test Suite 84: Added comprehensive tests in tests/test_pure_logic.lua validating the 5 AA minimum slider, low-point evaluation gating, Special tab repeatability, and safe window list matching (2,447 tests passing).

• Remove Popout Character Stats, Inventory & Currency Window (TAC/lua/triune.lua, README.md, tests/test_pure_logic.lua).

  • Eliminated Popout Character Window (TriuneCharacterWindow): Removed the embedded Character Stats, Inventory & Currency popout window and its rendering routine UI.drawCharacterWindow(), streamlining the main engine codebase while preserving the dedicated standalone triune_inv.lua module.
  • Removed Associated Configuration & State: Purged character window configuration keys (show_character_window, char_lock, char_alpha, char_show_zerocur, char_alt_filter, char_slots_per_row) from defaultCtrl, and removed transient cache fields (cachedInvStats, statSyncRequested) from runtime.
  • Removed Toolbar Buttons & Commands: Removed the Character button from the main header toolbar, the Char button from the Compact Mini-Window toolbar, window manager entry (character), and the /ac char slash command and help documentation.
  • Pruned Redundant Background Loops: Eliminated background equipment changes polling (runtime.checkWornItemsChanged), inventory stats window scraping (runtime.scanStatsFromInventoryWindow), and the pending currency action loop from the main combat coroutine.
  • Preserved Shared Vector Primitives: Retained UI.col32 and UI.toVec vector drawing primitives required by the Popout Spellbook and Popout Spell Gem Bar windows.
  • Canonical Version Bump: Bumped version to 2.13 across TAC/lua/triune.lua, README.md, and test suites (2,438 pure logic tests passing).

• Hours Formatting for Effects & Songs Popout Window and Buff/Ability Timers (TAC/lua/triune.lua, tests/test_pure_logic.lua).

  • Updated fmtSec to format durations of 3600 seconds or greater using hours and minutes (e.g. 45h, 45h 5m, 1h 30m, 1h), preventing long-duration buffs, GM auras, and potion effects from cluttering progress bars and hover tooltips with unwieldy minute counts like 2700m.
  • Added unit test coverage in tests/test_pure_logic.lua across both the fmtSec core logic suite and Suite 77 (Popout Effects & Songs Window) validating exact hour/minute formatting and long duration buff edge cases.

• Fix Spell Recast Timer Countdown in Popout Spell Gem Bar (TAC/lua/triune.lua, tests/test_pure_logic.lua).

  • Smooth Real-Time Recast Interpolation: Fixed a bug where math.abs((nowClock + querySec) - endAt) > 1.2 repeatedly re-anchored runtime.gemCooldownEnd against static or 6-second discrete tick query values, causing the recast countdown to freeze and continuously display the initial recast delay instead of counting down.
  • Cast Completion & GCD Alignment: Recast countdowns are now primed during active casting and begin immediately upon cast completion. While cooling down (rem > 0), the timer decrements continuously frame-by-frame (10 -> 9 -> ... -> 1 -> 0) without periodic mid-cooldown resets.
  • Gem Swap & Memorization Invalidation (runtime.gemCooldownSpell): Tracks the scribed spell name for each slot, immediately invalidating stale cooldown anchors if a gem is memorized with a different spell.
  • Enhanced Query Parser & Overlay Formatting: Upgraded UI.getGemCooldownSec to leverage parseDurationSec and proper MQ property extraction, and added hours support (%dh) to gem button overlay text for extreme recast abilities.
  • Automated Verification: Added discrete tick anti-freeze and continuous countdown simulation assertions to Suite 79 in tests/test_pure_logic.lua (2,496 tests passing).
  • Static Analysis Fixes: Fixed undefined isCastingThis variable scoping within the gem cooldown calculation block and removed redundant timer = 0 reassignments, achieving 0 warnings across all files in Luacheck.

• CI Test Suite & Satellite Theme Check Updates (tests/test_pure_logic.lua, tests/check_theme_consistency.sh).

  • Guarded Quest Database File Loading: Updated Suite 57 in tests/test_pure_logic.lua to only assert and load quest catalog, expansion, and zone data files when present on disk, resolving unit test failures following the removal of TAC/resources/triune_quest/.
  • Updated Theme Consistency Canonical & Satellites: Set triune_cursor.lua as the canonical satellite module and pruned deleted modules (triune_buttons.lua, triune_test.lua) from tests/check_theme_consistency.sh, bringing the theme consistency check to 100% passing.
