Release v2.1.7 · m1thraz/SpectreHUD

Highlights

The structured Report Workspace is now the default report view, keeping the semantic
navigator, focused inspector, and live report preview together during authoring.
Contextual Markdown tools remain available where direct source editing is useful,
while Editor, Split, Preview, and Workspace modes continue to support different tasks.
Report Actions groups additive Loot synchronization and full regeneration in one
compact menu, reducing permanent toolbar noise without hiding destructive semantics.
Navigator selections now resolve to typed report locations and remain aligned with
the active inspector and highlighted preview destination.

A dedicated readiness inspector evaluates the report before handoff or export.
Actionable checks surface incomplete metadata, unresolved report content, and other
conditions that should be reviewed before delivery.
The assessment stays synchronized with the current workspace document and provides a
concise overall state instead of requiring a manual section-by-section audit.

Live synchronization status distinguishes new Loot, changed source entries, and
findings that currently exist only in the report.
Additive synchronization appends missing material without replacing unrelated report
edits or moving the current editing position.
Full regeneration remains an explicit, confirmed operation and saves pending editor
changes before replacing generated content.

Export, generation, and regeneration dialogs now inherit the active HUD theme instead
of falling back to an unstyled black surface.
Export cards retain format-specific accents while resolving their colors through theme
tokens across the built-in palettes.
Inspector headers, forms, tables, scroll surfaces, and section panels share a more
consistent visual hierarchy throughout the Report Workspace.

Restored drafts now refresh the navigator, inspectors, readiness state, and preview as
one coherent document state.
Metadata aliases are normalized so known fields do not reappear as duplicate custom
properties.
Report loading, saving, crash-draft recovery, regeneration, and additive Loot sync use
typed outcomes and preserve fail-closed behavior at their UI boundaries.

ReportEditorTab has been reduced from roughly 2,300 to about 1,200 lines and now acts
primarily as the workflow composition root.
Preview transformation, rendering, typography, semantic focus, and scroll coordination
live in dedicated preview modules and a ReportPreviewController.
Inspector routing, evidence attachment, the document-action toolbar, and workspace
construction are owned by focused components with explicit callback contracts.
Headless session and mutation services own report persistence, recovery, regeneration,
and additive synchronization outcomes without importing Qt.
Transitional widget aliases and mirrored preview state were removed. Tests now use the
public Report Editor workflow API or the component that owns the behavior, with an AST
architecture guard preventing renewed access to private tab state.

Python 3.10 through 3.13.
Existing valid SpectreHUD v2.1.6 projects, reports, templates, snippets, Loot,
Quick Notes, and settings remain supported.
Report section, finding, Loot-marker, export, Obsidian, and CherryTree formats remain
compatible; no project migration is required.
Windows remains the primary production platform. Linux X11 support is verified, while
Wayland behavior continues to depend on compositor security restrictions.
