This page records public integration changes. It is not the player-facing mod changelog. The documentation and version table below were verified against AutoAnthony 0.3.42 for Slay the Spire 2 0.111.x.

Current version matrix

Each public surface has its own version. The mod version, API versions, and save schema are separate compatibility numbers.

Assembly	API	Version	Responsibility
ChaosCardGenerator	ComponentApi	3	Profiles, catalogs, composition, occurrence and value policies
ChaosCardGenerator	ComponentPackageApi	3	Atomic component-package registration
ChaosCardGenerator	ComponentLocalizationApi	2	Named localization templates bound to RuntimeSpec slots
ChaosCardGenerator	ComponentValuationApi	1	Custom opcode/variant valuation routes
ChaosCardGenerator	ComponentKeywordApi	1	Stable custom keyword definitions and generation rules
ChaosCardGenerator	CardTinkeringApi	3	Structured card persistence, valuation, validation, and rebuild
AutoAnthony	ExternalComponentCharacterApi	3	External character identity, definitions, runtime host, and Ancient relic bridge
AutoAnthony	ComponentPresentationApi	2	Atomic hover-tip route registration
AutoAnthony	ComponentRuntimeApi	1	Structured opcode execution routes
AutoAnthony	ComponentKeywordRuntimeApi	1	Custom keyword projection into cards and tips
AutoAnthony	ComponentRunSettingsApi	1	Local and host-authoritative generation settings
AutoAnthony	ComponentGenerationProgressApi	1	Shared card-pool generation overlay
AutoAnthony	ComponentTriggerApi	1	Safe player/card trigger dispatch and effective operation values
AutoAnthony	ComponentSurpriseApi	1	Generated-card knowledge and concealment queries
AutoAnthony	AutoAnthonySettingsApi	1	Read-only master/editor preference view

CardNameGenerator.RegisterExternalParts is also public in 0.3.32. It atomically registers reviewed Chinese and English name morphology for an external source catalog, but does not have a separate version constant.

AutoAnthony 0.3.42 — structured editing and shared composition

• Published CardTinkeringApi v3 for lossless structured-card serialization, production budget inspection, composition validation, and description/upgrade rebuilds.
• Published AutoAnthonySettingsApi v1 so a companion editor can honor the master switch and the user's outside-combat editing preference without reflection.
• Consolidated semantically identical built-in effects onto shared authoring components while preserving old character-prefixed aliases for supported snapshots.
• Standardized ordinary next-turn clauses as a trigger plus reusable payoff. Stateful delayed transactions remain atomic when they must capture a card, target, current value, or future choice.
• Unified selected-target and enemy-event Poison payoff through T:Poison; adapters should model target capability structurally rather than introducing wording-specific copies.

This release does not change ComponentApi.ApiVersion: the registration/profile contract remains v3. Consumers that use the new editor surfaces must check their own version constants and require AutoAnthony 0.3.42 or newer.

Built-in legacy Template spellings are migration inputs, not a public list to clone into new packages. Match reusable effects by RuntimeSpec schema and author against the current catalog IDs.

AutoAnthony 0.3.32 — external runtime integration

This release extends Component API v3 without changing the original four-argument ExternalComponentCharacterRegistration record.

• ExternalComponentCharacterApi is now v3. RegisterRuntime binds a profile to its fixed card-slot types, run-active predicate, and card pool.
• Persistent generated Powers can reconstruct an external character's concrete card model when their trigger fires after play, save/load, or reconnect.
• GetActiveCardPools lets vanilla cross-pool effects, including Colorful Philosophers, include active external generated pools without reflecting private AutoAnthony methods.
• ComponentRunSettingsApi exposes the complete local setting record and resolves the host-owned multiplayer carrier.
• ComponentGenerationProgressApi exposes the same loading overlay used by built-in generated pools.
• ComponentTriggerApi exposes guarded player/card trigger dispatch, captured X/dependency handling, and effective operation values.
• ComponentSurpriseApi exposes generated-card, known-card, and concealment queries.
• CardNameGenerator.RegisterExternalParts replaces reflection-based mutation of the internal name table.

Existing API-v2 external adapters that only use the original character registration remain binary compatible. To use the new services, declare AutoAnthony 0.3.32 or newer as the dependency; checking only ComponentApi.ApiVersion == 3 is insufficient because Component API v3 first shipped before these additive APIs.

Migration from an older external adapter

1. Keep the existing ExternalComponentCharacterRegistration call.
2. Add one ExternalComponentCharacterRuntimeRegistration after character registration and before any definitions are installed or read.
3. Replace reflection into settings, generation progress, trigger execution, Surprise Mode, and name tables with the public APIs above.
4. Generate definitions once on the host, synchronize the complete ordered list, and install it on every peer.
5. Keep the owning mod's snapshot/network fields; AutoAnthony does not create them for an external character.

AutoAnthony 0.3.10 — Component API v3

• Added stable custom keyword IDs, profile-local generation/upgrade permissions, and runtime keyword adapters.
• Added ComponentSemanticFlags for cross-cutting legality instead of inferring semantics from template names or localized prose.
• Added named localization templates and text slots bound directly to OperationRuntimeSpec values.
• Made package, presentation, and keyword registration atomic and expanded package validation.
• Moved new snapshots to structural upgrade effects and localization IDs; legacy bilingual labels remain migration inputs only.
• Unified all five built-in character catalogs and Colorless behind the same reviewed structured-catalog path.

AutoAnthony 0.3.8 — Component API v2

• Added recipe-preserving catalog composition and automatic weighted contribution to Ultimate Chaos.
• Added profile-local native keyword and keyword-upgrade policy.
• Added the optional external Ancient relic adapter for Archaic Tooth and Dusty Tome.
• Kept external profile identity separate from its borrowed built-in balance archetype.

AutoAnthony 0.3.7 — Component API v1

The first public release established structured component catalogs, independent occurrence/value policies, custom runtime and presentation routes, component multiplicity, external fixed card slots, and run-scoped definition installation.

Compatibility checklist

• Check every API your adapter actually calls; do not rely on one umbrella number.
• Register packages and external hosts during mod initialization, before the first profile resolution, definition install, or operation execution freezes the corresponding registry.
• Use stable ASCII package/profile/opcode/variant/slot IDs and never derive behavior from localized text.
• Treat snapshot schema separately from API version. Current snapshots use schema 10; live schema 5-9 runs migrate card-by-card, while schema 1-4 remains history-readable only.
• Preserve old structured routes needed by supported saves, and synchronize host definitions instead of regenerating independently on clients.
