Full Changelog Previous Releases

• feat: precompute a global warband assignment instead of per-hover recomputation (#3)
  Replaces the per-tooltip-hover recomputation with a precomputed, lazily
  refreshed global assignment engine. One pass over the whole warband settles,
  per character and equipment slot, which item they should end up with -
  letting a spare in one alt's bag cascade down to a lower-priority alt -
  instead of asking "is this hovered item an upgrade?" from scratch every time.
  • Assignment.lua: the new engine. Every item falls into one of three
    buckets (equipped = permanent floor, unsendable spare = floor, sendable
    spare = movable pool); settling a (slot-class, target equip location)
    pair is lazy and memoized per generation, so hovering many items of the
    same slot-class only pays for it once. A dirty flag + debounced
    out-of-combat background recompute keeps the engine warm, with hovering a
    tooltip as the guaranteed synchronous fallback.
  • Tooltip.lua: lifecycle + GameTooltip hook, now with a "sell it" line for
    items confirmed to be an upgrade for nobody.
  • Characters.lua: warband enumeration/eligibility, now memoized per
    (character, classID, subclassID) instead of per item. Character priority
    ordering moved to a standalone, swappable comparator
    (CharacterPriorityComparator) as a marked extension point for a future
    alternate ordering - only the existing default is implemented.
  • Data.lua / Pawn.lua: item taxonomy and Pawn integration, relocated with
    unchanged bodies.
  • HandMeDowns.lua: trimmed to bootstrap + shared Util.
  • HandMeDowns.toc, README.md, docs/DATA_SOURCES.md: updated load order and
    behavior description; weapon/spec data and Pawn integration facts
    untouched.
