STATUS: Deployed

VERSION: 0.0.10

🛠️ Rebuilding & Expanding

This update focuses on restoring codebase stability, resolving redundant logic that disrupted core workflows, and implementing a robust, fair "Global Discovery" feed to promote all creators equally.

🔨 Infrastructure & Stability Repairs

Feature / Optimization	Engineering Impact
App.tsx Restoration & Cleanup	Successfully restored the master App.tsx file following a critical script truncation. Audited and removed duplicate equipPlaySet logic. Blueprint deployment now reliably targets the correct mods_path without silently failing. Removed overlapping massIngestToCloud declarations, restoring full functionality to the "Upload Unknowns" Quick Action and properly triggering the mass sync UI.
Rust Backend (main.rs)	Resolved tauri::generate_handler! macro delimiter errors that were preventing the app from compiling. Successfully re-integrated and compiled the auto_detect_paths command, allowing dynamic resolution of local Game/Mod directories on first boot.
Mason Profile Navigation	Added mandatory null-checks to handleOpenMasonProfile. The app now intercepts invalid routing attempts from the Comm-Link rather than rendering a broken, blank page.

📡 The Comm-Link Revamp (Global Discovery)

Feature / Optimization	Engineering Impact
Level Playing Field	Overhauled GlobalFeed.tsx to act as a chronological "Latest Network Activity" ledger. It displays raw, unbiased updates from all verified Masons without algorithmic interference.
Real-time Search	Implemented a dynamic search bar, allowing users to filter the global feed by Mason name, Transmission Title, or Transmission Content.
Seamless Navigation UX	Clicking a Mason's name on a transmission card instantly routes to their dedicated Mason Profile. Clicking "View Post" (or the card body) opens the transmission in a seamless inline Pop-Up overlay directly over the feed—no longer bouncing users out of the Comm-Link. Added the Mason's linked name to the top of the Post Pop-Up, providing context and an easy pathway back to their profile.

🌍 Lexicon & Iconography Standardization

Feature / Optimization	Engineering Impact
Radar Icon Overhaul	Replaced the Conflict Radar and Radar Sweep iconography (ui_icon_radar) from the Antenna (📡) to the Satellite (🛰️) across all lexicons to prevent visual collisions with the new Comm-Link identity.
Comm-Link Extraction	Migrated all static strings from the newly revamped Comm-Link into the translation dictionaries (en-default.json and en-sanctuary.json), including: "mason_feed_subtitle": "LATEST NETWORK ACTIVITY" "mason_search_placeholder": "Search transmissions..." "mason_post_by": "By" "mason_btn_close_post": "Close Transmission"
