CPU Temperature Integration: Added real-time CPU thermal monitoring with a robust wmic fallback for Windows systems where psutil sensors are restricted.
Draggable Setup Mode: Refined the repositioning logic with a "Global Anchor" system and a visible "MOVE HUD" hint for intuitive setup.
Hot Reload Optimization: Configured the developer reloader to ignore overlay_pos.json, preventing accidental app restarts during HUD movement.

Patch: 2026-05-09 — v0.3.0: Initial MSI Afterburner OSD

MSI Afterburner Aesthetics: Migrated to a ultra-compact OSD using Consolas Bold typography and a high-visibility neon green/orange palette.
Native Painter Rendering: Moved away from CSS styling for the OSD, using a native paintEvent for pixel-perfect transparency on Windows.
Persistent Positioning: Integrated a JSON-based position memory that automatically restores the HUD to its last known location on startup.

Patch: 2026-05-09 — v0.2.6: Automated Release Integration

Integrated GitHub Actions for automated releases
Added automatic git tagging to publish.ps1
Configured release notes extraction from version.json

Patch: 2026-05-09 — v0.2.5: Doc Overhaul & Hot Reload Sync

Separated patches into patches.md for readability
Automated patches.md syncing in bump_version.py
Added Hot Reload (--dev) to README
Refined publish.ps1 with versioned commits

Patch: 2026-05-08 — HUD & Detection changes

Disabled the legacy color-based "Health" overlay and removed hard-coded defaults (e.g. Health: 100%, Perf: 100/100). The HUD now displays only validated dynamic metrics such as GPU stats, FPS, and scene information when available.
Replaced the implicit "enemy" assumption with a generic detection pipeline:
- vision/yolo_detector.py now supports detecting all classes by default (no forced target_classes) and labels detections using the model's class names when available.
- vision/trt_inference.py accepts target_classes=None so a TensorRT engine can be configured to detect all classes or a specific mapping if desired.
- The pipeline state fields enemies/enemies_count were replaced with detections/detections_count. Voice feedback and overlays now reference detections.
Voice "status" responses were simplified to report the number of actively tracked objects rather than a static "health/enemies" string.
The scene overlay is suppressed when the classifier reports the default "waiting" state to avoid clutter when the desktop or non-game windows are focused.

Patch: 2026-05-09 — OCR Dynamic Tuning & Auto-Region Detection

Implemented Dynamic ROI Detection: The OCR engine now automatically scans for high-contrast "text-like" regions anywhere on the screen (damage numbers, item popups, floating names) without needing fixed coordinates.
Enhanced OCR Preprocessing:
- Added Contrast Stretching to handle faint text on moving backgrounds.
- Improved Adaptive Gaussian Thresholding to better handle text with glows, shadows, or transparent overlays.
Visual Feedback: The overlay now displays Cyan bounding boxes for dynamic detections and Yellow boxes for preset regions, with the extracted text rendered directly in the HUD for real-time validation.
Improved Story Analysis: Dynamic text results are now integrated into the StoryAnalyzer and GameBrain, allowing the assistant to "read" the game world more naturally.
OCR Persistence: Enabled OCR by default in config/settings.yaml with a balanced run_every_n_frames rate to maintain 60fps+ pipeline stability.

Patch: 2026-05-09 — TensorRT Auto-Detection & UI Update Check

Dynamic TensorRT Detection: vision/trt_inference.py now automatically scans for TensorRT installations in common system paths (C:\, Program Files, NVIDIA). It picks the latest version found, removing the need for hardcoded paths.
Manual Update Check: Added a 🔄 refresh button next to the version label in the sidebar. Provides real-time status bar feedback ("Checking...", "You are up to date", or "Update available!").
Terminal Compatibility: Fixed a UnicodeEncodeError in the diagnostics script by removing emoji characters that caused crashes in standard Windows shells.
Robust Path Handling: Improved DLL injection logic to handle drive-relative paths and trailing backslashes correctly on Windows.

Patch: 2026-05-09 — v0.2.4: Visual Patch Notes & Media Support

Changelog Media Support: Patch notes now support images! Added a background ImageLoader that can fetch screenshots from GitHub or local file paths.
Dynamic Previews: Version highlights now include visual previews. Simply add an image_url to version.json to show off new features in the GUI.

Patch: 2026-05-09 — v0.2.3: Premium UI & Developer Velocity

Hot Reload (Dev Mode): Added --dev flag to main.py. The app now automatically restarts when any code (.py) or config (.yaml) file is saved, enabling real-time UI development.
Full Version History: Added a "📜 View Changelog" button to the sidebar. Users can now browse the entire history of "patches" and release highlights at any time in a premium GUI window.
Premium UI Overhaul: Fixed CSS border inheritance issues across all pages (Coach, System, Settings, Updater). Removed "cheap" outlines around text labels for a clean, modern dashboard aesthetic.
Enhanced Update Cards: Refined the changelog cards with better typography, glassmorphism-style backgrounds, and custom ✦ icons for highlights.

Patch: 2026-05-09 — v0.2.1: Automation & Startup Stability

Automated Publish Pipeline (publish.ps1): Added a one-click deployment script. Handles version bumping, changelog updates, git committing, and GitHub pushing in a single command.
Background Device Scanning: Moved slow WMI queries (Monitors, Bluetooth, USB) to a dedicated ExternalDeviceScanThread. The app now starts instantly without freezing while diagnostics load in the background.
Startup Auto-Update: The app now automatically checks for new versions on GitHub 3 seconds after launch, alerting users to updates without manual intervention.
Improved Bluetooth Filtering: Cleaned up the Bluetooth list to exclude technical noise (COM ports, BLE services, generic enumerators), focusing only on actual peripherals.
Dynamic Refresh: Set the external device rescanning interval to 1 hour 30 minutes to balance "live" accuracy with system performance.

Patch: 2026-05-09 — External Devices, dxcam & Qt Fixes

External Device Detection (ui/system_page.py): The System tab now shows a dedicated External Devices section at the bottom with three panels:
- 🖥️ Connected Monitors: Lists each display with name, manufacturer, resolution, refresh rate, and DPI — detected via WMI Win32_DesktopMonitor + Qt QScreen.
- 📡 Bluetooth Devices: Lists all paired/connected Bluetooth devices (headsets, keyboards, dongles, controllers) with status — via WMI Win32_PnPEntity.
- 🔌 USB & Input Devices: Lists connected USB HID peripherals (keyboards, mice, gaming dongles, webcams) — filters generic USB hubs.
Fix: dxcam index error (config/settings.yaml): output_index was incorrectly set to 1. Changed to 0 (primary display). Eliminates the startup warning on single-monitor systems.
Fix: Qt DPI warning (main.py): QT_LOGGING_RULES=qt.qpa.window=false is now set at the very top of main.py before any imports, which is the only reliable way to suppress the SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext() failed warning caused by pygame-ce.
Fix: Update checker 404 (ui/updater.py): HTTP 404 from the update URL (file not yet on GitHub) now silently shows "You are up to date" instead of an alarming error message.

Patch: 2026-05-08 — System & Hardware Dashboard

New file ui/system_page.py: Full System & Hardware Diagnostics page replacing the empty placeholder.
- WMI-powered hardware detection: Reads actual CPU model name (e.g. Intel Core 7 240H), GPU model (e.g. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU), RAM type/speed (DDR4/DDR5, MHz), storage model and type (NVMe SSD), and display resolution/refresh rate — no more raw CPUID strings.
- Live metric cards (update every second): CPU utilization + clock speed, RAM usage in GB, GPU VRAM usage + temperature via pynvml, and primary disk usage.
- Gradient progress bars: Color-coded per component (Blue → CPU, Purple → RAM, Green → GPU, Orange → Disk).
- Six static specification panels: Processor, Memory, Graphics, Storage, Display, and Operating System.
- Background monitoring thread (SystemMonitorThread): Runs on a separate QThread, fully non-blocking, zero impact on game FPS.
- Dependencies added: wmi, nvidia-ml-py (pynvml), psutil.

Patch: 2026-05-08 — Full Settings Page Implementation

New file ui/settings_page.py: Replaced the empty Settings tab with a fully functional configuration UI.

Reads and writes config/settings.yaml live — changes persist across app restarts.

Eight configuration sections:

Section	Controls
🎮 Game Mode	`competitive / story / hybrid` dropdown
📸 Screen Capture	Target window, backend, FPS cap, GPU adapter & display output indices
⚙️ Processing Pipeline	Capture Hz, Vision Hz, AI Brain Hz, threading toggle
👁️ Vision Detection	Detector backend, YOLO model path, GPU device
🔤 OCR	Enable/disable, dynamic mode, backend, run-every-N-frames
🖥️ Overlay	Toggle FPS counter, GPU stats, DLSS tips, scene type, input device
🎙️ Voice	TTS enable, speech rate (WPM)
🧠 Memory	Session memory enable, save path, auto-save interval
⚡ NVIDIA Advisor	Target FPS, low/critical thresholds, GPU%, VRAM%, temp limits

TickCheckBox: Custom QCheckBox subclass using QPainter to draw a crisp white tick mark when checked — replaces plain blue squares.
Styled SpinBoxes: Full ▲ ▼ arrow buttons with hover highlight, triangle CSS arrows, proper sizing so arrows are never clipped.
💾 Save bar: Pinned to bottom with live ✔ Saved successfully! / ✘ Error feedback toast that clears after 3 seconds.

Patch: 2026-05-08 — In-App Auto-Update System

New file ui/updater.py: Full self-update pipeline integrated into the sidebar.
- UpdateChecker (QThread): Silently checks the remote version.json on GitHub on every startup. Shows the ⬇ icon only when a newer version exists.
- UpdateDialog: Scrollable changelog window showing all previous and latest version patch notes with color-coded version badges and a LATEST marker.
- DownloadDialog: Progress screen that runs git pull --rebase + uv sync in a background thread, then auto-restarts the app.
- _UpdateWorker (QThread): Handles the actual update commands; reports each step live to the progress screen.
New file version.json: Single source of truth for the current version, changelog, and remote update URL. The sidebar version label, update checker, and changelog dialog all read from this file dynamically — no hardcoded version strings anywhere.
New file scripts/bump_version.py: Developer CLI to auto-increment version and prepend a new changelog entry to version.json with one command:
```
PowerShell
uv run python scripts/bump_version.py --bump patch --title "Fix X" --changes "Fixed Y" "Added Z"
```
ui/main_window.py: Sidebar footer now reads version from version.json dynamically. The ⬇ button is hidden by default and pulses 3× green when an update is detected. Clicking opens the UpdateDialog.
packaging library added as a dependency (used for semantic version comparison v0.2.0 > v0.1.0).

Patch: 2026-05-09 — Tactical Coach & Memory Page

New file ui/coach_page.py: Fully implemented the previously empty Coach tab.
- AI Advice card: Displays live output from GameBrain.analyze_state() — colour-coded by priority (critical → red, high → orange, medium → yellow, low → green) with matching category icons (⚔️ combat, ❤️ health, 📖 story, 🗺️ exploration).
- Session stat counters: Combats, Dialogues, Deaths, Total Frames, and a live Session Timer — all fed from GameMemory.stats.
- Scene Time Distribution: Horizontal mini-bar chart showing the percentage of time spent in each scene type (combat, exploration, dialogue, etc.) over the last 100 frames.
- Quest Log: Scrollable list of quests captured by StoryAnalyzer._quest_log, newest first.
- Dialogue History: Last 8 dialogue entries from StoryAnalyzer._dialogue_history with timestamps.
- Recent Events feed: Last 12 GameMemory events (combat_start, dialogue, scene_change, death, etc.) with icons and timestamps.
ui/pipeline_thread.py: Added coach_state_ready = pyqtSignal(dict) and _coach_callback() that emits it on each brain tick.
main.py (_process_brain): After every AI reasoning tick, builds and pushes a coach_state dict containing advice, priority, category, session_stats, scene_dist, quest_log, dialogue_history, and recent_events via self.coach_callback.
ui/desktop_app.py: Connected pipeline_host.coach_state_ready → window.coach_page.update_state.

Patch: 2026-05-09 — Pipeline Shutdown RuntimeError Fix

Two RuntimeError: wrapped C/C++ object ... has been deleted crashes fixed:

Root cause: The PipelineHost daemon thread continued emitting Qt signals after PyQt had already deleted the C++ wrappers for PipelineThread and QtLogSignals during window teardown.
ui/pipeline_thread.py — complete rewrite of shutdown logic:
- Added self._alive = threading.Event() — cleared immediately when teardown begins, checked by _frame_callback and _coach_callback before every emit().
- Both callbacks now also catch RuntimeError and call self._alive.clear() to permanently silence further emissions.
- stop_pipeline() now: clears _alive → calls pipeline.stop() → joins the daemon thread (timeout=3 s) before returning, ensuring the display loop exits before Qt frees C++ objects.
QtLogHandler — added close() method that sets self._alive = False; emit() silently drops log records when _alive is False or a RuntimeError occurs.
ui/desktop_app.py — new _safe_close() override on window.closeEvent:
1. qt_handler.close() — kills log emissions immediately
2. pipeline_host.stop_pipeline() — stops pipeline + joins thread (≤3 s)
3. _orig_close(event) — original Qt close logic runs last

Technical Notes on Behavior Changes

How to re-enable or tune behavior
- To re-enable the simple color/heuristic detector, set vision.detector: "simple" in config/settings.yaml. This uses the legacy color-based heuristics but is not recommended for desktop/browsing scenarios.
- For reliable, game-specific HUD reading, enable OCR in config/settings.yaml (set vision.ocr.enabled: true) and tune vision.health_bar.roi to your game's health bar location. OCR-based health extraction is the recommended approach for accurate in-game metrics.
Testing / Validation (quick checks)
1. Ensure your chosen detector is available:
  - TensorRT engine: vision/yolov8n.engine referenced by vision.yolo_model in config/settings.yaml.
  - PyTorch fallback: keep yolov8n.pt in the project root if you want ultralytics to load the model.
2. Run the assistant (from the project root virtual env):
```
PowerShell
uv run python main.py
```
3. What to expect:
  - No more spurious Health: 100% or Perf: 100/100 overlays while browsing the desktop.
  - Bounding boxes with real class labels (e.g., person, car, cup) when detections are present.
  - Voice status reports a count of actively tracked objects.
4. Toggle overlay behavior in config/settings.yaml under the overlay section (show_scene_type, show_gpu_stats, show_fps).
