[1.0.3] - 2026-04-26

⚠ Testing status — client-side only. Every 1.0.3 feature in this changelog was exercised from a non-host (client) install. A subset of the new diagnostics can only do real work when the install is on the Master Client — specifically:

• OnRemoteRpcEvent Hashtable unpack (capturing real client-side RPC senders after Master relay)
• Master-side Instantiate requester correlation (SuspectedRequesterActor/Name/Rpc)
• PhotonView Ownership audit (EventCode 210/211/215)
• Actor×Method hotspot detector

These Master-only paths compile cleanly and self-check, but have not yet been validated in an actual hosted session. Expect potential edge-case bugs there until a host-side capture is recorded. Client-side features (FPS / RPC monitor / Instantiate rate / FieldProbe etc.) are unaffected.

Quiet-by-default

• EnablePluginProfiling / EnablePatchProfiling default changed to false — profilers are opt-in now
• LogVerbosity default changed to Minimal — text logs only carry abuse alerts; CSV/JSONL still capture everything
• Fix: abuse alerts now bypass the verbosity filter, so Minimal = "alerts only, but definitely alerts"
• Fix: removed orphan continuation lines when a report header was filtered but its follow-up lines weren't

New features

• Structured logging: whysolaggy_data.csv (58 cols) + whysolaggy_events.jsonl, auto-rotated at MaxLogFileSizeMB
• Startup Harmony conflict scan: harmony_patches.csv + alerts when the same method is patched by multiple mods
• Opt-in method stack tracer ([MethodTracer]): name methods, get filtered call stacks per hit
• FieldProbe: JSON-driven reflective snapshots of any field / parameter / return value at any method
• On-screen dashboard (opt-in): live FPS, frame time, GC KB/s, watched-RPC summary, last abuse alert
• GC allocation rate + Photon ping are attached to FPS / periodic reports
• InstantiateTrace: every PhotonNetwork.Instantiate captures a filtered caller stack (3 samples per prefab + 1 per 5s window, auto-forced on flood) — finally answers "which script / mod is spawning this?"
• Watched-method library expanded from 27 to 65+ RPC names across feeding / healing / status / death / revive / grab-kick-carry / inventory / prefab spawn / end-game / ownership / tornado / campfire
• Master-side Relay Diagnostics (beta, Master-only): RemoteRpcTrace unpacks EventCode=200 Hashtable to recover the real client sender; Instantiate rows gain SuspectedRequesterActor/Name/Rpc/AgeMs; OwnershipChange decodes EventCode 210/211/215; OwnershipGrab and ActorMethodHotspot alarms layer on top

Performance & robustness

• PatchProfiler throttling via MinReportMs — ~70–90% lower self-overhead on busy scenes
• IgnorePluginGuids / IgnorePatchMethods / ExtraWatchMethods config keys
• RPC hot path moved fully to main-thread pump (ConcurrentQueue + PumpBatchSize)
• Lower GC pressure across all periodic report paths; better exception reporting; null-safe patch hooks

Docs

• README: new Real-world case section with redacted dual-client lantern lit-sync + warmth diagnostics, pulled straight from a live session ([LitSync] / [HuddleWarmth] / [FuelMath] / [WARMTH_LOG] / BugleRestore)
• README: reworked How to analyse the logs into a tag-first workflow — grep/jq by tag now recommended, CSV pivot second, AI third (with "curate the slice first" recipe), plain-text reading fourth
• README: added six copy-paste commands (3 PowerShell Select-String, 3 jq) covering abuse alerts, lit-sync, failed warmth ticks, top RPC senders, FieldProbe hits, frame spikes

Upgrade note: BepInEx only applies new defaults to missing keys. Delete com.wuyachiyu.WhySoLaggy.cfg or flip the three keys manually to pick up the quieter defaults.

[1.0.2] - 2026-04-23

• Full RPC monitor hooks PhotonNetwork.ExecuteRpc; counts calls, senders and payload bytes
• Feeding-chain tracing: SendFeedDataRPC → RemoveFeedDataRPC → GetFedItemRPC → Consume
• 27 watched high-risk methods record sender / target / parsed args / payload size
• Per-method 32-entry ring buffer so floods can't drown out rare events
• Abuse alerts now include the current top RPC methods
• Hot path <500ns per RPC, no allocs, no locks

[1.0.1] - 2026-04-20

• Room-bombing detection now correctly identifies the remote suspect
• Real-time on-screen alert banner (auto-fades after 12s), auto EN/中 based on system locale
• Fixed wrong attribution to the local player; fixed a thread-safety crash

[1.0.0] - 2026-04-07

• Initial release: FPS tracker, plugin / patch profilers, room-bombing detection, dual text logs
