    - Gizmod registration now advertises alpha-audit / alpha-reconcile / relation-reapply-hardening capabilities.
    - Stored diagnostics now keep last audit and last repair results for tester reports.

Version: 0.3.4
Date: 2026-06-05
  Bugfixes:
    - Q close now closes/cancels the active GZ-Diplomacy surface without immediately reopening the welcome window.
    - Bumped storage and Gizmod registration versions to 0.3.4.

Version: 0.3.3
Date: 2026-06-05
  Bugfixes:
    - Restored live Preparation status label updates after tab switching or leaving/reopening the Preparation tab.
    - Kept the static Welcome tab non-live and scroll-safe while allowing the non-scrolling Preparation tab to tick its activity ellipses/countdown text.
  Notes:
    - Top-left launcher/button consolidation belongs in the GIZMOD/core launcher pass; GZ-Diplomacy does not own the shared GZ/D/E button strip.

Version: 0.3.2
Date: 2026-06-05
  Changes:
    - Alpha pass 2/4: split the standalone window into Welcome, Preparation, and Diplomacy tabs.
    - Moved live spawn-buffer controls and queue status into a dedicated non-scrolling Preparation tab.
    - Reworked Welcome into a static explanation tab so scrolling is safe and cannot fight live refreshes.
    - Kept the Diplomacy tab as the team-state management surface.
    - Updated the Gizmod hub panel to use the operational Preparation panel rather than the static Welcome tab.
    - Tightened the standalone window budget around the 1366x768 layout target.

Version: 0.3.1
Date: 2026-06-05
  Changes:
    - Alpha pass 1/4: centralized team membership operations for create/join/leave/switch.
    - Enforced one-team-per-player membership cleanup when joining, leaving, switching, or removing players.
    - Added Leave Team and Switch Team flow to the Welcome tab for assigned players.
    - Updated direct team join to route through the centralized membership API and return failed joins to the origin DMZ.
    - Updated /gzd-reset-me and player removal cleanup to use the centralized membership path.

Version: 0.3.0
Date: 2026-06-05
  Changes:
    - Began the alpha interaction pass version line for functional diplomacy controls.
    - Bumped mod package, storage schema version marker, and Gizmod registration version to 0.3.0.
    - Kept the verified 0.2.33 hex-floor material mapping as the baseline for this pass.

Version: 0.2.33
Date: 2026-06-05
  Changes:
    - Corrected the origin DMZ hex floor material mapping for the 600x300 floor variants.
    - Restored the floor material span to 6x3 tiles and set material background scale to 0.32 so the asset resolves to 192x96 px in Factorio's 32 px tile space.
    - Restored deterministic shuffling to full 6x3 material cells so the full texture repeats without partial-cell shearing.

Version: 0.2.32
Date: 2026-06-05
  Changes:
    - Reworked the origin DMZ hex floor material back to a 2x1 patch mapping for the new 600x300 floor variants.
    - Set the hex floor material background scale to 1 so the full texture repeats at its declared size instead of being cut off by half-scale mapping.
    - Updated DMZ tile shuffling to choose one variant per 2x1 material patch instead of per 6x3 macro-cell.

Version: 0.2.31
Date: 2026-06-04
  Changes:
    - Added an inactive main Diplomacy tab to the standalone GZ-Diplomacy window.
    - Added player/force/leader/flag summary, compact relationship legend, team list, stance/effective columns, chat/vision placeholders, and an Actions column.
    - Kept relation selectors, chat/vision toggles, and action buttons intentionally disabled; this is UI scaffold only with no relationship scripting wired yet.
    - Widened the standalone diplomacy window slightly so the team table/action column has room.

Version: 0.2.30
Date: 2026-05-24
  Bugfixes:
    - Repaired scripts/spawn_preview.lua after the spawn queue cleanup left an orphaned block after ensure_spawn_queue().
    - Rebased the loader fix onto the 0.2.29 joinability package instead of the accidental 0.2.27 source.

Version: 0.2.29
Date: 2026-05-24
  Changes:
    - Added explicit player-facing team joinability checkbox in the assigned-team Diplomacy menu.
    - Team members can toggle whether their team appears in other players' Join Existing Team list.
    - Joinability toggle now routes through the teams API instead of mutating the team field directly.
    - Non-members cannot change another team's joinability.
    - Refreshes open Diplomacy menus after a joinability change so the join list updates immediately.

Version: 0.2.28
Date: 2026-05-24
  Changes:
    - Added assigned team respawn handling.
    - Team forces now receive their spawn position when team spawns are assigned and when members join.
    - on_player_respawned now returns team members to their assigned team spawn.
    - Undecided/unassigned respawns return to the origin DMZ and reopen the welcome flow.
    - Kept respawn movement on the current team-spawn pipeline only.

Version: 0.2.27
Date: 2026-05-24
  Changes:
    - Removed the abandoned holding-surface pipeline entirely.
    - Removed obsolete pending-move cleanup paths.
    - Removed empty placeholder modules.
    - Split the live team-spawn teleport path into scripts/team_spawn.lua.
    - Centralized spawn queue schema/default ownership in scripts/storage.lua.
    - Made storage.root() cheap by removing per-call settings refresh.
    - Updated internal storage and Gizmod registration versions to 0.2.27.
    - Removed obsolete Gizmod registration compatibility calls; current Gizmod register path fails visibly if unavailable.
