Chatinoid Development History

PrivateLine v2.0

Major upgrade of the Chatinoid private messaging system, transforming it into a fully real-time, interactive and modular communication channel with dynamic rendering and complete WebSocket event integration.

Real-Time Private Messaging

• Instant WebSocket-based private message delivery.
• Zero refresh — all messages appear live for both users.
• Automatic read-status update when opening the conversation.
• Full sync with Chatinoid ColorSync: username, color, message-text update in real time.

Conversation History Engine

• Past 20 messages loaded with sender color + timestamps.
• Consistent ordering (server → client reverse load → DOM stacking corrected).
• Deleted messages hidden automatically (`status = 0`).

Enhanced Private Header

• Profile header with username, live indicators and actions.
• Dedicated PrivateLine version label linking to chatlog archive.
• Close-tab action handling + automatic cleanup on exit.

User Interaction & Profile Integration

• Clickable usernames open Offcanvas Profile instantly.
• Profile data carried through meta-tags for WebSocket logic.
• Full compatibility with BenutzerScanner and profile triggers.

Private Conversation Controls

• Side panel with user actions: profile, friend-request (reserved), block (reserved), delete.
• Dynamic modal system (Chatinoid Modal Engine) for confirmations.
• Conversation delete sends real-time WebSocket event private_delete.

Deletion Workflow (Two-Button Safety)

• Custom modal override inserts „Cancel” and „Delete” buttons.
• Deletion removes private conversation for both users.
• Auto-close the PrivateLine tab after successful removal.

Safety & Anti-Abuse Logic

• Input automatically disabled if partner account is deleted.
• MutationObserver keeps the state locked even after reconnect.
• HTML escape + overflow protection on all message text.

UI / UX Improvements

• Stacked message formatting with timestamp + color-coded sendername.
• Responsive two-column layout (Chat + Actions).
• Overflow handling for extreme message lengths.

Notes

PrivateLine v2.0 is the first fully interactive, stateful, and WebSocket-driven private communication engine in the Chatinoid platform. The next milestone introduces typing-indicator events, media messaging and encrypted message envelopes.

PrivateLine v1.2

Structural improvements to the private messaging module, introducing unified formatting, sender-color logic and advanced DOM handling.

Refined Message Renderer

• Sender color pulled from user_settings.chat_color.
• Timestamps formatted using H:i helper.
• Consistent HTML structure for all messages.

Improved SQL Logic

• Two-way conversation matching using sender/recipient symmetry.
• Deleted messages filtered via status = 0.
• Reverse-load → DOM-forward stacking fix.

Offcanvas Profile Connection

• Clickable usernames open profile panel directly.
• Unified attribute structure (data-userid, data-username).
