Project Status

What works now, what is being watched, and what remains intentionally gated.

Current snapshot

Ant Trail v0.36.2

Current

Core autobiography

Chronicle, Lives, Chapters, trail history, Replay, and related historical presentation remain the core of the addon.

Forever 1.60.1 compatibility

World Map integration now handles current Forever behavior more safely, including controller/gamepad UI mode.

Beta

Campfire website

The shared Supabase backend is connected with row-level security, verified-account posting rules, rate limits, replies, and private abuse reports. Public registration remains closed until transactional email and bot protection are verified.

Backend live
Gated

Trail Upload / live-enough sync

No external game reader exists. Manual import is the conservative first design; near-live sync has not been approved or implemented.

Not live

Known Tracks

Issues already on the map

InvestigatingAT-001

Legacy SavedVariables migrations

Older histories may lack modern schema fields. Recovery should preserve known evidence and avoid inventing precision.

WatchingAT-002

Unusual Replay session boundaries

Legacy or interrupted sessions need careful treatment when session identity is incomplete.

DesigningAT-003

Public trail sharing

Manual import, validation, private preview, field redaction, and explicit publish are the current design direction.

In progressAT-004

Campfire moderation

Server-side anti-spam and private report submission are in place. Maintainer review tools and a private support path still need to be finished before the community gate fully opens.

Website readiness

What can go live now

  • Trailhead landing page and project identity.
  • Current build summary and Development Chronicle.
  • Backup, recovery, privacy, community, and compliance documentation.
  • Shared Campfire backend with public reading, verified-account write rules, and private reports. Registration remains closed pending email and bot protection.
  • Known Tracks and roadmap.
  • Future Trail Upload explanation with no actual game-data ingestion.

Campfire writes are account-gated. Database row-level security, abuse limits, and private reports are active; registration remains closed until email verification delivery and bot protection are verified in production.

Deliberate gates

What is not being rushed

Live-enough syncing is not a synonym for “background game reader.” The implementation method is the policy question. Until an exact design is reviewed, the website should never imply that Ant Trail continuously reads or intercepts the WoW client.

  • No process-memory reading.
  • No packet interception or protocol emulation.
  • No hidden player enumeration.
  • No unattended gameplay input.
  • No automatic public publication of raw character history.

Bring it to the Campfire

Use the Campfire for reproducible bugs, confusing behavior, feature ideas, and questions. For a raw SavedVariables recovery case, preserve the untouched source and use a private support route rather than posting it publicly.
