Questie-X v1.5.0 — Universal Stability & Zone Mapping

This major update focuses on critical runtime stability, centralized localization logic, and improved development infrastructure for all supported private servers (Ascension, Ebonhold, Turtle WoW, etc.).

Database & Performance

• [Fix] Database Robustness: Added strict guards against invalid or zero IDs in QuestieDB lookup functions (GetNPC, GetObject, GetItem). This prevents the "rawdata is nil" debug spam that occurred when custom plugins attempted to access uninitialized or malformed entity data.
• [Refactor] Lookup Logic: Refactored QuestieDB override handling to support both numeric and string keys simultaneously. This ensures that custom server data is correctly resolved regardless of how the third-party plugin formats its internal IDs.
• [Refactor] Data Injection: Updated QuestieLearner:InjectLearnedData to enforce numeric key normalization, preventing type-mismatch collisions during database merging.
• [Fix] Custom Server Compilation: Fixed database compilation not running on custom servers where plugins inject data after initial load.
• [Performance] Taint Mitigation: Resolved multiple ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED taint vectors related to Questie-X-WotLKDB global namespace pollution.

QuestieLearner & Localization

• [Fix] Centralized Zone Lookup: Refactored l10n.lua to include centralized zone-to-ID mapping functions. This resolves the attempt to call method 'GetAreaIdByLocalName' (a nil value) error that occurred on Project Ebonhold.
• [Fix] Ascension Zone Mapping: Fixed a regression in QuestieCompat where uiMapData for Ascension-specific zones was not correctly propagating to the global mapping table.
• [Fix] Zone Mapping Bug: Fixed incorrect key assignment in QuestiePluginAPI:InjectZoneTables(), resolving "No UiMapID or fitting parentAreaId" errors.

Infrastructure & Development

• [Feature] Session Export: Added a standardized session_export skill for automated exports of developer documentation and session artifacts.
• [Feature] Enhanced Logging: Improved initialization logging to provide detailed reporting on custom data injection for NPC, Object, and Item entities.

Files Changed

• Standardized version to 1.5.0 across all files.
• Consolidated all v1.5.x experimental changes into a stable v1.5.0 release.
• Updated documentation: README.md, CHANGELOG.md, docs/changelog.html, and docs/index.html.
