Changelog for GameAssist v0.1.1.1

Updated for the release of v0.1.1.1 – Quality of Life & Log Output Improvements

This release introduces several quality-of-life enhancements focused on startup message handling and GM log clarity.

- Added a QUIET_STARTUP flag (default: true) to allow GMs to suppress per-module "Ready" lines at sandbox boot, reducing chat clutter.
- The core "GameAssist is Ready" message is always shown for diagnostics, even in quiet mode.
- All module “Ready” lines now properly respect the new QUIET_STARTUP flag.
- Overhauled GameAssist.log to escape user text, split multiline outputs into discrete GM whispers, and improve overall readability.
- Updated !ga-status output to use real newlines for a cleaner, more readable summary.
- No gameplay or automation functionality was changed; this update is focused on GM-facing output and log hygiene only.

These changes provide a smoother sandbox startup experience, streamline chat output, and ensure important diagnostic information is not lost in verbose log streams.

+## [0.1.1.1] – 2025-05-30
+
+### Core Framework
+
+- **Quiet Startup Option:**  
+  Added `flags.QUIET_STARTUP` (default: `true`). GMs can now silence per-module “Ready” chat lines during sandbox boot, except for the single Core summary line.
+- **Logging Improvements:**  
+  - Re-implemented `GameAssist.log` for better output and log hygiene.
+  - Logs now automatically escape user text, split multiline output into properly prefixed `/w gm` blocks, and preserve message order and formatting.
+  - `log()` accepts `{ startup: true }` metadata, so modules can control which messages are suppressed by QUIET_STARTUP.
+- **Core-Ready Announcement:**  
+  - The core “ready” message is never suppressed, even in QUIET_STARTUP mode.
+- **Status Command Update:**  
+  - `!ga-status` now uses real newline characters for clearer output.
+  - Output remains grouped in a single whisper for better readability.
+- **Module Announcements:**  
+  - All bundled modules (CritFumble, NPCManager, ConcentrationTracker, NPCHPRoller) now mark their “Ready” lines with `{ startup:true }` so they respect QUIET_STARTUP.  
+  - NPCHPRoller conforms to this output pattern.
+- **Summary:**  
+  No functional changes to gameplay. All updates focus on GM chat output quality-of-life, reducing log clutter, and clarifying startup diagnostics.
