HardcoreLedger v105 — full package (addon + uploader)
=====================================================

INSTALL (2 minutes, one time):

1. Copy the "HardcoreLedger" folder into your WoW AddOns folder:
     <WoW>\Interface\AddOns\HardcoreLedger
   (The Uploader folder can live anywhere you like -- Desktop, Documents.
   It does NOT need to be inside AddOns.)

2. Double-click Uploader\HardcoreLedgerUploader.bat

3. When it asks "Start the uploader automatically with Windows?" type y.
   After that you never touch it again -- it starts quietly in the
   background every time your PC boots and uploads your runs on its own.

4. In game, log in with the addon installed, then type /reload so it writes
   its save file. The uploader picks it up from there.

That's it. In game, type /hl to open the dashboard.

DEATHS, TRANSFERS & LOCKS
On WoW: Forever, dying in hardcore mode lets you move your character to
another realm set (PvP, Normal...). The addon catches this even if it
didn't see you die: on your next login, if your hardcore run wakes up on
a non-hardcore realm, the run is recorded as a transfer and uploaded. If
you log in dead (a ghost) with the run still marked alive, that's logged
as an unrecorded death. Either way, your leaderboard entry LOCKS the
instant the death/transfer is recorded -- no more uploads for that
character until the lock is released in the admin panel.

NOTE FOR WOW: FOREVER
Forever's client blocks addons from reading the combat log, so on Forever
the addon does NOT track witnessed deaths, boss-kill alerts, or the Last
Stand damage breakdown (it says so once in chat at login). Everything
else works: run tracking, level, /played, close calls, death reports,
challenges, and leaderboard uploads. Override: /hl combatlog on.

WHAT IT DOES
- Tracks your hardcore run: level, /played, close calls, witnessed deaths,
  boss kills, self-imposed challenges (solo / no-AH / no-trade).
- On death you get the Last Stand report: killer, zone, and the final
  15 seconds of damage. /hl recap prints it, /hl share copies it.
- The addon reads your REALM name automatically. If the realm looks like
  a Hardcore realm it sets hardcore mode itself; otherwise it asks you
  once with /hl mode. Your realm shows on the leaderboard next to your
  character, and the board can be filtered by realm.
- The uploader sends your run to https://hardcoreledger.pages.dev --
  the community leaderboard + memorial wall. No account, no password.
- It also writes Uploader\obs.txt (in %APPDATA%\HardcoreLedgerUploader)
  after every upload -- point an OBS text source at it for a live overlay.
- First run offers Windows auto-start; say yes and forget it exists.

PRIVACY
The uploader sends only your run summary: character name, class, level,
faction, realm, guild, mode, challenges, playtime, close calls, alive/dead,
death report, and deaths you witnessed. Nothing else on your PC is
read or sent. Your leaderboard identity is a random per-PC ID plus
your character name.

UPDATES
The uploader checks for a newer version every time it runs and tells you
where to download it. The addon is free forever.
