Kelsi	d2dbf1959d	feat(editor): add WCHN JSON round-trip (export/import sidecar) ... Closes the JSON round-trip gap on the channels catalog format shipped last batch. --export-wchn-json emits all 10 scalar fields plus dual int + name forms for channelType and factionAccess so hand-edits can use either representation. --import-wchn-json accepts either form, falling back to the int when both are present. Verified byte-identical round-trip on all three preset emitters (starter / city / moderated).	2026-05-09 18:52:32 -07:00
Kelsi	af214d8b34	feat(pipeline): add WCHN (Wowee Chat Channel) catalog ... Novel open replacement for Blizzard's ChatChannels.dbc + the AzerothCore-style chat_channel SQL tables. The 40th open format added to the editor. Defines the world chat channel system: General, Trade, LookingForGroup, GuildRecruitment, LocalDefense, plus per-zone area channels and custom user-created channels. Each channel has access rules (faction / level), join behavior (auto vs opt-in), broadcast policy (announce / moderated), and optional area / map gating that auto-joins or auto-leaves the channel as the player moves. Cross-references with previously-added formats: WCHN.entry.areaIdGate -> WMS.area.areaId (channel auto-attaches in this area) WCHN.entry.mapIdGate -> WMS.map.mapId (channel auto-attaches on this map) Format: • magic "WCHN", version 1, little-endian • per channel: channelId / name / description / channelType / factionAccess / autoJoin / announce / moderated / minLevel / areaIdGate / mapIdGate Enums: • ChannelType (10): AreaLocal / Zone / Continent / World / Trade / LookingForGroup / GuildRecruit / LocalDefense / Custom / Pvp • FactionAccess (3): Alliance / Horde / Both API: WoweeChannelLoader::save / load / exists / findById. Three preset emitters: • makeStarter — 4 stock channels (General Zone + Trade + LFG + GuildRecruit) with default autoJoin policies • makeCity — 5 city-specific channels (3 Stormwind + 2 Orgrimmar) with mapId / areaId gates so they auto-attach on entry • makeModerated — 3 moderated / restricted channels (LocalDefense level 10+, WorldDefense moderated, RaidCoordination level 60+) CLI added (5 flags, 677 documented total now): --gen-channels / --gen-channels-city / --gen-channels-moderated --info-wchn / --validate-wchn Validator catches: channelId=0 + duplicates, empty name, unknown channelType / factionAccess, world / continent channel with area or map gate (gate is silently ignored at runtime — usually a typo), minLevel=0 (no level gate at all).	2026-05-09 18:43:26 -07:00
