NeuroLag

[1.4.0] — Stability + lifecycle fix release

Fixed

• Removed the command-level permission wall in plugin.yml so feature-specific permissions can actually work.
• Reworked /nlag toggle so manual override now restores mobs immediately and stops active throttling instead of leaving old optimization state hanging.
• Reworked /nlag reload to stop and restart runtime services cleanly, including CPU monitor, predictive scheduler, web dashboard, backup scheduler, multi-server sync, and monitor tasks.
• Multi-server sync now clears stale peers and restarts cleanly on reload.
• Protected-zone mobs are now excluded from smart culling and have FOLLOW_RANGE restored to defaults when encountered during optimization.
• Ongoing MEDIUM and CRITICAL states now keep reapplying optimization passes on later monitor ticks, so movement into protected zones / hot zones / player zones is handled more consistently.
• Stress-test mobs no longer give themselves a custom name, so they are no longer accidentally excluded by the named-mob whitelist.
• Backup system now stores full zip bundles of NeuroLag YAML files instead of only copying config.yml.
• Added restore-by-name support for /nlag backup restore <file>.
• Memory-pressure config now normalizes legacy percentage values above 1.0, and defaults were corrected to ratio format (0.80).
• Player-scaling ratio is now clamped to avoid negative threshold offsets when online players are below the configured minimum.
• Predictive scheduler now clears parsed peak-hour ranges on restart/reload to avoid duplicate entries.
• Zone manager now fully resets cached zone and WorldGuard state when the feature is disabled or reloaded.
• Web/API JSON generation now escapes keys/values properly and uses stable decimal formatting.
• Web auth query token parsing is stricter and only logs the fallback warning once.
• CPU monitor now resets stale displayed values when stopped or disabled.
• BossBar dashboard now respects dashboard.bossbar.name and dashboard.bossbar.color from monitors.yml.
• Metrics API plugin-message registration now reads the correct split config source.

Docs
