NovaSync

NovaSync 2.16.122

Rollup of the late-April → early-May iteration since the previous Modrinth release. All changes verified on the public dashboard at the EU host before tagging.

What's new

• Identity tab — server icon (drag-drop, auto-resized to 64×64), display name, MOTD with live colour preview. Old MOTD/icon fields scattered across other tabs are now read-only mirrors that reflect this single source.
• NovaLink Identity cascade — when you blank the NovaLink override fields, they inherit live from the Identity tab. Override wins when set; live placeholder preview via /api/identity/state.
• Notifications matrix — per-channel rules (Discord, Email, WhatsApp) for every event class. Reorganised into 5 categories. New Audit sub-tab with ring buffer (/api/notifications/audit) shows what fired and where.
• Public server directory filters — Open vs. whitelisted badges + filter chips + sort dropdown + URL persistence on link.nova-ai.online. Country/region chips with a "Near Me" option. Discord-CTA on detail pages.
• Server Address card — prefers your friendly link.address hostname over raw IP. Separate Bedrock-host field. Dashboard URL row with Copy button.
• CF / multi-CDN proxy detection — auto-detects Cloudflare / Fastly / Akamai / CloudFront fronting your Hub URL. Shows a green "Origin protected by <Provider>" confirmation instead of nudging you to enable a proxy you already have.
• Live player count on the directory — PlayerJoin/Quit events trigger a debounced instant heartbeat, so link.nova-ai.online updates within ~3 seconds of join/quit.
• In-dashboard bug reports — submit reports straight from the dashboard; integrated with the audit log.
• Player Lookup autocomplete — type-ahead from known players via a <datalist>; free-text fallback preserved; auto-fires the profile load on pick.
• Previously-Connected players — sortable by columns.

Fixes

• Roles tab no longer renders blank on first load (chart-init race + tab-switch ordering).
• Notifications save was silently failing — config-key mismatch fixed; 7 missing WhatsApp + 6 missing Discord/Email keys now persist; onOpChange + onDifficultyChange route correctly through NotificationsRouter.
• WhatsApp toggle gates were stuck closed — a stale final field captured at class-init was shadowing the live config.
• AntiCheat duplicate Discord path removed.
• NovaLink form refresh no longer overwrites your edits — !isAutoRefresh guards added to Notifications / Identity / NovaLink tabs + focus-detection belt-and-suspenders.
• Settings → Nova tab cascade-hide bug — two sections were being hidden because they sat under the integrations data-sub wrapper.
• Server icon dropzone now accepts PNG / JPEG / GIF / BMP (was hard-blocking on a dead PNG-magic-byte check).
• CDN cache-poisoning prevented — download URLs use {version} placeholder so each release is a unique CF cache key. Cache-Control reduced to 60s on /downloads/*.{jar,txt}.

Operational

• One-click auto-update from the dashboard works node-by-node — owner clicks Update on each node, the plugin pulls from the CDN and restarts. No more manual SCP on iterative builds.
• Multi-CDN IP-range fixture is bundled in the JAR (cdn-ip-ranges.json).

— Tested on Paper 1.21.11 (EU + SA hosts, both with paying players online during the ramp).
