- Treat null GameRules as "not ready" so skills are never assigned during
warmup right after plugin load/hot-reload (SetSkill + RoundStart)
- PerfLog writes a header line on first measurement so the perf file
appears immediately when PerfMode is active
- GeoLite/MaxMind lookup wrapped in try/catch and disabled for the session on failure
(stops the per-tick exception spam when the assembly cannot load during hot-reload)
- New PerfMode config option: writes performance logs to logs/perf_<date>.txt
(DisableAll/SetSkill/PlayerDeath totals, per-skill SkillAction timings,
aggregated OnTick/CheckTransmit avg-max summaries)
- css_reload now invalidates the skill-info and freeze-time caches
- Removed the last null-forgiving player lookups (Command, Armored, Baseball,
FriendlyFire, OneShot)
Performance & stability pass (issue #34 + audit)
General:
- DisableAll resets only skills active in the previous round instead of all loaded skills (~89ms -> ~5ms)
- Removed per-tick LINQ/allocations, O(1) HUD skill lookups, translation substitutions moved to load time
- ForceFullUpdate creates the network service once per broadcast; view-angle guard only skips a genuine (0,0,0) placeholder
- Debug hooks/logging only active when DebugMode is enabled (single reused writer)
- Player skill state unified to a single collection (fixes a rare disconnect race)
- Gamedata signatures resolved lazily/isolated; hardened tick/transmit paths against invalid handles
- Description HUD honours always-show / -1 duration consistently across all assignment paths
Skills:
- Jester: fixed the no-damage effect leaking after a mid-round skill change (Thief/Deactivator)
- Jackal: fixed trail entities accumulating over a round
- Falcon Eye / Third Eye / Spectator: camera state cleared on disable
Also: added missing translation keys as untranslated markers across language files.

Bump module version to 1.2.1.b7 and change SkillAction to return the invoked method result (object?) or null when not found. Add and normalize many localization entries across multiple language files (aimlock, homingnades, hotbomb, illiterate, illusionist, magneticdecoy, magneto, miner, planter_planting, teleporter chance string, throwingknife, weightless, wildthrow, smoker, etc.) and clean up duplicate/obsolete entries. Update server plugin binaries and configs (WASDMenuAPI.dll, jRandomSkills.dll, config.json, skillsInfo.json) and remove playersLanguage.json.
