Version 0.4.3a

Features

NEW NPC and spell list support. The plugin now resolves conflicts for NPC spawn lists and spell distribution lists, not just item lists.
NEW Per-type INI toggles. Three new INI settings let you turn conflict resolution on or off for items, NPCs, and spells separately.
NEW Per-type log summary. The log now shows how many lists were resolved for each type (items, NPCs, spells).
NEW SSEEdit companion script. New SSEEdit script with two modes: Info Mode scans your lists for broken references, empty lists, and circular references; Patch Mode creates a permanent patch using the same logic as the SKSE plugin.

Fixes

FIX Null entries stripped from leveled lists. Empty references left behind by broken mods are now removed during conflict resolution instead of being passed to the engine.
FIX Negative item counts clamped. Invalid negative counts from corrupt mod data are now set to 1 instead of wrapping to a huge number.

Changes

CHANGE Shared resolution code. All three list types now use the same conflict resolution logic for consistent behavior.
CHANGE Reads all leveled list types from disk. The plugin now reads NPC and spell list data from your mod files, not just item lists.

Improvements

IMPROVED Data quality warnings in log. The log summary now reports how many null entries and negative counts were found, so you can tell if a mod has bad data.

Version 0.3.6a

Improvements

IMPROVED Editor ID rename preservation. When a mod renames a list's internal ID (used in modding tools like SSEEdit), the latest name is now kept in logs and patches.
IMPROVED Per-bit flag preservation. When multiple mods change different settings on the same list (like "Use All" or "Calculate For Each"), all changes are now kept instead of only the last mod's.

Changes

CHANGE Logs show renamed IDs. Logs now display the latest Editor ID from your load order instead of always using the original.

Version 0.3.4a

Fixes

FIX Duplicate entries resolved incorrectly. Items that appeared multiple times with different counts were treated as the same entry, causing some to disappear.
FIX "Carried forward" log showing removed entries. The log incorrectly listed entries as "carried forward" even when a mod had removed them.
FIX Plugin file reader using wrong format. The plugin read mod files using the wrong data layout, causing it to skip every entry and produce incorrect results.

Version 0.2a

Features

NEW Circular reference detection. The plugin now detects and breaks circular leveled list references that would crash the game.
NEW Overflow sublists. Lists with more than 255 entries are now split into nested sublists so nothing gets dropped.

NEW Readable names in logs. Logs and cycle warnings now show item names instead of just hex IDs.
NEW SE, AE, and VR support. Works on all three Skyrim editions.
NEW Cycle notification setting. New enablecyclenotification INI setting to show a message when circular references are found.
IMPROVED Better notification timing. In-game notifications now appear when loading a save instead of during the loading screen.
