What's New in v0.1.5

Live Instruction Inspector - A new Instructions tab in the component inspector shows the full instruction tree for any NPC entity. See which Instructions and InteractionInstructions are triggered, with a live event log feed of every sensor evaluation and action execution in real time.

• Rename nodes - Right-click any instruction row (or click the Rename text) to give it a custom name. Custom names show up in the event log and are applied per entity type, so all Sheep share the same labels. Persists across sessions.
• Collapse/expand - Click to collapse or expand instruction nodes. Alt+click to collapse or expand all sub-nodes at once.
• Resizable event log - Drag the handle between the instruction tree and event log to resize. Size is persisted.
• Fullscreen mode - Expand the component/instruction inspector to fill the entire viewport.
• Font scaling - Adjust instruction text size from 90% to 150% with a slider. Persisted.

Debug Feature Toggles - A new Debug tab in Settings lets you enable/disable individual inspector subsystems at runtime. Useful for isolating side effects during debugging or reducing overhead when you only need specific features.

Toggle	What it controls
Position Tracking	Entity position polling each tick
Entity Lifecycle	Spawn/despawn event processing
On-Demand Refresh	Fresh data fetch before detail queries
Alarm Inspection	inspector_get_entity_alarms
Timer Inspection	inspector_get_entity_timers
Instruction Inspection	inspector_get_entity_instructions
Lazy Expansion	Field expansion requests
Asset Browser	Asset scanning and browsing
Patch Management	Hytalor patch publish/draft/delete
Entity Actions	Surname changes, teleport

All toggles default to on and persist to the config file.
