• Strengthen Branch Tree: Equipment can now define multiple upgrade branches! Each branch provides different stat bonuses, letting players choose their preferred upgrade path at branch points.
• Strengthen Transfer: New transfer service allows moving strengthen levels from one piece of equipment to another.
• Web Console: EmakiStrengthen now integrates with the Web console for browser-based recipe and GUI editing.

• Strengthen GUI redesigned with improved interaction experience.
• Recipe model extracted to API module for cross-plugin reference.
• Language files fully updated.
• Snapshot building and refresh logic optimized.

• Branching Enhancement System — Recipes support branch_tree for tree-based enhancement paths. Players choose different branches at specified star levels (e.g., Sharp → Crit, Heavy → High Damage, Swift → Attack Speed). Branches can be nested multiple layers deep. Paths are recorded as slash-separated strings (e.g., sharp/lethal).
• Name/Lore Actions — New name_actions / lore_actions fields modify item names and lore on successful enhancement (e.g., append [+3] suffix, add branch markers). Star-level effects also support type: "lore_action" for per-star lore control.
• Expression Variables — Star-level attributes support expressions (e.g., "5 * {star}") for dynamic scaling.
• PAPI Placeholders — %emakistrengthen_item_max_star%, %emakistrengthen_item_success_rate% (real-time with temper bonus), %emakistrengthen_item_crack_level%.
• Enhanced Action Context — Success/failure actions now have {strengthen_max_star} and {strengthen_success_rate} placeholders.

• Unified effects list format with type field.
• Conditions support structured ConditionGroup parsing.
• Two new comprehensive example files: example_recipe.yml (linear) and example_branch_recipe.yml (branching).
• Config and language files auto-merge new keys on upgrade.

• stats → variables (supports expressions), attributes → ea_attributes in star configs.
• success_actions / failure_actions → actions.success / actions.failure.
• Material item → item_sources list format.
• structured_presentation removed — use name_actions / lore_actions.
• Skill effect type: "skill" → "es_skill", skills → es_skills.
• All old built-in recipes removed; replaced by example_recipe.yml and example_branch_recipe.yml.

• Existing recipes must be migrated to the new format — refer to the new example files.
• Branching is optional; recipes without branch_tree still work as linear enhancement.
• Config version updated to 4.0.0.

• Improved strengthen recipe parsing and field handling.
• Improved strengthen attempt flow for execution, cost, failure, and result write-back scenarios.
• Removed deprecated lifecycle cleanup calls.
• Updated dependency alignment to CoreLib 3.5.0.
• Synchronized plugin, config, and language versions to 3.5.0.

• ◆ StrengthenPdcAttributeWriter now uses PdcAttributeGateway instead of reflection.
• ◆ Strengthen snapshot text now uses CoreLib structured text config evaluation.
• ◆ Strengthen presentation content can use expressions, nested variables, and random_text configs.
• ◆ Strengthen recipe parsing moved into StrengthenRecipeParser.

No upgrade notes.

• ◆ A new emakistrengthen PlaceholderAPI expansion exposes main-hand star, temper, recipe, eligibility, success count, and failure count.
• ◆ Default strengthening recipes continue using the current non-EA-prefixed attribute names.
• ◆ The clearstate admin command remains available for removing the strengthen layer from the held item.
• ◆ config.yml and zh_CN.yml now use the unified version field for 3.3.0.
• ◆ GUI-only material handling, interaction flow, rendering, and attribute write-back paths received cleanup.
• ◆ Local and global milestone broadcasts remain part of the current strengthening progression model.

• ◆ Run this release on Java 25.
• ◆ Install PlaceholderAPI if you want scoreboard or menu access to strengthening state.
• ◆ Keep custom strengthening recipes on the current non-EA-prefixed attribute names.
• ◆ Use version as the schema key in custom config and language files.
• ◆ Keep player-facing instructions aligned with GUI-only material handling.

• ◆ A new /emakistrengthen clearstate command can remove the strengthen layer from the held item for admin cleanup and recovery work.
• ◆ Strengthening materials now follow a GUI-only plan, so the module no longer treats the player backpack as an automatic material top-up path.
• ◆ Default recipes now read structured_presentation directly, and stat lines can target section_id and section_order for cleaner lore composition.
• ◆ config.yml moved to version 3.3.0 and now separates broadcast.local_stars from broadcast.global_stars for more precise announcement control.
• ◆ Attribute write-back is now handled through a dedicated writer, which helps strengthening state stay consistent during cross-module refresh flows.

• ◆ Migrate legacy presentation configs to structured_presentation and add section metadata where needed.
• ◆ Update any player-facing instructions that still imply backpack auto-consumption, because materials are now resolved from GUI slots only.
• ◆ Review local and global broadcast star thresholds after upgrading.

EmakiStrengthen 3.1.0 reorganizes star success-rate configuration, updates bundled recipes, improves GUI presentation, and fixes lore insertion behavior.
