All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.

[1.0.2] - 2026-03-30

Fixed

• UI Performance: Clicking +/- on material quantities or recipe amounts no longer triggers a server roundtrip. All quantity adjustments are now handled client-side in JavaScript, making interactions instant instead of 10-15 seconds per click.
• Hot-Reload Crash: Replaced require('server.utils') with explicit load ordering in fxmanifest.lua and a global reference (TailorUtils). This fixes the "syntax error in server utils" that occurred on resource restart / hot-reload.
• Delivery Ped Not Spawning: CreatePed() was called at distant pickup coordinates when the order was placed, but GTA silently culls entities far from all players. Rewrote spawnDeliveryPed to use lib.points proximity-based spawning — the ped is now created only when the player approaches within 80 units and despawned when they leave.
• Delivery Ped Not Targetable: Replaced addTargetSphereZone (placed at raw config Z) with addTargetLocalEntity on the ped entity itself, so the interaction prompt always aligns with the actual ped position after ground placement.
• becomeTailor Crash: Added nil guard for getPlayer() result in the becomeTailor server handler to prevent attempt to index a nil value when the player object is unavailable.
• Image Caching: Added itemImageCache so getItemImage() results are cached across menu rebuilds, matching the existing getItemLabel() pattern.
• Empty Config Entries: Added a nil-guard in buildRecipeEntries to skip empty {} placeholder entries in TailorRecipes (e.g. Accessories, Materials) that could produce broken UI cards.
• Config Typo: Fixed payckecks:addToPaycheck → paychecks:addToPaycheck in DeliveryPayment.event.name.
• Unused Variable: Removed dead GetPlayer() call in server/utils.lua increaseExperience().

Added

• Warp Into Van Toggle: New Config.WarpIntoVan option (default true). When disabled, the player is not warped into the delivery van on order or delivery start.

Changed

• Quantity Controls: The +/- buttons and quantity input are now fully handled in the NUI JavaScript layer. Native browser number input spinners have been removed (input changed to type="text" with inputMode="numeric").
• Order Cart: Material order quantities are tracked in the JS UI and sent to Lua as a complete cart on "Submit Order". The "Reset Cart" button resets quantities purely client-side.
• Recipe Crafting: The craft amount is read from the JS payload when "Craft" is clicked, rather than relying on Lua-side state that required a server callback to rebuild.
• Server Scripts Load Order: fxmanifest.lua now uses explicit file ordering (server/utils.lua, server/tailoring.lua, server/laptop.lua) instead of the server/*.lua glob to guarantee correct initialization order.
• Experience Caching: Sewing machine and materials station menus cache the player's experience data on first open, so subsequent quantity changes don't re-query the database.
• Delivery Ped Lifecycle: Ped spawning/despawning is now managed via lib.points proximity triggers instead of a one-shot CreatePed call. Cleanup in receiveOrderItems removes the proximity point and sche

[1.0.1] - 2026-02-24

Added

• Configurable job access gating via Config.JobAccess.enabled and Config.JobAccess.job.
• Server-side enforcement for tailoring actions to prevent direct event bypass.

Changed

• Laptop job assignment now uses the configured job name and updates menu labels accordingly.
• Access denied messaging now reflects the configured job label.
