• Floating Raphael + OV buttons (top-right) — open the panel; OV is a master overlay show/hide (with optional timed auto-reappear and launcher hiding).
• Tab groups (each appears only when its server mod is detected):
  • Bloodcraft — Familiars, Boxes, V-Bloods, All Familiars, Class, Weapon Expertise, Blood Legacy, Unarmed + Shift, Prestige, Levels, Daily Quests, Admin.
  • Kindred — Logistics (+ admin), Commands, Admin: Players / Server / World.
  • Beelzebub — Bestiary, Loadout (universal + per-weapon + per-form ability sets), Hotkeys, Transforms, Settings, admin Config / Players.
  • Faust — Castle Info, Open/All Plots, Decay Watch, Castle Resources, Player Info, Clans, Player Positions, Server Stats, Boss Status, Leaderboards, World Map, admin Control / Oversight.
  • Settings & Help — Quick Start, Mod Help, Game Guide, Settings, About.
• Secondary overlays (toggle from the footer) — XP, Familiar, Familiar Browser, Daily Quest, Professions, Shift Spell, a Combined info overlay, Quick Actions, a Familiar Quick Spawn overlay, and a Faust Boss Tracker. Each is independently draggable/resizable with its own transparency; visibility persists across sessions.
• Freeze actions while the UI is open (opt-in) — stop moving/attacking/casting and block menu hotkeys while you click around the panel.
• "Last server response" panel — replies to read-data commands (.wep get, .class l, …) show in-UI, not just in chat.
• Live data via Bloodcraft's signed broadcast protocol, with chat-regex fallback for replies it doesn't cover.
• Quality of life — hover tooltips on every control, auto-resizing panel, scrollable tabs + left rail, a two-zone color theme, a 50–400% text-size slider, and opt-in keyboard hotkeys.

Historically, Raphael + Eclipse crashed the client on load (the fault is in Eclipse's HUD code, not Raphael). When Raphael detects Eclipse it stands down from its own passive Bloodcraft layer to avoid the crash: Eclipse drives the live HUD, while Raphael keeps its command buttons and chat window. Eclipse has since updated and this hasn't been re-verified — disable Eclipse while running Raphael to be safe.

Raphael's live HUD and Bloodcraft tabs are driven by Bloodcraft's broadcast, which only runs when the server enables at least one of: Leveling, Legacy, Expertise, Class, or Familiar systems. A Quests-only / Professions-only server won't engage it — click the Bloodcraft header for an in-panel diagnostic with a one-click Force-enable tabs button (chat commands still work; live overlays stay empty until the server broadcasts).

There are known edge cases when V Rising's controller input meets the Raphael UI (e.g. a face button re-opening the panel after a waypoint teleport). A first-pass fix is in; more testing is ongoing. If something opens/closes/focuses on the wrong button, please report it on Discord with repro steps.

• Mod manager: select Raphael → version dropdown → pick an earlier build (quit the game first).
• Crash on load after an update: close the game and delete BepInEx/interop and BepInEx/cache in your profile — they rebuild on next launch.

Newer Bloodcraft builds generally still work — the chat-command grammar is stable. If a tab does nothing on click, the server likely renamed a command.

• Eclipse compatibility needs re-testing (see above) — disable it to be safe.
• Controller edge cases under investigation (see above).
• Conservative per-system detection — Raphael may show Bloodcraft tabs for systems the server has disabled (they'll just be empty); per-system hiding is planned.
• Limited autocomplete / pagination — the name cache fills from chat but forms don't yet show a dropdown; only .clan list has prev/next widgets so far.

Captured on v0.13.0; the day-to-day look still applies.

Class tab — active class card with synergies and the live .class lst data.

Weapon Expertise — current expertise, class synergies, and the set-bonus-stat form.

Overlays running alongside the V Rising HUD — XP / weapon / blood / familiar readouts streaming live.
