Changelog

0.1.2

• Replaced exact runtime game-version, assembly SHA-256, and MVID blocking with a contract-based compatibility gate, so compatible client/server builds and minor Valheim patches are not disabled solely because their build identity differs.
• Kept pinned assembly hashes and MVIDs as build/reference provenance checks only.
• Added exact, unique runtime checks for every patched target, Harmony constructor/API and patch method, accessed game member, and Unity road-discovery contract; missing or ambiguous signatures still fail closed before Harmony construction or gameplay-hook installation.
• Strengthened transactional patch rollback so every cleanup step runs, gameplay entrypoints are cleared, the owned Paved Road station is restored, and incomplete restoration state is retained for a safe cleanup retry before Treadwell remains disabled.
• Preserved all paved-road placement, movement, configuration, multiplayer, and client-only behavior unchanged.

0.1.1

Release package prepared with the exact DLL bytes supplied for live validation.

• Revalidated unchanged 0.1.1 gameplay and configuration against Valheim 1.0.14, anonymous Steam dedicated-server build 25364309, and Unity 6000.0.75f1.
• Updated the fail-closed runtime fingerprint, private reference bundle, metadata/IL contracts, documentation, and deterministic test package.
• Added Paved roads without stonecutter, enabled by default, so the vanilla paved-road terrain piece can be placed outside stonecutter range.
• Replaced the unsuccessful requirement-check bypass with a direct, local recipe edit: the exact Paved Road piece's crafting-station reference is removed as Valheim enters place mode, before its piece table refreshes, and immediately before vanilla requirement checks.
• Fixed a second test-build failure caused by incorrectly requiring the live station object to carry exact stonecutter prefab and display identifiers; Treadwell now captures and clears whatever non-null station reference is attached to the exact Paved Road piece.
• Replaced brittle paved_road / $piece_pavedroad identity gates after live diagnostics proved the active entry did not match both guessed names. Discovery now uses the pinned root-Piece table structure plus one paved terrain operation, a station requirement, and one single-unit Stone resource requirement; Paved Road and station names are diagnostic only; the expected Stone resource prefab remains part of the semantic constraint.
• Traverses child components for terrain operations, requires exactly one semantic candidate, and fails closed on zero or multiple matches.
• Preserved and safely restored the captured station reference when the option is disabled, the scene unloads, or Treadwell shuts down.
• Added one-time bounded BepInEx diagnostics for successful semantic selection and for zero/ambiguous matches, including sanitized candidate shapes and names without adding in-game messages.
• Kept the normal stone cost, unlock knowledge, placement checks, hoe stamina and durability, effects, repairs, and every unrelated piece or crafting station unchanged.
• Added regression coverage for station/name independence, semantic discovery, zero/multiple-match rejection, nested terrain shapes, real place-mode and placement-check lifecycles, restoration, piece-table reloads, runtime conflicts, and setting changes.

0.1.0

Initial public release.

• Added configurable sprint bonuses for vanilla dirt paths: 10% more speed and 10% less sprint-stamina use by default.
• Added independently configurable paved-road bonuses: 20% more speed and 20% less sprint-stamina use by default.
• Constrained all four percentage settings to 0–100 and included a master enable switch.
• Preserved Valheim's Run skill, equipment, status-effect, and global movement calculations by applying multiplicative modifiers.
• Added short path-edge smoothing with immediate clearing on cultivated soil, floors, non-terrain surfaces, and leaving the ground.
• Limited all effects to the local player while sprinting; carts, creatures, other movement actions, UI, sounds, and world state are unchanged.
• Added exact fail-closed compatibility checks for Valheim 1.0.12 / Steam build 25253764.
• Live-tested the core road bonuses in Valheim.
• Added pure behavior tests, independent assembly-contract tests, pinned reference verification, deterministic packaging, and an exact five-file package audit.
