PunisherX takes a major step forward in everyday moderation: a native Spigot edition, a complete report workflow, faster access to punishment templates, and safer configuration handling. This update brings together the changes on main since 1.7.2.

Functional changes:

• Added a native Spigot edition. PunisherX now has a dedicated Spigot implementation with its own command registration, scheduler and library loader, alongside the Paper/Folia edition.
• Expanded player reports into a complete moderation workflow. Players can submit reports through /report, a GUI, or a native Paper form. Staff can browse open reports, inspect details, resolve or reject them with a reason, and review previous decisions through /reports.
• Added persistent report decisions, including the handling administrator, explanation and time. Servers sharing the same database can access the same reports and their history.
• Added protection against reporting yourself, invalid reasons and duplicate open reports against the same player. The number of open reports per reporter is configurable through reports.max-open-per-reporter (default: 3).
• Added separate permissions for reading reports and handling decisions: punisherx.see.reports and punisherx.manage.reports.
• Added native dialogs on Paper 1.21.7+. Report submission and management, punishment lists in /banlist, /history and /check, and reason editing through /change-reason can use the native interface. Older Paper versions and Spigot retain inventory or chat interfaces; dialogs can be disabled in the configuration.
• Expanded the /panel moderation interface. Added player search, more detailed punishment browsing and permission checks for player actions.
• Added quick punishments from punish-templates.yml directly in the player GUI, including a preview of the next escalation level based on punishment history.
• Added a live GUI editor for punishment duration and reason presets. Administrators can add, edit and remove presets without manually editing config.yml; changes are saved for future use.
• Improved the offline player list: players known to the server are included even without an IP cache entry, the newest records are selected, and recently active players appear first by default.
• Added logout location tracking. The panel can display the position captured when a player disconnects, with saved locations retained across server restarts.
• Added configurable command aliases and improved command suggestions to match the entered text and relevant player lists.
• Added Korean language resources for punishment and report messages.
• Extended the recognized Minecraft versions to include 26.2 and 26.3.

Configuration and language safety:

• Added /prx validate and /punisherx validate. Administrators can check configuration and language YAML files without changing them.
• Added validation before startup and /prx reload. If a checked YAML file is invalid, reload stops before dismantling the working plugin instance, and the invalid files are reported.
• Missing language keys now use bundled defaults in memory instead of rewriting the administrator's language file.
• Invalid language YAML at startup can fall back to the bundled translation. The original file is preserved, with a timestamped safety copy under lang/backups/.
• Disabled the old language version migration mechanism to avoid automatic rewriting of custom translations.

Technical changes:

• Reorganized the project into separate Paper, Spigot, Velocity and BungeeCord modules with selectable builds.
• Replaced the previous inventory GUI implementation with Triumph GUI in both server editions.
• Added player-aware scheduling for GUI updates and interactions, improving compatibility with Folia's region threading model.
• Expanded the Velocity bridge with active network ban checks at login, in addition to queued punishment events. A player with an active network-wide ban can be refused at the proxy even after the original event has been processed.
• Updated the Velocity bridge for Velocity 4. The server plugin targets Java 21; the Velocity 4 bridge requires Java 25 or newer.
• Added a controlled OFFLINE UUID -> PREMIUM UUID migration service on Paper for integration with AuthGatewayX. It covers punishments, punishment history, reports, bridge targets, IP cache and jail cache, with migration journals, backups and rollback support.
• Added namespaced world keys to jail and unjail locations while retaining compatibility with existing world names and older jail cache entries.
• Improved database schema checks, including SQLite column detection and PostgreSQL handling for server-scoped punishments.
• Added library diagnostics and runtime dependency checks, and improved runtime library loading.
• Updated FastStats integration and added migration of its configuration.
• Centralized dependency versions in a Gradle version catalog and updated Kotlin, Gradle, platform APIs and runtime libraries.
• Expanded automated coverage for bundled translations, world compatibility, scheduling, UUID migration and logout location persistence, with CI checks for MessageHandler integration.
• Added English and Polish administrator guides, plus documentation for reports, UUID migration and language safety.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed stale player cache data after repeated logins. Existing UUID/IP entries now refresh instead of retaining the original visit date.
• Fixed /cache selecting older player entries instead of the latest available records.
• Fixed missing offline players and unavailable last logout locations in the moderation panel.
• Fixed unsafe reload behavior when configuration files contain invalid YAML, and made Paper shutdown safe after startup validation fails.
• Fixed language fallback initialization on Paper and Spigot, and Spigot component conversion in validation messages.
• Corrected UUID handling in ban and jail list interfaces.
• Improved multiline kick messages and resolved an Adventure library version conflict.
• Adjusted chat listener priority and cancellation handling for better interaction with other chat plugins.
• Improved GeoIP license-key validation and database preparation error handling, with contributions from @d0ddn.
• Improved SQLite schema queries based on work by @d0ddn.
• Fixed shaded MySQL JDBC driver discovery in the Velocity bridge.
• Improved Discord webhook delivery diagnostics and added punishment start and end times to embed fields.
