# DecorDrops Compliance Notes

This addon is designed to be policy-safe for modern WoW addon rules and intentionally avoids automation, bot-like behavior, or external monetization hooks.

## Verification Date
- Last policy verification pass: February 21, 2026.

## Policy Alignment
- No gameplay automation or unattended play behavior.
- No protected-function bypasses, no click/key simulation.
- No hidden communication channels.
- No external authentication or paywall logic.
- No external web/API requests from addon code.
- Teleport actions are user-initiated secure clicks only (no background casting logic).
- Manual scan trigger uses confirmation + 60-second cooldown to avoid spammy API use.
- Waypoint clear is manual/user-initiated only (`Clear Waypoints` top-bar action).

## API Use Scope
Allowed usage in this addon is limited to standard client UI/data APIs such as:
- `CreateFrame`, `GameTooltip`, slash commands, saved variables.
- `C_Map.SetUserWaypoint` / `C_SuperTrack.SetSuperTrackedUserWaypoint`.
- Item/transmog read APIs (`C_Item`, `C_TransmogCollection`, `GetItemInfo`, `C_TooltipInfo`).
- Encounter Journal + Housing Catalog read APIs for decor-only scan data.

Not used:
- Any HTTP/web request API.
- Any API for gameplay automation/botting behavior.

## UI Safety Notes
- The addon does not replace Blizzard secure templates for automated actions.
- World map interaction is limited to opening map and setting map context; no protected gameplay actions are triggered from map hooks.
- Scan and waypoint flows are bound to explicit user clicks/buttons and are disabled where combat lockdown applies.

## Themes
- `Midnight` is the fixed visual profile.
- Item quality colors follow Blizzard quality color standards:
  - White = Common
  - Green = Uncommon
  - Blue = Rare
  - Purple = Epic
  - Orange = Legendary

## Operator Checklist
- Keep all data local in `Data.lua`.
- Keep drop-rate sourcing transparent and non-commercial.
- Re-check Blizzard policy notes after major patches/expansions.
