The issue was dbo.SceneCharacter_Save being stored with QUOTED_IDENTIFIER off, which SQL Server rejects when inserting into tables involved with filtered-index requirements.
I updated [CoreServices.cs](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Services/CoreServices.cs) so RelationshipMapService enriches map nodes from the normal character list, which already includes AvatarImagePath / AvatarThumbnailPath. Maggie Grant’s node detail should now use her avatar image instead of falling back to MG.
Verification: separate-output build passed with 0 warnings and 0 errors.
No database changes were required.
Restored inline field help beside:
Type
X
Y
Width
Height
Label override
Left plain, with no field help in Selected Block:
Location
Notes
The panel-level Selected block [?] help remains. I also verified the help path: HelpIconTagHelper uses HelpService.GetByContextKey, and HelpService caches parsed article metadata after first load.
Measured findings:
Authenticated Calendar House editor load measured around 600 ms locally.
SQL calls were generally around 50-65 ms after warm-up.
The main recent bloat was the Help UI wiring: the editor had 615 help icons and about 1.5 MB of HTML.
Optimisations made:
Reduced repeated hidden help icons in [Edit.cshtml (line 409)](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Views/FloorPlans/Edit.cshtml:409), especially per-block editors and repeated transition edit modals.
Help icons now measure at 107, with HTML reduced to about 1.26 MB.
Optimised occupancy warning calculation in [CoreServices.cs (line 7883)](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Services/CoreServices.cs:7883) by grouping occupancy rows once instead of repeatedly scanning them per scene.
Added new index migration [083_FloorPlanEditorOccupancyIndexes.sql](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Sql/083_FloorPlanEditorOccupancyIndexes.sql) for Floor Plan scene/occupancy lookups. Applied locally.
Verified:
Structure/Occupancy mode still works.
Previous/Next scene changes the selected scene.
Tokens and transitions still render.
Help icons still resolve to articles.
dotnet build PlotLine.slnx passes with 0 warnings and 0 errors.
No Floor Plans behaviour, transition logic, occupancy data model, or feature architecture changes.
What changed:
Added 45 new Floor Plans help articles under [FloorPlans](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Help/Articles/FloorPlans), including the seven full guides requested plus field-level help for the contextual icons.
Wired contextual help-icon entries into:Floor Plans list page
Floor Plan editor header
Structure / Occupancy mode controls
floor, block, background, transitions and occupancy UI
transition-specific areas for stairs, ladders, hidden doors and secret passages
Verification:
Confirmed every Floor Plans help-icon key used in the views has a matching article.
Confirmed all 45 new articles have required help metadata.
dotnet build PlotLine.slnx passes with 0 warnings and 0 errors.
No database changes, no Floor Plan behaviour changes, no transition changes, and no editor redesign.
