feat: let players toggle character mail visibility

[ryanbarlow97]

Players can now hide their active character from the mail recipient list with /rpcharacter mail off, restore it with on, or toggle it by omitting the argument. The setting belongs to the character, persists across logouts and restarts, and defaults to listed for existing characters.

Filters saved and live recipients, including the online fallback. Wardrobe texture refreshes cannot reintroduce an opted-out character. Already-sent mail is unaffected.

Validation: Java 21, mvn -o -q verify passed (223 tests). Regression coverage includes command validation, persistence, legacy defaults, live/offline filtering, re-enabling, and wardrobe refreshes. No live-server test performed.

Companion TF-Minecraft/BirdMessenger#26 rechecks eligibility at send confirmation and returns the letter if the recipient opted out after the picker opened. Deploy both changes for the complete behavior.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added /rpcharacter mail to show or hide the active character in BirdMessenger’s recipient list. Use on or off to set the preference directly.
  • Characters appear in the recipient list by default. The preference persists across logouts and restarts, and hiding a character does not affect mail already sent.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Characters gain a mail-listing preference that defaults to enabled and persists across logouts and restarts. A new player command changes the preference. The mail recipient directory excludes characters that are not alive or not listed. Command completion, documentation, and tests also change.

Changes

Mail Listing Preference

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Character preference and persistence src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/objects/RPCharacter.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/database/Database.java, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/mail/MailRecipientDirectoryTest.java	Characters gain a mail-listing flag that defaults to true. Database loading treats a stored value of "false" as opted out, ignoring case. Saving stores the preference as a string. Tests verify persistence and its effect on directory listing.
Mail preference command and completion src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/command/CharCommand.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/utils/CommandTabCompleter.java, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/command/CharacterMailCommandTest.java, README.md	The player command toggles or explicitly sets the active character’s mail-listing flag, saves the player, and reports the result. Usage text, completion, tests, and README documentation cover the command.
Recipient directory filtering src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/mail/MailRecipientDirectory.java	Directory updates, disk loading, live listing, and target conversion exclude characters that are not alive or not mail-listed.

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bc8a5

No actionable defect is established in this change, so it is mergeable. The PR context notes that complete stale-picker protection requires deploying the companion BirdMessenger confirmation check.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bc8a5

The new preference is filtered across saved and live recipient lists, but a failed save can leave an opt-out ineffective after restart. Complete protection against sending from an already-open recipient picker also depends on a separately deployed mail change.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: An opt-out can be acknowledged and applied to the live directory without being durably saved, allowing restart visibility to differ from the player's confirmed choice. The write-failure mechanism predates this PR, but this PR makes it consequential for the new visibility preference.
• Medium · security · inferred: Directory filtering cannot revoke a recipient already selected in another plugin. The stated confirmation-time safeguard requires a companion deployment; enforcement for a deployment containing only this PR is not established.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A player's choice affects their active character's visibility in the server's recipient list. Save failure can affect that character after restart; a stale selection could affect mail delivery to that character. No new infrastructure privilege or network boundary is shown.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A save failure after an off command can be hidden by the success message. The current directory may exclude the character, while a later restart derives visibility from a file that did not durably record false. No such failure was demonstrated in a live deployment.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Recipient-list conversion enforces mail visibility, but the separate public location lookup does not check it. That lookup is outside the changed ranges; without the external consumer, there is no evidence that this PR newly exposes an opted-out character's location through it.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Successful save and list filtering are exercised, but interruption, failed persistence, cross-plugin confirmation, and a live-server rollout remain unverified for the new preference.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make the preference save outcome visible to the command and acknowledge durable opt-out only after the character file is successfully committed; exercise failure and restart recovery.
• proposed — Verify the companion plugin's confirmation-time recheck against a character that opts out after picker selection, and coordinate deployment and rollback of both plugins.

_{A rabbit checks the mail list twice,
Then flips a switch with paws so nice.
“On” lets listed letters through,
“Off” keeps new mail lists clear too.
Old letters still arrive as planned,
While carrot crumbs fall from my hand.}
