* FIX - honor configured camera look control
Camera focus was owned by hard-coded Space DOM handlers, bypassing Config.Phone.HoldToLook. Move focus input to the FiveM client and add a bounded scripted-camera orbit so selfie mode can rotate while the configured control is held.
* FIX - preserve camera movement passthrough
* FIX - restore Phone Configurator startup warning
* FIX - keep camera modifier input readable
Replace the unavailable workspace-only build_frontend.bat hint with the frontend pnpm commands shipped in the GitHub source tree. Link the pushed frontend development guide and keep the local-only script name out of the startup diagnostic through regression coverage.
* FIX - repair inventory metadata and ESX contracts
Use the stable core_inventory metadata setter and validate the complete inventory adapter contract after provider bridges load. Preserve the real ESX configuration error instead of cascading into a missing RegisterUsableItem failure.
* FIX - clarify phone opening without SIM
* FIX - harden inventory and device contracts
Validate SIM number configuration before item handling, preserve QB metadata mutation contracts, and propagate phone-open failures to callers. Extend regression coverage for inventory bridges and device bootstrap errors.
* FIX - resolve reported phone interaction issues
Stop game-input passthrough while NUI text fields are focused and add an independent hold-to-look option. Propagate SIM number formatting to the frontend, migrate configured currency symbols to utf8mb4, and clarify SkyRide, VaultX, and DarkChat behavior with focused contract coverage.
* FIX - detect missing packaged phone UI
Validate the generated NUI entrypoint, its referenced assets, and required static media when the resource starts. Print an actionable server-console warning for incomplete source archives, package phone sounds through the manifest, and cover the detection contract with Lua regressions.
Compare the fxmanifest version against the latest published sky_phone release tag and report update, current, ahead, and failure states without blocking resource startup.
Document the startup check and cover the HTTP and version comparison behavior with a focused Lua test.
Enable verbose tracing for custom apps and wire diagnostics through the stack. Sets Config.CustomApps.Debug = true, adds a debug_custom_app logger exposed as SkyPhoneApps.Debug, and instruments client and shared compatibility code (registration, normalization, provider exports, catalog sync, lifecycle hooks, resource stop, and app add/update/remove) with structured debug messages. Frontend sends a debug flag with the catalog and will call back to NUI (custom-app:catalog-debug) when debug is enabled. Tests updated to enable debug and assert fixBlur preservation and NUI catalog ACK handling. This provides detailed traces for exports, registration, catalog sync and lifecycle events.
Remove the static vanilla payphone coordinate list so configured prop models are detected directly in the streamed world. Add vector4-based custom locations that spawn the selected custom prop, and validate detected booth models and player proximity server-side.
Disable control groups 0, 1, and 2 while the phone cursor owns focus so movement, combat, camera, and mapped actions such as hands-up cannot leak through. Update the focus contract test to verify every group.
Compute a more accurate front (selfie) camera transform and adjust front-camera params (FOV, distance, height). Replace apply_rear_camera_view with a unified apply_camera_view that selects the correct view_mode for ped/vehicle. Add block-look support to SkyPhoneFocus (Resolve now returns block_look) and make ApplyGameInputControls accept a block_look flag; main.lua tracks phone_block_look and passes it when disabling controls. Update related tests to reflect new camera math and input behavior.
Add Config.Phone.AllowMovement and route it through the central focus resolver. Keep camera and attention overlays authoritative over movement input, document the setting, and cover the focus-state combinations.
Company service lines were validated as full-length SIM numbers, which rejected short configured numbers such as 911 and stopped dependent server modules from initializing.
Accept non-empty service numbers up to the configured SIM length, resolve configured service lines before direct SIM dialing for phone and payphone calls, and load Companies and SIM before Phone. Add focused normalization boundary tests.
Implement SendNotification compatibility for lb-phone: validate app IDs, normalize and validate title/content, check provider/registered apps and reserved IDs, and dispatch a notification NUI message. Register the export and a compatibility alias. Update client tests to assert successful delivery to bundled apps and proper rejection for unknown app IDs.
