# SessionGoldTracker — Project Notes

## Spec

A small, movable HUD frame for WoW Forever beta (interface 16001, Midnight-era retail API).

### What it does
- Tracks gold earned in the current play session (positive deltas only — spending does not count against the total).
- Displays: session gold earned, gold per hour rate, and time elapsed since session start or last reset.
- Provides a reset button on the frame that zeroes the session counters.
- Provides a `/gt` slash command: `/gt` toggles the frame, `/gt reset` resets the session counters.
- Saves frame position (point, x, y) and lifetime total gold earned across sessions via SavedVariables.
- Does NOT act on items, mail, trades, the auction house, or any unit data.

### What it does NOT do
- No combat log parsing.
- No item selling, deleting, or using.
- No auction house or mail interaction.
- No unit-targeted API calls.

## File Layout

## Build Order
Each step should be independently testable in game before moving on.
1. **Skeleton:** TOC files, empty Lua, SavedVariables declared, no errors on load. ✅ DONE
2. **DB init:** `PLAYER_LOGIN` handler, default DB, log starting gold to chat with `print()`. Verify money is a number. ✅ DONE
3. **Money tracking:** Register `PLAYER_MONEY`, compute delta, accumulate `sessionGross`. Log each delta. ✅ DONE
4. **Frame:** Movable frame with labels for earned gold and per-hour rate. No drag yet. ✅ DONE
5. **Drag and save position:** Drag support + save point on `OnDragStop` + restore on login.
6. **Reset button:** On-frame button that zeroes session counters and resets `sessionStart`.
7. **Slash command:** `/gt` toggle, `/gt reset` wired to the same reset logic.
8. **Lifetime total:** Add `sessionEarned` to `lifetimeTotal` on `PLAYER_LOGOUT`.
9. **Polish:** Format display cleanly, add a tooltip, test across a /reload.
