• Fix UI not refreshing in realtime (#6)
  • Fix stale UI: invalidate NativeAPI session cache on updates
    The NativeAPI view/source cache held Blizzard session snapshots for 500ms
    while Skada's Tick timer fires every 250ms. Every other tick reused the
    previous snapshot, so bar values, totals and the DPS feed froze for half
    a second at a time even though we were 'refreshing' 4x per second.
  • Shorten the cache TTL to 100ms so a missed event still recovers fast.
  • Add NativeAPI:InvalidateCache() that wipes the results table.
  • Call it from DAMAGE_METER_COMBAT_SESSION_UPDATED and
    DAMAGE_METER_CURRENT_SESSION_UPDATED so the next Tick() always reads a
    fresh C_DamageMeter snapshot after Blizzard signals a change.
  • Fix stale UI: always re-sort bars after dataset update
    BarDisplay.mod:Update used a 'lazy sort' guard that compared
    win.bargroup.barCount captured at the start of the function with the same
    field read again at the end. barCount is only assigned inside
    barListPrototype:SortBars() (SpecializedLibBars-1.0.lua), and nothing
    inside the Update body touches it, so the two reads were always equal.
    The guard therefore collapsed to 'sort only if maxvalue changed or
    ordersort is set', which suppressed re-sorts when:
    • rankings below the top bar changed (top value unchanged)
    • new bars were created via mod:CreateBar / NewCounterBar
    • stale bars were removed via RemoveBar
      Newly added bars sat unpositioned until the top value happened to move,
      making the window look frozen mid-combat.
      Remove the guard and always sort. Sorting a few dozen bars per tick is
      negligible cost and matches the pre-optimization behaviour.
  • Apply 'Update frequency' option without /reload
    ScheduleRepeatingTimer was only called once at OnEnable using the current
    value of db.profile.updatefrequency, so changing the slider in the
    Options panel did nothing until the addon was reloaded.
    Store the timer handle as self.tickTimer and add
    Skada:ApplyUpdateFrequency() which cancels and reschedules it. Wire the
    Options setter to call it after persisting the new value.
