SteamVault v2.5.1 - Minor Update

SteamVault v2.5.1 — Decryption Key Pipeline Overhaul

Self-contained single executable — no installation, no .NET runtime required. Just download and run.

---

What's New

Multi-Source Decryption Key Pipeline

Keys are now resolved from 6 independent sources simultaneously, dramatically improving coverage for both new and existing releases:

1. Local database (depotkeys.json — shipped with the app, always takes priority)
2. Persistent API cache (keys_cache.json — keys found during previous sessions)
3. GitHub ManifestHub (bsinwhg/ManifestHub — synced automatically)
4. Community mirror repos — additional community-maintained alternatives scraped to fill gaps
5. Live api.steamcmd.net — per-depot direct lookups via Steam's public CDN
6. Smart derivation — AppAccessToken-as-key fallback, same-app cross-depot key sharing

Community Key Mirrors

Additional community depots.json mirrors are scraped automatically when the primary ManifestHub database is incomplete. Keys are cached for 24 hours with graceful fallback.

Batch Parallel Key Resolution

Missing depot keys are resolved in parallel (up to 8 concurrent requests) instead of one-at-a-time. Download generation is significantly faster, especially for games with many depots.

Key Extraction from Depot Discovery

Decryption keys embedded in the /v1/info API response (which also provides manifest IDs) are now captured — keys that were previously downloaded but silently discarded.

Smart Key Derivation

• AppAccessToken as key: Some games use their app token as the depot decryption key — this is now tried automatically
• Cross-depot sharing: If all known depots for an app share the same key, it's applied to unknown depots of the same app
• Extended scanning: Depot ID ranges expanded from 0–30/100–200 to 0–99/100–999

Discord Integration

• Quick-join button — bottom-right corner of the main window, Discord purple with smooth hover scale animation using Discord.png icon
• Discord section in Settings — invite link, server info, and a styled "Join Discord Server" button
• Request missing game keys at: discord.gg/kxpRNzqnsX

Key Source Statistics

The Key & Token Database section in Settings now shows:

• Per-source key counts (Local / Synced / Live API / Community / Derived)
• Total unique keys and app tokens
• "Rescan Community Sources" button to force-refresh mirrors
• "Update Database" button syncs all sources (GitHub + mirrors)
