-- OmenSync.lua
--
-- Addon-channel sync for party/raid threat values.
--
-- Why this exists
-- ---------------
-- Omen reads threat data via UnitDetailedThreatSituation(unit, mob).
-- That API only returns data the server pushes to the client. On the
-- Conquest of Azeroth realm (Vol'jin server) party-member threat is
-- not pushed — UnitDetailedThreatSituation("party1", "target")
-- returns nil even mid-combat, so Omen draws only the local player's
-- bar. The same Omen install on Bronzebeard (classic+) shows the
-- whole party because that core does push the data.
--
-- This module fills the gap by sending each player's own player+pet
-- threat over SendAddonMessage("OMSYNC", …, "PARTY"|"RAID"). Receivers
-- store incoming values keyed by senderGUID and serve them to
-- updatethreat() in Omen.lua as a fallback whenever the client API
-- returns nil. When the server *does* push data (Bronzebeard) the
-- API path wins and the sync values are simply unused — making this
-- file a no-op on healthy realms.
--
-- Wire format (pipe-separated, terse to stay under the 255-byte
-- AddonMessage payload cap):
--     <subjectGUID>|<mobGUID>|<threatValue>|<isTanking 0|1>
-- The sender's own name comes from CHAT_MSG_ADDON's `sender` arg, so
-- it doesn't need to be in the message; we only need the subject GUID
-- because each player broadcasts both their player and pet GUIDs.
--
-- Both peers must run this fork (or any addon that emits/consumes the
-- "OMSYNC" prefix). Other Omen installs ignore the prefix silently.
