Forced to track Azerite Essences, no option to hide, rendering % completion indicators useless

See Silithus in this listing. The % for Silithus, and for the entire world and all progress, is polluted by the Azerite Essence tracking that I cannot find a way to disable, rendering the tracking and %s useless.

I could not figure out where to ask this: There is no contributors channel in the Discord, and no readme, how does one contribute to this project? I was hoping to find a way to hacksaw the Azerite Essence tracking completely out of the addon for personal use, which led me down a bit of a rabbithole.

I would be interested in implementing such a filter myself potentially, or at the very least just crudely cut them out just for personal use (I want to track things one at a time, and never intend to collect Essence ranks).

As best I can tell, the place to do this would be in .contrib, however, I cannot even figure out how .contrib makes its way into the released addon. My best guess right now, is that there is some kind of 'black box' on the repository owner's end that he pushes .contrib through to produce some other, obfuscated file (perhaps db/categories.lua ?) Is that correct? Is it impossible to do custom alterations to the mod without this black box?

Okay I think I've figured this out. My guess was correct, except the black box is probably the .exe in the Parser folder, gonna play around with that...

EDIT: Indeed, and the exe couldn't be easier to use!

Okay, well... :P

EDIT: I will leave this issue open since it is obviously not ideal to require the average user to do this, and it is of course an enormous issue with the out-of-the-box functionality.
