The Huntresses wooden fox addon's buff is pointless
There is no point in having the undetectable status effect on huntress since her lullaby still plays. It needs to at least turn off her lullaby or have a different effect. The buff is meaningless otherwise.
Suggestions for a different effect:
- After the Huntress reloads her hatchets, the auras of survivors within 20 meters have their auras revealed to you for 4 seconds.
- After the Huntress reloads her hatchets, survivors within the Huntresses lullaby radius scream and reveal their location for 3 seconds

I actually did get gen yoinked by this addon once. I was right next to Badham main building and the Huntress was chasing someone inside the building while I did a gen outside. I was watching the building for signs of the chase and she reloaded, snuck out behind around a fence, and grabbed me from the other side while I was still thinking she was 20+ meters away.
I'm not denying that it was really stupid to give a killer with a lullaby an undetectable addon, and that a numbers buff won't actually make that better, but there is a smidge of an idea in there somewhere. It's just... generally really dumb and won't work outside the specific situation where a survivor is braving your lullaby, waiting for the TR as a signal to tell them when to run, and there's no LoS. I think this is almost always going to be limited to cases where survivors believe you're occupied with someone else, because Huntress's actual TR is the second smallest in the game and it's just not big enough for survivors to want to play chicken with it.
I really like your idea #2. It might be a little on the powerful side, since the lullaby is so large, but screams are worse than auras and it's a purple addon anyway.

The lullaby is non-directional so it is harder to tell where the huntress is off the lullaby alone.
But undetectable does block aura reading which can be useful to block Kindred showing your aura. There's some other aura reading survivors have that show the killer like OoO, Dark Sense, and the key addon. There's also rancor. It's rather niche, but it is something.

what they could do as well is return the thing she used to do where she stops singing when she's in chase and a few other things, not only would this make her synergize more with Beast of Prey which is her own Teachable, but also with this add on, and just Undetectable in general.

Don't forget hiding your Starstruck with it. Still, the add-on suffers from another issue: the undetectable effect triggers at the start of the reloading animation, not the end. At least you will have some time now (before, not only the time was short, you wasted a good part of it by reloading), but it's actually still less than 30 seconds because of the time the animation takes.
By the way, the Terror Radius isn't directional either, but it changes with the distance you have from the killer, while the Lullaby remains unchanged and can actually be a little deceiving sometimes. You can know the huntress is somewhat close early, but hearing her terror radius normally means she is really close. Without that, you might think she is far away. Really niche, but it's something.

Hard disagree, her lullaby is huge.

They're buffing all the stupid add-ons that won't work anyway, and destroying the effective ones.
