Do Not Release

DoNotRelease is a lightweight addon that helps prevent accidental spirit releases in dungeons and raids by adding a clear visual warning and an optional intent check before releasing.

Designed to be Midnight-compliant, the addon is fully visual and input-gated — no combat automation, no protected action manipulation.
