## [1.0.9] - YYYY-MM-DD
### Added
- "Plater Integration" button in DotMaster GUI footer: Appears if the "DotMaster Integration" Plater mod is not detected, allowing users to inject it.
- Functionality for the "Plater Integration" button to inject the pre-defined "DotMaster Integration" Plater mod string into Plater using `Plater.ImportScriptString`.
- Safety check within the "DotMaster Integration" Plater mod: The mod's hooks will now only execute if the DotMaster addon itself is loaded and enabled, preventing errors if DotMaster is removed or disabled. This check is injected when DotMaster updates/installs the Plater mod.

### Changed
- Refined the Plater mod injection process: DotMaster settings are now pushed to the Plater mod after a short delay post-injection, and the GUI footer status is updated more reliably.

### Fixed
- Resolved Lua compilation errors in Plater (`unexpected symbol near 'if'`) that occurred when injecting the DotMaster presence safety check. The check is now correctly placed within the function bodies of the Plater mod's hooks.
