## 🛠 Fixes & Improvements

### 1. Stability & Bug Fixes
* **Forbidden Action Resolved:** Implemented a "Hard-Gate" safety check that detects when the Guild Control window is open. This permanently fixes the `ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN` error when saving rank changes.
* **Arithmetic Error Resolved:** Fixed the `SecureScrollTemplates.lua:230` crash by explicitly handling nil scroll offsets.
* **Combat Lockdown:** Integrated checks to ensure the addon remains dormant during combat, preventing UI errors during intense encounters.
* **Chat-Freeze Fix:** Rebuilt the command registration to prevent the legacy API bugs from locking up the player's chat box.

### 2. Performance Optimization
* **Force-Painter Engine:** Replaced the legacy throttle with a 0.1s painter engine. This ensures colors stay visible even when the Blizzard UI tries to overwrite them with white text.
* **Zero-Idle Parenting:** The addon logic is now parented to the Guild Frame, meaning it consumes **0% CPU** unless your roster is actually open on your screen.
* **Universal Localization:** Automatically supports all game languages (DE, FR, ES, RU, etc.) using internal client tables.

### 3. Visual & UI Features
* **NEW: Interface Options Panel:** Fully integrated into the **Interface > AddOns** menu.
* **Dedicated UI Buttons:** Added physical **ON**, **OFF**, and **Reload UI** buttons within the settings panel.
* **Interactive Teal Popups:** Added a custom link dialog via `/gcc links` featuring seafoam-colored buttons to toggle between GitHub and CurseForge URLs.
* **Custom Branding:** Updated the UI header and login greeting to include **Gold-text credits** and the **Feb 26** launch date.
