    • stay_open_in_combat: false (was inconsistent: true vs False)
    • close_on_esc: true (was inconsistent: false vs True)

• Fix ESC close functionality and rename setting variable
  • Rename prevent_esc_close → close_on_esc for clarity
  • Fix inverted logic in frame registration (Keyboard, Mouse, Controller, Controls)
  • Fix Settings.lua SetEscValue to not use inverted logic
  • Add migration code for existing user settings
  • Update all references across codebase
  • Rename "Reset All Settings" → "Full Reset" for clarity
    Fixes the issue where ESC key behavior was inconsistent regardless of setting.
    The new variable name and corrected logic ensure frames properly respond to
    ESC key based on user preference.
    The old prevent_esc_close variable had inverted semantics compared to the
    "Enable ESC" checkbox label, causing confusion. With close_on_esc, the logic
    is now consistent: true = frames close with ESC, false = frames don't close.
    Additionally cleaned up refactoring documentation files that are no longer needed.

• Add refactoring completion summary
  Document all completed refactoring work:
  • Sprint 1: Critical API compatibility fixes
  • Sprint 2a: Code duplication elimination
  • Sprint 2b: Naming standardization
    Total: 3 sprints completed, ~135 lines of duplicate code removed,
    performance improved, Patch 12.0.0 ready
• Standardize naming: isMoving -> is_moving
  • Rename addon.isMoving to addon.is_moving for consistency
  • All variables now use snake_case convention
  • Updated in Core.lua, Mouse.lua, and Controller.lua
    Improves code consistency and readability
• Eliminate checkbox visibility duplication in Controls.lua
  • Create set_controls_visibility() helper function
  • Replace 3 blocks of identical Show/Hide calls (~50 lines each)
  • Reduces code from ~150 lines to ~15 lines
  • Improves maintainability - changes only need to be made in one place
    Savings: ~135 lines of duplicated code eliminated
• Sprint 1: Critical API compatibility fixes
  • Add nil-checks for GetActionTexture() to prevent crashes
  • Add error handling (pcall) for all addon integrations (ElvUI, Bartender, Dominos, OPie, BindPad)
  • Cache keybind patterns globally instead of recreating on every button (performance improvement)
  • Initialize pattern cache once on PLAYER_LOGIN
  • Add TODO comment for UIDropDownMenu migration (deprecated but still works)
    This ensures Patch 12.0.0 compatibility and prevents crashes from external addon errors.
• Centralize UI helpers
