      lookups instead of cached module reference
    • Add new readme.md for EditMode/ and CanvasMode/ directories
    • Update Orbit.toc load order for new directory structure
    • Update Core/readme.md dependency graph

    New: CONTRIBUTE.md

      LiveTogglePlugin() (enable/disable without reload), RegisterBlizzardHider()
    • Core/Init.lua: IsBlizzardHidden/SetBlizzardHidden for tri-state support
    • Core/Init.lua: Apply blizzard hiders on PLAYER_LOGIN
    • PluginMixin: OnCanvasApply() single entry point for canvas mode apply

      live-toggle clean plugins, reload prompt for dirty ones, copy/flush support
    • PluginManager: Tri-state checkbox UI (off/on/hide-blizzard), live-toggle
      detection, tooltip descriptions, skip reload for clean toggles
    • 12 plugins marked liveToggle=true: CombatTimer, Performance, PlayerPower,
      PlayerResources, TargetPower, TargetBuffs, TargetDebuffs, TargetCastBar,
      FocusPower, FocusBuffs, FocusDebuffs, FocusCastBar
    • Blizzard hiders registered: FocusFrame, MenuBar, BagBar

    ComponentSettings Refactoring

    • Compose() helper builds schemas from reusable control presets
    • STATIC_TEXT, DYNAMIC_TEXT, TEXT_NO_COLOR, AURA_GRID, PANDEMIC_GLOW presets
    • Per-control plugin = true flag replaces pluginSettings/pluginSettingKeys
    • Unified override loading: saved -> existing -> plugin -> pending

      texture, text, component positions, icon positions, overrides)
    • GroupCanvasRegistration: PrepareIcons() and ShowCanvasModeIcons() extract
      duplicated party/raid canvas mode logic into shared methods

    • TrackedUpdater: handle active-phase detection for item cooldowns
    • TrackedUpdater: match item spell casts in RegisterSpellCastWatcher
