• Move media files into src/media/
• Rewrite CLAUDE.md with accurate load order, schema config, and layout system
• Add pcall protection to hook dispatch and fix friendly plate visibility
  Wrap RP:Call in pcall so a plugin error no longer breaks the entire
  nameplate render chain.
  Scope hideFriendlyInInstance to dungeons and raids only — BGs, arenas,
  and delves now keep friendly plates visible. Rename the setting label
  to match.
  Also fix icon frame factory to use plain textures instead of
  BackdropTemplate (taint from SetCooldownFromDurationObject).
• Skip threat coloring on player-controlled units
  Threat colors are meaningless in PvP. UnitPlayerControlled covers
  players, pets, totems, and guardians so they keep their class/reaction
  colors in combat.
• Fix cast bar vanishing on back-to-back casts and backdrop taint error
  Clear the stale fade-out OnUpdate handler in UpdateCastBar before
  showing a new cast. Without this, the handler fires one more frame,
  sees _fadeOut == nil, and hides the bar that was just shown.
  Replace BackdropTemplate borders in health bar and cast bar with plain
  edge textures so secret health/cast values no longer propagate into
  Backdrop.lua arithmetic.
• Fix widget-only nameplates disappearing on recycled frames
  Make Blizzard UnitFrame suppression flag-based so it can be toggled
  off when a frame is reused for a widget-only unit. Restores UnitFrame
  alpha on widget-only init to prevent the permanent SetAlpha hook from
  hiding Blizzard's widget display.
• Fix cast bar disappearing on recycled nameplates
  Clear the fade OnUpdate when stopping the cast bar without a fade,
  preventing an orphaned handler from hiding the bar on the next frame
  after the plate is reused for a new casting unit.
• Add scrolling to options tab panel and increase frame height
• Add per-character profile system via AceDB-3.0
  Replace manual SavedVariables handling with AceDB-3.0 for profile
  management. RP.db now points to aceDB.profile, keeping all existing
  plugin code unchanged. Profiles tab in options allows switching,
  creating, copying, deleting, and resetting profiles.
  Also: block options UI in combat, guard StopCastBar against nil
  config during AceDB logout cleanup.
• Fix passive-to-hostile layout not updating on faction change
  The frameType guard skipped UpdatePlate when only attackability changed
  (e.g. neutral ENEMY_NPC becoming hostile ENEMY_NPC). Always update on
  UNIT_FACTION/UNIT_FLAGS since these events are infrequent.
• Fix BackdropTemplate taint from anchor-derived secret dimensions
  SetAllPoints and two-point anchors resolve width/height through the
  tainted nameplate position chain, producing secret values that
  BackdropTemplate's SetupTextureCoordinates cannot do arithmetic on.
  Use explicit SetSize with clean config values instead.
• Improve instance handling, level display, and name resolution
  • Hide level text for units at or above max level (>= instead of ==)
  • Add hideInInstance option to ClassificationIndicator (default on)
  • Rename hideFriendlyInDungeon to hideFriendlyInInstance; broaden
    scope to all instance types, not just party/raid
  • Retry name update for units summoned mid-combat whose name is not
    yet resolved when the nameplate first appears
• Revert friendly hitbox settings — not achievable in Midnight API
• Add separate friendly hitbox settings and per-type debug overlay
  Adds friendlyHitboxWidth/Height config for future use. Debug overlay
  now shows yellow for enemy plates and blue for friendly/passive, sized
  to their respective configured hitbox dimensions.
  Per-type click area sizing is not achievable in Midnight — SetNamePlateHitTestInsets
  is effectively binary (negative fills outer frame, positive kills clicks).
  Friendly insets remain at -10000. Settings are marked NYI in the UI.
  Also fixes widget-only nameplate interference and cleans up no-op
  lifecycle hook stubs.
• Add ClassificationIndicator plugin and skip widget-only nameplates
  Shows elite/rareelite/rare/worldboss icons to the left of the health
  bar using the left anchor system. Includes debug mode that cycles all
  four classification types across visible plates.
  Skip InitPlate entirely for UnitNameplateShowsWidgetsOnly units so
  custom Blizzard widget nameplates are left untouched.
• Hide level indicator on passive units and filter bare-number NPC titles
• Move ExecuteIndicator next to health plugins in load order
• Update TOC, healthbar texture, title logic, and editor settings
  Add AbsorbShield.lua to TOC load order. Store health bar fill as named
  texture for absorb bar anchoring. Show titles on friendly units instead
  of only players. Update todo list and Lua globals.
• Fix absorb shield display using Plater's Midnight approach
  Use heal prediction calculator with two-phase mode (Default for health,
  WithAbsorbs for max) and proper clamp modes. Anchor absorb bar to health
  fill texture edge with synced width. Fix event handler parameter bug
  that prevented dynamic updates.
• Update name text on UNIT_NAME_UPDATE
  UnitName() returns "Unknown" when the server hasn't sent the name yet,
  causing stale text on nameplates until reload.
• Re-scan quest objectives on QUEST_LOG_UPDATE
  Quest icons stayed on nameplates after completing objectives because
  UpdatePlate only ran on NAME_PLATE_UNIT_ADDED. Listen for quest log
  changes and re-evaluate all visible plates.
• Fix quest indicator for completed objectives and support multi-quest mobs
  Hide quest icon when all objectives are complete (e.g. 15/15).
  Show one icon per incomplete objective when a mob participates in
  multiple quests.
• Add guild/NPC title text plugin
• Add level text plugin and update todo list
• Add layout system, minimap button, custom icon, and plugin updates
  • Add right-slot layout system (Layout.lua) for anchoring icons
  • Add LibDBIcon minimap button with custom addon icon
  • Convert logo to TGA for TOC and minimap icon
  • Add RaidMarker plugin
  • Refactor CrowdControl and QuestIndicator to use slot system
  • Update TargetIndicator to respond to layout changes
  • Add LibStub, CallbackHandler, LibDataBroker, LibDBIcon libs
  • Add .gitignore
• Initial commit
