Description

  ---------------------
  SIMPLETALENTWARNING
  ---------------------

SimpleTalentWarning is a lightweight, Blizzard-style addon that reminds you
to check your current talent loadout when a ready check starts.

The goal is simple:
- Show your current talent loadout clearly
- Help prevent starting with the wrong talents
- Stay local, lightweight, and non-intrusive
- Keep the Blizzard look and feel

If you have ever joined a pull, key, or boss with the wrong build selected,
SimpleTalentWarning is made for exactly that moment.

  DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
  -------------------

SimpleTalentWarning is intentionally focused.

It does not try to decide whether your talents are correct.
It does not switch talents.
It does not check food, flasks, oils, runes, durability, or gear sets.
It does not announce anything to your group.

It simply tells you, clearly and loudly, what your current talent loadout is
when a ready check starts.

Everything is built to:
- Be stable
- Be predictable
- Stay lightweight
- Avoid protected or risky interactions

  ---------------
  COMPATIBILITY
  ---------------

• Built using modern Blizzard APIs
• Designed for modern Retail World of Warcraft
• Local-only behavior by design
• Uses LibSharedMedia for optional shared fonts and sounds
