Arena Setup Mode Now Blocks Duel Requests
Players in setup mode can no longer be bothered by duel requests. We've added full protections:

• ✅ When entering setup mode:
  - All existing duel requests to/from the player are cleared
  - Duel requests cannot be sent to OR from them while editing
• Automatically unblocked when exiting setup mode
• Fully integrated with GUI, tab completion, and interaction-based requests

Duel Lifecycle Now Fully Guarded
Every state of the duel lifecycle is now smartly enforced:

• ❌ Players already in a duel can't send/receive requests
• ❌ Target already in a duel? Request blocked
• ✅ Reverse request? Duel starts automatically
• ❌ Players in setup mode can't send/receive requests
• ⏳ Expiry system clears old requests every 5s (configurable)

Setup Wand Is Now Indestructible
Admins can't accidentally lose their setup wand — no matter what they try.

• Drops blocked
• Wand removed from death drops + re-given on respawn
• Protected from `/clear`, hotbar moves, creative trash, container moves
• InventoryCloseEvent monitors for deletion and re-issues the wand silently

Teleportation: Async, Cancel-Aware, and Safe
Teleport handling is smarter than ever:

• Async chunk loading before any teleport happens
• ⏳ Delays respected for admin, duel, or return types
• Cancel on:
  - Movement
  - Interaction
  - Damage (skips if hit was fatal)
• Teleport sessions clean up safely
• ✅ Sends appropriate cancellation reason to the player
• Unloads chunks if canceled (non-duel types only)
