⚠️ IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE
This update introduces a completely rebuilt dynamic language system.
To ensure proper initialization:

• Back up your `messages.yml` and `config.yml` if you have custom text or settings.
• Delete your old messages.yml.
• Delete your old config.yml as well (recommended for clean initialization).
• Restart to generate fresh configuration files.
• Re-apply your customizations afterward.

Skipping these steps may result in "Missing Key" messages or older settings failing to load properly.
