• Fixed: MiniMessage and prefix rendering issues.

• MiniMessage formatting now properly renders in chat.
• Prefix display restored.
• Players were instantly kicked upon rejoining after an AFK timeout due to outdated activity timestamps. Activity now refreshes automatically on rejoin to prevent repeat kicks.

• Added: Quality-of-life features for admins and operators.

• Version update notifier: Sends a friendly join notification (with a clickable link) when a newer version is available on SpigotMC. Controlled by updates.enabled and permission afkcontrol.admin (customizable via updates.notifyPermission).
• Admin Kick Command — /afkcontrol kick <player> <reason>: Confirmation-based flow with a clickable [CONFIRM KICK] button, informative hover text, colorized console logs, and tab completion for player names and common reasons. Permission: afkcontrol.kick (included under afkcontrol.admin).
• AFK Control Panel Toggle: The Status item is now toggleable (left/right click) to enable/disable AFK checks, with feedback to the player and console.

• Improved: Stability, clarity, and cross-version behavior.

• Cleaner YAML handling and safer configuration fallbacks.
• Cross-version stability: modernized MiniMessage/legacy color rendering works seamlessly from 1.8 → 1.21.
• Panel layout polish: clearer timing icons and richer hover details.
• AFKManager refactor: clearer, version-safe structure for tracking player activity and AFK pool regions; cleaner API for toggles, selections, and boundaries; beginner-friendly docs throughout.
