• 🟢 Hex color (#RRGGBB) support for timestamps/highlights, plus &→§ color code translation

🟡 Changed — Chat Wheel

• 🟡 Reworked open logic: removed the old 3-tick release-delay; a new "openGuard" ensures the wheel only opens once per key press (snappier, more direct)
• 🟡 Removed the alternate "Z key" trigger for the wheel
• 🟡 Chat Wheel can now be fully disabled in settings
• 🟡 Smaller, cleaner wheel: outer radius 130→100, inner 40→35, icon radius 88→68
• 🟡 New opening animation (smooth cubic ease-out grow effect)
• 🟡 Rendering rewritten for performance: scanline-based circle/segment fill instead of pixel-by-pixel anti-aliasing; simplified divider lines
• 🟡 Item icons are now cached per page instead of recalculated every frame
• 🟡 Fixed/adjusted angle math for segment selection — more accurate mouse-to-segment mapping
• 🟡 Segment count per page is now hard-clamped to 2–16, with excess entries auto-trimmed

🔴 Fixed

• 🔴 Keybind conflict: any Ctrl-combo used to open the wheel and buffer typed text — now correctly checks it's the actual configured "open wheel" key
• 🔴 Null/crash protection when loading wheel config with missing or empty pages
• 🔴 More reliable cursor position detection in the chat text field (checks multiple method names + reflection fallback) — fixes text being inserted at the wrong position with modified text field widgets (e.g. LabyMod)
• 🔴 Removed redundant ChatWheelMixinData cache class, merged into ChatWheelClient static fields

📦 Misc

• Mod renamed internally from "Chat Wheel" to "Chat Utilities"
• New client entrypoint ChatUtilitiesClient added alongside ChatWheelClient
