DoorsReloaded

This release adds Minecraft 26.2 support and improves configuration safety, Fabric gameplay permissions, door interactions, and the update checker on both platforms.

✨ New Features & Changes

• ✅ Minecraft 26.2 Support - Updated both the Fabric/Quilt mod and Paper/Purpur/Folia plugin for Minecraft 26.2.
• ✅ Safer Fabric Configuration - Invalid configuration files are left untouched, and failed reloads preserve the previous settings. Valid configurations retain their comments and extra keys.
• ✅ Safe Legacy Configuration Migration - Legacy .properties files are converted without deleting the original. Previously renamed properties files are backed up before recovery.
• ✅ Fabric Gameplay Permissions - Double doors, knocking, iron doors, and iron trapdoors now respect permission grants and denials, including explicit denials for operators.
• ✅ Reliable Double Door Interactions - Fabric double doors synchronize only after successful block use, respecting canceled interactions and sneaking item use. Double-door auto-close also respects the permission decision made when opening the door.
• ✅ Knocking Behavior Fixes - Fabric knocking is restricted to survival and adventure mode, and the configured knocking sound category is now loaded correctly.
• ✅ Folia Update Checker Fix - Fixed the startup and recurring update-checker scheduler failures reported in issue #8. Player notifications now use the player's entity scheduler.
• ✅ More Reliable Update Checks - Both platforms select the highest compatible stable Modrinth release for the running Minecraft version and platform. Disabled checks make no requests, and reloads and shutdown clean up polling.
