🛡 Improvements

Load Conflict Prevention

If two staff members try to load the same stage almost simultaneously, the plugin now displays a confirmation warning:

"This stage was just loaded by <player>. Proceed anyway?"

This helps prevent directors from accidentally overwriting each other's work.

Player Notifications

Players affected by a stage load now receive a Title or Action Bar notification informing them that their state has been restored by the director.

Smooth Fade Transition

Loading and previewing stages now use a fade transition for a more cinematic experience.

Spectator Protection

Players in Spectator Mode can now be excluded from stage loading, allowing camera operators to remain unaffected.

GUI Improvements

• Improved navigation.
• Cleaner stage list.
• Better visual feedback.
• Smoother animations.
