Changes (0.14.0)

Engine Changes (0.14.0)

• Added EasingTracker, a reusable helper that tracks eased progress, deltas, and completion state for any easing function.
• Replaced eased_step_function closure with the new SequenceEaser, enabling eased iteration over arbitrary sequences while reporting added, removed, and total elements for each step.
• Renamed CharacterGroup center related groupings to CENTER_TO_OUTSIDE / OUTSIDE_TO_CENTER.
• CharacterGroup, CharacterSort, and ColorSort themselves were relocated from the Terminal module into terminaltexteffects.utils.argutils, and the terminal now imports them from there so both the CLI and the engine share a single definition of the enums.
• terminaltexteffects.utils.argutils introduces dedicated argument-type helpers for CharacterGroup, CharacterSort, and ColorSort.
• Canvas now exposes a text_center Coord computed from text_center_row/text_center_column, eliminating redundant per-call calculations when effects or sort helpers need the true center of the anchored text.
• Center-to-outside/Outside-to-center CharacterGroup calculations within Terminal now measure distance from the text center instead of the canvas center, so middle-out and outside-in sorts stay aligned with the rendered text even when it is offset on the canvas.

Effects Changes (0.14.0)

• Highlight - Simplified effect logic by offloading to SequenceEaser.
• Sweep - Simplified effect logic by offloading to SequenceEaser.
