PlasmaZones v1.8.1

Added

• Paint-to-span zone modifier: hold a modifier while dragging to progressively paint across zones, window snaps to bounding rectangle on release ([#94], [#96])
• Configurable "Paint-to-span modifier" in KCM Zones tab (default Alt+Meta)
• Renamed "Multi-zone modifier" to "Proximity snap modifier" for clarity

Changed

• Replaced middleClickMultiZone bool setting with zoneSpanModifier DragModifier enum
• Config migration: users who had middle-click multi-zone disabled keep zone span disabled after upgrade
• Extracted prepareHandlerContext(), computeCombinedZoneGeometry(), and zoneIdsToStringList() helpers in drag handling (DRY)
• Added setOsdStyleInt range validation

Removed

• Dead skipSnapModifier setting (fully scaffolded but never consumed in drag handling)

Fixed

• Missing restoreWindowsToZonesOnLoginChanged signal in KCM defaults and settings sync
• 12 missing signal emissions in KCM onSettingsChanged()
• Painted zone state not cleared on dragStarted() causing stale highlights
• Modifier conflict warning using static bool instead of per-instance member
