PlasmaZones v1.9.5

Added

• Zones can overlap Plasma panels set to autohide/dodge windows ([#148])
• Force-end drag on mouse button release for safer drag lifecycle
• Proximity snap always active by default (no modifier required)

Fixed

• Compositor freeze: Remove processEvents() calls that deadlock with Wayland compositor during drag ([#152])
• Compositor stall on layout change: Hide overlay/zone selector before layout switch in zone selector drop path, skip heavy QML updates for hidden windows
• Snap assist Escape not working: Keep KGlobalAccel Escape shortcut registered through snap assist phase; add snapAssistDismissed signal for proper cleanup
• Snap assist not dismissing: Dismiss snap assist on any window zone change (navigation, snap, unsnap, float toggle)
• Snap assist wrong window: Use full windowId (not stableId) for per-instance floating/geometry tracking
• Snap assist Escape handling, dismiss on new drag, zone selector layout sync
• Paint-to-snap raycasting and shader highlight for multi-zone selection
• Mouse-button zone activation now latches until drag ends (no flicker)
• Shortcut clear button resets to default instead of empty
• Inverted panel-hiding check for usable geometry
• KCM linker errors from missing kcfg sources

Changed

• Remove 66 dead code items across 48 files
• Remove dead multiZoneEnabled code
