- New UI: Updated button design to match Clarity Design System (Metropolis font, standard colors).
- Smart Restore: Now restores the exact pixel dimensions of your editor and sidebars, preventing layout collapse.
- Draggable & Persistent: Move the button anywhere! It remembers its position even after you close the page.
- Window Awareness: The button automatically repositions itself if you resize the window so it never gets lost off-screen.
