Performance & stability pass (issue #34 + audit)
General:
- DisableAll resets only skills active in the previous round instead of all loaded skills (~89ms -> ~5ms)
- Removed per-tick LINQ/allocations, O(1) HUD skill lookups, translation substitutions moved to load time
- ForceFullUpdate creates the network service once per broadcast; view-angle guard only skips a genuine (0,0,0) placeholder
- Debug hooks/logging only active when DebugMode is enabled (single reused writer)
- Player skill state unified to a single collection (fixes a rare disconnect race)
- Gamedata signatures resolved lazily/isolated; hardened tick/transmit paths against invalid handles
- Description HUD honours always-show / -1 duration consistently across all assignment paths
Skills:
- Jester: fixed the no-damage effect leaking after a mid-round skill change (Thief/Deactivator)
- Jackal: fixed trail entities accumulating over a round
- Falcon Eye / Third Eye / Spectator: camera state cleared on disable
Also: added missing translation keys as untranslated markers across language files.

- Baseball:
-- Disabled teammate killing.
Bump module version to 1.2.1.b7 and change SkillAction to return the invoked method result (object?) or null when not found. Add and normalize many localization entries across multiple language files (aimlock, homingnades, hotbomb, illiterate, illusionist, magneticdecoy, magneto, miner, planter_planting, teleporter chance string, throwingknife, weightless, wildthrow, smoker, etc.) and clean up duplicate/obsolete entries. Update server plugin binaries and configs (WASDMenuAPI.dll, jRandomSkills.dll, config.json, skillsInfo.json) and remove playersLanguage.json.
# Updates & Fixes
- New Commands: Added `css_bot_place` which teleports a bot to the player's position with optional godmode and translation support.
- Miner (New Skill): Added a new skill that allows for detonating HE grenades near enemies.
- Bomb Abort Support: Introduced `BombAbortplant` support across `ISkill` and event registration; added handlers for aborting plants in Planter, ChillOut, and other skills.
- System (Rework & Optimization):
- Reworked player event dispatching to call `SkillAction` once per distinct active skill, reducing redundant invocations.
- Switched timing logic to use `Server.CurrentTime` (replacing `EngineTime`).
- Added extensive null and validity guards for player and pawn objects.
- Skill-specific Changes:
- AimLock: Fixed vector/validation issues and updated config defaults (cooldown, duration, and offset).
- AreaReaper: Now uses `BombPlantedHere` state and includes `OnTick` alerts.
- ChillOut & Planter: Improved tracking for planting players with center-print and HUD updates.
- HomingNades: Simplified callbacks and fixed detonation timing.
- Muhammed: Tweaked explosion delay handling and reduced friendly fire damage.
- Core & Utils:
- TraceRay: Implemented `CS2TraceRay` for skills to prevent activation through doors or on dropped weapons.
- Dependencies: Bumped `CounterStrikeSharp.API` to 1.0.364 and `MaxMind.Db` to 5.0.0.
- Bug Fixes: Resolved multiple HUD/print update issues and fixed various translation keys.

Various code style and nullability improvements were made throughout the plugin.
