🚀 What's New in v2.6

Search Everything: Added a unified real-time search bar placed prominently above the live preview to instantly filter across all settings (Style, Content, Reorder, System).
Dynamic Tab Expansion: Settings categories automatically expand during an active search for seamless discovery and cleanly restore once the search query is cleared.

Custom Calendar Client: Choose your preferred installed calendar app (Google Calendar, Proton Calendar, Simple Calendar, etc.) or launch system calendar events directly.
In-Widget Permission Prompts: Tapping calendar or step count items when permissions are not yet granted now guides you directly to the relevant permission dialog.
Timezone & Query Boundary Fixes: Resolved all-day event query boundaries and UTC timezone calculations for accurate upcoming event tracking.

High-Contrast Category Tabs: Redesigned category navigation tabs in Light Mode with bold primary indicators and crisp pill borders for immediate visual clarity.
Adaptive Preview Wallpaper: Added dynamic light and dark wallpaper backdrops that sync seamlessly with active presets and theme modes.
Typographic Contrast Boost: Upgraded light theme primary, secondary, date, and alarm text contrast to deep 900/800 tones.
Pixel-Perfect Alignment: Aligned widget background fill and outline containers across all 11 font layout styles to prevent preview boundary collapses.

Single-Responsibility Architecture: Modularized AwidgetProvider into focused components: CalendarFetcher, SystemStatsFetcher, TasksFetcher, and WidgetRenderer.
Lean Dependency Footprint: Stripped unused WorkManager dependencies and legacy update workers, reducing APK size and background resource overhead.
Robustness Fixes: Resolved midnight step count tracking glitches, guarded weather parsing against malformed network responses, corrected bg_opacity preference parsing, and restored the font_style preference key.
