📜 2. Chat Notifications & Security

• Pending Activation: Broadcasts "[Name] is now ready for adoption! Another player can right-click them to claim."
• Claim Transfer: Updates entity owner UUID to the new player, clearing old sitting/guarding states.
• Damage Protection: If an adoption-pending dog takes environmental or combat damage, adoption state automatically cancels to prevent griefing during transfers.

🛡️ 3. Personality Safeguards & Stability (v4.24.4+ / v5.0.19+)

When adopting pre-existing vanilla dogs or dogs imported from older worlds:

• Automatic Personality Assignment: If the dog does not have an initialized personality NBT tag when claimed, the system automatically assigns a random personality (WolfPersonality.random) prior to calculating owner stats.
• Stat Modifier Fallback: WolfStatManager enforces a null guard (WolfPersonality.NORMAL fallback), guaranteeing that adoption claims never throw null pointer exceptions regardless of entity origin.
