Rework the UI/UX modification layer with an expanded SDK system. This replaces the current QuickNav and ZTools addons with a unified, SDK-driven approach.

Prep issues (completed on main)

  • #343 — Remove QuickNav from build and loader
  • #344 — Remove ZTools from build and loader
  • #345 — Archive both into reference/ folder

KCSDK — C++-backed SDK module (pybind11)

  • #350 — Scaffold KCSDK library + kcsdk pybind11 module
  • #351 — Migrate editing context API to kcsdk
  • #352 — Panel provider system (IPanelProvider)
  • #353 — C++ theme engine
  • #354 — Toolbar provider system (IToolbarProvider)
  • #355 — Menu and action system
  • #356 — Status bar provider + origin migration
  • #357 — Deprecation cleanup + SDK v1.0.0

Workflow

  1. Complete prep issues #343-#345 on main ✅
  2. Create feat/ui-ux-rework branch from main
  3. Implement KCSDK phases #350-#357 on feature branches
  4. When tested and complete, merge into main

Architecture
