The question: UnysonPlus had grown a scatter of sibling upload folders in the WordPress uploads root — unysonplus-icon-packs, unysonplus-asset-optimizer, unysonplus-lottie, unysonplus-rive, unysonplus-templates, unysonplus-designs, unysonplus-shortcodes, unysonplus-presets, plus a plain unysonplus/ for generated CSS. Should each keep its own top-level folder, or move under a single uploads/unysonplus/ parent?

The question: The Animation Engine → Text Effects module already ships rotating_words and typewriter (among ~40 effects) that can be applied to any text element. Does the standalone animated_heading shortcode still earn its place, or should it be deprecated in favor of "special_heading + a text effect"?

The question: I want the Design tab to show only the options that matter for the current choice — so layout_mode, card_style, pagination_type should become image-pickers that reveal their own sub-options. But those are existing selects with real saved data, and turning a select (a string) into a multi-picker (an array) is a value-shape change. How do I do that without breaking every already-saved Posts/Testimonials block?
