• Movement: ignores head-only movement, uses distanceSquared, skips cancelled events

• Tablist: removed per-tick allocations and optimized parsing
• Kit editor: optimized movement handling
• Animations: reduced ArrayList resizing during execution
• SpectatorManager: migrated to concurrent collections for thread-safe async access

• Fixed NullPointerException from LuckPerms getPrimaryGroup() during data load/recalculation.
• Added safe fallback (default) and wrapped event handling to prevent crashes/spam.
• Added defensive null checks for group weight lookup.
• Fixed team/name color inconsistencies.
