What changed

• New interface-based feature system where enum values bind to handler codeunits for activation, settings, and system tool loading
• Dynamic Tool Mode now requires API Tools to be enabled first and is displayed indented as a sub-feature
• Available APIs list allows curated selection of both API pages and queries through a unified lookup
• System Tools list-part dynamically populates by iterating active features and calling their handlers
• Configuration list gains Set as Default / Clear Default actions and shows read-only API Tools / Data Query Tools status columns
• Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
