Changed & Refactored

  • Clean Architecture Overhaul:
    • Reorganized project into 5 explicit layers:
      • lib/core/: Centralized constants, theme, rendering cache, and utils (exif_utils, permission_utils, platform_utils, exif_injector).
      • lib/domain/: Consolidated domain models and services.
      • lib/state/: Standardized all Provider ChangeNotifier state containers.
