Added

• Folia compatibility: EzBoost now supports Folia servers via a FoliaScheduler abstraction that routes task scheduling through Folia's GlobalRegionScheduler / entity schedulers when the Folia runtime is detected.
• Boost top leaderboard (/boosttop): tracks and displays the top boost buyers using a Jaloquent-backed persistent storage layer.
• Jaloquent storage backend: replaced the previous BoostStorage abstraction with a fully Jaloquent-backed EzBoostRepository for consistent flat-file persistence across all storage operations.
• storage.debug-logging option (storage.yml, default false): suppresses verbose Jaloquent console output (Queried X rows, Saved model…). Set to true to re-enable for debugging.
• Paper 1.21 smoke-test: CI matrix now includes Paper 1.21.11 alongside Paper 26.1.2, Folia, Spigot, and Bukkit.

Changed

• api-version lowered from 26.1.2 to 1.13 so the plugin loads on any Spigot/Paper 1.13+ server without an api-version warning or rejection.
• Java compiler target lowered from 25 to 17 for wider JDK compatibility.
• AsyncChatEvent (Paper-only) replaced with AsyncPlayerChatEvent for Spigot compatibility.
• Plugin version lookup changed from getPluginMeta().getVersion() to getDescription().getVersion() for broader server compatibility.
• CI smoke-test pass condition now also verifies Enabling EzBoost appears in the server log, preventing a false pass when the server starts but rejects the plugin due to an incompatible api-version.

Fixed

• YamlDataStore.query() corrected to handle Jaloquent's flat key format.
• storage.yml added to pom.xml resource includes so it is correctly packaged.
• Vault is now fully optional: economy class access and listener registration are guarded so the plugin loads cleanly without Vault present.
