Changelog

[Fix] FastStatsManager was never initialized — wired up in onEnable() and exposed via getFastStatsManager()

[Fix] Unused kickerId parameter removed from TeamManager.kickMember()

[Fix] %simpleteams_team_plain% placeholder was identical to %simpleteams_team% — now correctly strips MiniMessage tags from the prefix

[Fix] EditCommand ignored the allow-colored-prefix config option — colored prefixes are now properly gated

[Fix] Default team prefix was hardcoded in Team.java — moved to limits.default-prefix-format in config.yml

[Fix] /team ban and /team unban only worked on online players — both now support offline players

[Add] limits.default-prefix-format key in config.yml

[Add] messages.yml key coloredPrefixNotAllowed

[Add] messages.yml key playerOfflineOrNotFound
