## Description

Streamlined drag-and-drop category management for WooCommerce with child/sibling
previews, auto-save, and clear hierarchy controls.

Tested with WooCommerce 10.2.

#### Highlights

 * List View: Smooth, precise drag & drop with child/sibling preview and indent-
   aware placement.
 * Smart targeting (visual): Alignment markers show when it’s safe to drop; list
   view accepts drops without hard blocking.
 * Auto-expand on stable hover: Collapsed categories open one level to allow dropping
   inside.
 * Root drops: Dedicated root marker to quickly move any category to the top level.
 * Undo/Redo (last 10 actions): Reparent and reorder actions can be undone/redone.
   Toolbar buttons + keyboard shortcuts.
 * Visual feedback: Overlay spinner and toast messages for undo/redo and saves.
 * Bulk actions: Filter, select visible, and bulk delete (optionally cascade) with
   toasts.
 * State persistence: Expansion and selection are remembered per session.
 * Accessibility: Toggle buttons include `aria-expanded`; delete buttons have `aria-
   label`s.
 * Performance: Colorization coalesced (idle scheduling) to avoid jank after reorder/
   refresh.
 * Graph View: Top-to-bottom layout (parents above, children below) with smooth 
   pan/zoom/rotate.
 * Fullscreen workspace: Toolbar button, keyboard `F`, and double-click background
   to toggle.
 * Smooth, normalized zoom: Gentle animated steps (trackpad-friendly) and label 
   auto-scaling at low zoom.
 * Refit on switch: Switching from List to Graph resets view and fits content to
   the current viewport.
 * Drag reparenting: Drag one bubble over another to make it a child; drop on background
   to make root. Toolbar Undo/Redo supported.

#### Shortcuts

 * Space + drag (Graph): Pan the canvas.
 * Mouse wheel (Graph): Smooth zoom at pointer.
 * Arrow keys (Graph): Nudge view.
 * F (Graph): Toggle fullscreen.
 * Delete/Backspace (Graph): Delete selected node(s) with confirmation.
 * Ctrl/Cmd+Z: Undo (List & Graph)
 * Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z: Redo (List & Graph)
