🚀 What's New in v1.0.5

✨ Highlights & Fixes

• 🎛️ Predictive Back & System Gesture Exclusion: Applied Modifier.systemGestureExclusion() to 48dp volume/brightness edge sliders to prevent system edge-back gestures from hijacking side drags, and enabled native Android 13/14+ Predictive Back (android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true").

🚀 What's New in v1.0.4

• 🔁 Live Loop Video Toggle Fix: Resolved a bug where loop settings were overridden by an old auto-next handler. Added a live SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener so toggling "Loop Video" instantly updates player repeat modes.
