Added a maxlength attribute to the player name input and enforced a 16-character limit in both install and settings scripts, providing user feedback if exceeded. Refactored modManager.js to replace symlink-based mod management with a copy-based system, copying enabled mods to HytaleSaves\Mods and removing legacy symlink logic to improve compatibility and avoid permission issues.
modManager.js:
- Switch from hardcoded 'junction' to dynamic symlink type based on OS (fixing Linux EPERM).
- Add retry logic for directory removal to handle file locking race conditions.
- Improve broken symlink detection during profile sync.
gameManager.js:
- Implement retry loop (3 attempts) for game directory removal in updateGameFiles to prevent EBUSY/EPERM errors on Windows.
paths.js:
- Prevent fs.mkdirSync failure in getModsPath by pre-checking for broken symbolic links.

What changed
Profiles — Implemented proper profile management (create, switch, delete). Each profile now has its own isolated mod list.
Mod Isolation — Fixed ModManager so mods are strictly scoped to the active profile. Browsing and installing only affects the selected profile.
Critical Fix — Fixed a path bug where mods were being saved to ~/AppData/Local on macOS (Windows path) instead of ~/Library/Application Support. Mods now save to the correct location and load correctly in-game.
Stability — Added an auto-sync step before every launch to make sure the physical mods folder always matches the active profile.
UI — Added a profile selector dropdown and a profile management modal.
