AnimBase v1.2.0 – Strict Mode, Extensibility, Performance & CI Upgrade

✨ New Features

• Added Strict Mode via data-anim-strict="true" to throw errors on invalid JSON/easing/color during development.
• Added Extensible Handler API:
  • registerKeyHandler(key, handlerTypeOrFn)
  • registerHandlerType(type, handlerFn)
• Added new Custom Handler demo in docs (live counter example).

🚀 Performance Improvements

• Skip update when frame value doesn’t change.
• Cache Object.entries for style config to reduce per-frame work.
• Early return when no config exists.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed hex color regex to properly validate ([0-9a-fA-F]).
• Fixed registerKeyHandler so it actually works and supports custom handler types.
• Added warn-once for unknown handler types and invalid easing/color in non-strict mode.

✅ Test Coverage

• Coverage now focused on src/** only (no dist/docs noise).
• Added extensive tests for:
  • strict mode (JSON, easing, color)
  • handler mapping & custom handlers
  • autoinit behaviors (controller mapping, custom events, autostart, hooks, pause/resume/seek/stop)
  • parsing edge cases & hex colors
• Coverage significantly improved (>95% overall in CI).

🛠 CI

• CI upgraded:
  • Node matrix (18 & 20)
  • concurrency cancel
  • coverage artifact upload
  • Codecov integration
  • workflow dispatch
• Added Release workflow: publish to npm only when tagging vX.Y.Z.
