      * Implemented pre- and postflight checks to detect excessively long filenames (≥256 characters) that may trigger Python errors on Windows; applied to the following tools: Rejig, Clip, Merge, Save QLR, Export, and SyncQFieldToQGIS

      ** Fixed bug affecting merging of projects with modified names (e.g., subsets of a master project)  
      ** Automatically generates merged project filename based on shared name substrings (≥5 characters); defaults to `Merged.qgz` otherwise  
      * **Clip tool**:
