Core Break Detection Overhaul

Independent Session Tracking: Break detection is no longer generalized. The script now individually tracks and stores the high and low of the Regular (RDR), After-hours (ADR), and Overnight (ODR) sessions upon their completion.
New Break Condition (First Close): The break logic has transitioned from "Body Breaks" (open inside, close outside) to "First Close Beyond DR Level." It now specifically triggers when the current close breaks the session high/low while the previous close was at or within the range.
Discrete Session States: Introduced isolated boolean flags for each session (e.g., adrBullBroken, odrBearBroken). Break states are now accurately reset at the end of each specific session rather than applying a global reset.

Visual & UI Adjustments

Unified Break Coloring: Both bullish and bearish breakout candles and labels now utilize a unified purple identifier (color.rgb(70, 26, 146)), shifting away from the previous multi-color (purple/yellow/green) setup.
Refined Labels: Breakout label sizes have been reduced from huge to normal for cleaner chart reading. (Note: The bearish label position was moved to track the high of the candle rather than the low).
Hidden Indicator Inputs: All configuration inputs across Time Settings, General Settings, and Styles have been appended with display = display.none. This locks in the indicator's parameters and removes the clutter from the TradingView settings panel.
Standard Deviation Lines: The showStdLines default state has been toggled from true to false.
Data Window Plots: Added hidden plots for ADR, ODR, and RDR highs and lows. While hidden from the main chart visual (display = display.none), these levels are now accessible via the TradingView Data Window for precise value tracking.

Under the Hood

Granular Variable Management: Deprecated the generic drHighBroken and drLowBroken variables in favor of dedicated stored variables (adrHigh, odrHigh, rdrStoredHigh, etc.) to prevent overlapping session data during extension periods.
