### Added

- **Drop-in `MessageBox` replacement** — `GlassMessage.Show(...)` overloads that
 are signature-compatible with `System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox`.
- **Fluent builder** — `GlassMessage.Create(...)` for composing dialogs.
- **Async dialogs** — non-blocking, awaitable, and cancellable via
 `CancellationToken`:
 - `GlassMessage.ShowAsync(...)` for the basic message-box shape.
 - `GlassBuilder.ShowAsync()` / `ShowExAsync()` so rich dialogs (input, checkbox,
   dropdown) can be awaited too. Cancellation yields `DialogResult.Cancel`.
- **Rich result** — `ShowEx()` / `ShowExAsync()` return a `GlassResult` (button +
 checkbox state + typed input); implicitly converts to `DialogResult`.
- **Live progress** — `GlassBuilder.ShowProgress()` returns a thread-safe
 `GlassProgressController` to update the bar (`SetValue`) and caption
 (`SetMessage`) while work runs, `Complete()` it, await `Completion`, and detect
 user dismissal via `WasCanceledByUser`.
- **Theming** — `Dark`, `Light`, `Mica`, `HighContrast`, and `WindowsClassic`
 presets, plus fully customisable `GlassTheme` instances.
- **Auto theme detection** — `GlassTheme.AutoDetect()` / `IsSystemDark()` follow
 the Windows light / dark / high-contrast preference.
- **Modern chrome** — Windows 11 rounded corners (DWM), Mica backdrop, and an
 Acrylic blur fallback on Windows 10.
- **Inline inputs** — single-line text, password (reveal eye + Caps Lock hint),
 multi-line, and drop-down.
- **Checkbox**, **expandable detail panel**, **determinate / indeterminate
 progress bars**, **countdown auto-close**, and **custom bitmap icons**.
- **System sounds** — `GlassBuilder.Sound()` and the global
 `GlassMessage.PlaySystemSounds` play the Windows sound matching the icon when a
 dialog opens, like the classic `MessageBox`.
- **Animations** — `Fade` (default), `SlideDown`, `Scale`, and `None`.
- **Keyboard** — `Ctrl+C` copies title + message; `Enter` / `Esc` map to sensible
 results.
- **Right-to-left** mirrored layout.
- **Toast notifications** — `GlassToast` with six anchor positions, auto-stacking,
 click actions, and an async variant. Toasts are **multi-monitor aware**: they
 auto-target the active window's screen (then the cursor's, then primary) and
 stack per-screen; override with `GlassToastOptions.Screen`.
- **Cross-target build** — .NET Framework 4.8.1 and .NET 8 / 9 / 10 (Windows);
 AnyCPU, so the library runs in both x86 and x64 processes.
- **Release pipeline** — pushing a `v*` tag builds every target framework, runs
 the tests, and publishes a GitHub Release with notes and downloadable assets.
