Lightweight front-end annotation tool with threads, tagging, and collaborator sessions.

## Description

Dan's Annotator lets logged-in users (and invited collaborators) highlight elements on any page and discuss them in threaded comments. It adds a floating UI to create, browse, and close annotation threads, plus @-mentions with email notifications.

### Features

– Admin bar toggle to enable/disable annotation mode for logged-in users.
– Front-end badges showing counts and a side panel UI for reading/posting comments.
– @username tagging with autocomplete and email/admin-notice notifications.
– REST API endpoints used by the front-end JavaScript.
– Optional outside-collaborator links with scoped sessions.

1. Upload the `dans-annotator` directory to your `wp-content/plugins` folder.
2. Activate the plugin in WP Admin (tables are created on activation).
3. While logged in, use the admin bar toggle to enable annotation mode on the front-end.
