Adds a visual alert for idle unit-producing factories. When a factory's production queue is empty or on hold for 10 seconds, the tab number and sidebar icon blink to draw attention.

User story:
As a player, I want to be notified when my unit-producing factories are idle or on hold, so that I can keep my production running and avoid wasting time.

Behavior:

  • Tab numbers blink when their factory is idle or on hold and not currently selected
  • Sidebar icons blink when any factory in that group is idle and the group is not currently selected
  • Completed items (gold) take priority over idle blink
  • Configurable via YAML: IdleAlertDelay, IdleAlertGroups, IdleAlertBlinkRate
  • Player-toggleable via Settings > Display > "Idle Factory Alert" checkbox (default: on)
