// ===============================================================================
// SmartBootstrapper - Auto-Boot Scene Loader for Unity
//
// Creator: Scove
// Last Updated: 2026-03-03
// Version: 3.0 (Drag & Drop UI Added)
//
// Purpose:
// Forces the Unity Editor to always start from an initialization (Boot) scene 
// when hitting Play, regardless of which scene is currently open. 
//
// Key Features:
// 1. Drag & Drop UI: Easily assign your Boot Scene via a settings window.
// 2. Persistent Settings: Saves your configuration automatically via EditorPrefs.
// 3. Quick Toggle: Enable or disable the feature directly from the window.
// 4. Smart Play Mode: Gracefully returns to your working scene after testing.
//
// How to Use:
// 1. Place this script in an 'Editor' folder.
// 2. Open via: Menu -> Tools -> Smart Boot Settings.
// 3. Drag and drop your Boot Scene into the slot and enable the tool.
