Subject: [PATCH 01/22] feat: Add prefab read operations (get_info,
 get_hierarchy, list_prefabs)

- Add get_info: retrieve prefab metadata (GUID, type, components, child count, variant info)
- Add get_hierarchy: get prefab internal structure with pagination support
- Add list_prefabs: search prefabs in project with optional name filtering
- Extract PrefabUtilityHelper class for reusable prefab utility methods
- Update Python tool descriptions and parameter documentation

Subject: [PATCH 02/22] fix: Use correct API to save prefab stage changes

Replace PrefabUtility.SaveAsPrefabAsset (for creating new prefabs) with
EditorSceneManager.SaveScene to properly save stage modifications.

This fixes the issue where component additions were lost after closing
the prefab stage.

Subject: [PATCH 03/22] refactor: improve code quality and error handling

- Add pagination constants (DefaultPageSize, MaxPageSize)
- Extract SaveAndRefreshStage helper to reduce duplication
- Change all user-facing messages to English
- Add REQUIRED_PARAMS validation in Python
- Split path parameter into prefab_path and folder_path for clarity
- Improve error handling with specific exception types

+    - get_hierarchy: Get the complete hierarchy structure of a prefab (supports pagination)
+    - open_stage: Open a prefab in Prefab Mode for editing

+    - Use unlink_if_instance=True to create a new prefab from an existing prefab instance
+    - Use allow_overwrite=True to replace an existing prefab file

Subject: [PATCH 17/22] fix: resolve Unknown pseudo class last-child USS
 warnings

Unity UI Toolkit does not support the :last-child pseudo-class. Replace
it with a .section-last class that is applied programmatically to the
last section in each .section-stack container.

Also moves the Configure All Detected Clients button to the bottom
of the Client Configuration section and makes it auto-width.

Subject: [PATCH 18/22] fix: improve prefab stage save for automated workflows

- Add force parameter to save_open_stage for automated workflows
  where isDirty may not be correctly set
- Use PrefabUtility.SaveAsPrefabAsset for dialog-free saving
- Mark prefab stage scene dirty when modifying GameObjects in prefab mode
- Skip save when no changes and force=false (prevents false dirty flag)

The force parameter ensures reliable saving in CI/automation scenarios
where Unity dirty tracking may be inconsistent with programmatic changes.
