+Task Column Persistence System - Maintains Task Column Values
+============================================================
+
+PROBLEM SOLVED:
+When adding task columns with ADD TASK COLUMN functionality, the values
+for colorType assignments and colorType groups used for filters get lost
+during UI refreshes and column operations.
+
+SOLUTION:
+Implement the same snapshot/restore pattern used for colorType persistence
+but adapted for task column values, ensuring they maintain their state
+through column additions and filtering operations.
+
+BENEFIT:
+- Preserves task column values during ADD TASK COLUMN operations
+- Maintains colorType assignments for filtering
+- Preserves colorType group associations
+- Works seamlessly with existing snapshot system
+
+USAGE:
+    save_task_column_values()
+    # Perform ADD TASK COLUMN operations
+    restore_task_column_values()

+"""User Interface (UI) Panels for 4D BIM Scheduling - Modular Organization.
+
+This package contains the Panel (bpy.types.Panel) and UIList (bpy.types.UIList)
+classes, thematically organized to build the addon's interface in Blender.
+
+The structure is as follows:
+- panels_schedule.py: Panels for managing schedules, tasks, variance analysis, and ICOM.
+- panels_animation.py: Panels dedicated to 4D animation configuration, color schemes, camera control, orbit, and HUD settings.
+- panels_workplan.py: Panels for managing Work Plans and Calendars.
+- lists_ui.py: Contains reusable UI elements, primarily the UIList classes that display data lists.
+
+The __init__.py file acts as an orchestrator, importing all components and managing
+their centralized registration and unregistration within Blender.

+ColorType Cache Module - Ultra-fast Task-to-ColorProfile Mapping
+==============================================================
+
+PROBLEM SOLVED:
+ColorType logic is computationally expensive when executed for 8,000 objects.
+For each object, it must search the active group, check custom assignments,
+fall back to PredefinedType, etc. This becomes the main bottleneck.
+
+SOLUTION:
+Pre-calculate the complex ColorType logic once per TASK (not per object).
+Create an instant map: task_id -> color_profile_final.
+
+BENEFIT:
+- Pre-calculation: ~1 second
+- Subsequent queries: instantaneous
+- Accelerates: Animation Creation + Variance Calculation
+
+USAGE:
+    cache = ColorTypeCache()
+    cache.build_cache(context)
+    color_profile = cache.get_task_color_profile(task_id)
