-- Guda SharedData Module
-- Cross-account character data sharing via GudaIO DLL (optional)
-- The DLL merges all accounts' SavedVariables at startup into GudaShared.lua
-- which is loaded via .toc and sets Guda_SharedCharacters global.
--
-- IMPORTANT: Shared characters are stored in addon.sharedCharacters (in-memory only),
-- NOT in Guda_DB.characters, to prevent them from leaking into SavedVariables.
