Pull request overview
Enables customization/removal of out-of-the-box (default) node group styles and adds a “Reset Styles” flow to restore Dynamo’s default group styles, including UI and context-menu behavior updates.
Changes:
- Updates Preferences UI to allow editing/removing default group styles and adds a Reset Styles button with localized strings.
- Adjusts group-style persistence/restore logic (avoid recreating defaults when list is empty; create defaults only for brand-new settings).
- Improves group context-menu behavior (disable Group Style submenu when empty; only show separator when needed) and adds WPF tests.
