* Redirect Empty Search Home: Standalone Pro package for Redirect Empty Search Home: installs independently, includes the working fix, reports Pro status to the free plugin when present, and adds an admin control to pause the Pro fix without uninstalling.

Support, setup help, consulting, and custom compatibility work are not included.
