v2.0.0 - JSON-based Data Storage & Major Enhancements

Major Release v2.0.0

This version introduces a complete migration from TXT format to JSON storage,
making the application more structured, reliable, and extensible.

Highlights:

• Switched data persistence from TXT (| separator) to JSON (array of objects)
• Modularized file read/write functions (read_data, write_data)
• Improved backup system (backup/data-karyawan-backup.json)
• Unified log system with timestamp (logs/deleted-data.json)
• Bulk input supported with cancel option (0 = cancel input)
• Enhanced editing flow with summary table preview
• Consistent code style and error handling with try/catch

Migration Notes:

1. Backup your existing TXT data if necessary
2. Start fresh with data-karyawan.json OR manually convert TXT to JSON
3. Ensure backup/ and logs/ folders exist in the project directory

Changelog:

• Bulk data input with cancel option (0 = cancel input)
• Editing flow with summary preview table

• Unified log system with timestamp (logs/deleted-data.json)

Changed

• Switched from TXT format (| separator) to JSON (array of objects)

Removed

• Old TXT-based storage (data-karyawan.txt)
