+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **[Fix — QuestLink Crash]** Resolved a critical LUA error in `Link.lua`: `attempt to concatenate local 'coloredQuestName' (a nil value)`. This was caused by the `ChatFilter` misidentifying non-quest bracketed patterns (like Keystone links `[Name (ID)]`) as quests. Added a defensive nil guard in `GetQuestHyperLink` and hardened the `ChatFilter` to verify quest names exist before attempting string replacement.
