- Added `src/utils.hpp` with a `formatWithCommas` helper function to improve score readability.
- Updated `src/main.cpp` to use `formatWithCommas` for Personal Best, current Score, High Score, and Final Score displays.
- Enhanced the "NEW BEST! 🥳" message with `CLR_CTRL` (Bold Yellow) and added context by showing the previous high score (e.g., "was 1,000").
- Verified changes with unit tests and existing UX validation scripts.
