dwindown d13a356331 fix: Major UX improvements and API error handling ...

Fixed Issues:
1. ✅ API error handling - Added try-catch and validation
2. ✅ Pipe separator UX - Now accepts comma OR pipe naturally
3. ✅ Tab restructuring - Merged pricing into General tab

Changes:

🔧 API (ProductsController.php):
- Added try-catch error handling in create_product
- Validate required fields (name)
- Better empty field checks (use !empty instead of ??)
- Support virtual, downloadable, featured flags
- Array validation for categories/tags/variations
- Return proper WP_Error on exceptions

🎨 UX Improvements:

1. Attribute Options Input (VariationsTab.tsx):
   ❌ Old: Pipe only, spaces rejected
   ✅ New: Comma OR pipe, spaces allowed
   - Split by /[,|]/ regex
   - Display as comma-separated (more natural)
   - Help text: "Type naturally: Red, Blue, Green"
   - No more cursor gymnastics!

2. Tab Restructuring (ProductFormTabbed.tsx):
   ❌ Old: 5 tabs (General, Pricing, Inventory, Variations, Organization)
   ✅ New: 3-4 tabs (General+Pricing, Inventory, Variations*, Organization)
   - Pricing merged into General tab
   - Variable products: 4 tabs (Variations shown)
   - Simple products: 3 tabs (Variations hidden)
   - Dynamic grid: grid-cols-3 or grid-cols-4
   - Less tab switching!

3. GeneralTab.tsx Enhancement:
   - Added pricing fields section
   - SKU, Regular Price, Sale Price
   - Savings calculator ("Customers save X%")
   - Context-aware help text:
     * Simple: "Base price before discounts"
     * Variable: "Base price (can override per variation)"
   - All in one place!

📊 Result:
- Simpler navigation (3-4 tabs vs 5)
- Natural typing (comma works!)
- Better context (pricing with product info)
- Less cognitive load
- Faster product creation
