## Upstream Issue Fixes
### Inconsistent chest connection choice near claim borders (`#2611`)
When placing a chest near a claim border with two possible single chest neighbors (one inside the claim and one outside), Minecraft's natural double-chest connection priority sometimes chose the wrong side, resulting in a double chest that crossed the claim boundary.
**Before:** The plugin detected the cross-claim connection and forcibly split both chests to `SINGLE`, which could break valid connections and produce inconsistent behavior depending on placement direction.
**After:** The plugin:
- Detects which side Minecraft already connected to and checks whether that connection crosses a claim boundary.
- If the connected side is denied but another valid single chest exists inside the same claim, the plugin reconnects the placed chest to the allowed side, forming a proper double chest within the claim.
- If no valid connection exists, the cross-claim double chest is split cleanly.
- Handles normal vs. trapped chest type mismatches and only considers left/right sides for valid connection faces.
This also fixes visual ghost blocks on the denied connection side.
