Month 2025-10: Delivered a focused internal refactor of the WooCommerce REST API v4 in BurakParsAydin/woocommerce.

There were no external functionality changes; the refactor improves maintainability, testability, and sets a solid foundation for future development and faster feature delivery. Commit e83711fc1f68cec4f8cf7294be79ea0d826ccfb0 captures the change and is linked to internal namespace reorganization (#61297).
