Description
Change a domain and most search and replace tools quietly miss the URLs inside page builders. Elementor stores layouts as JSON inside PHP serialized values, with slashes escaped. Search for https://oldsite.com and you match nothing. Search the escaped form and replace as text and you corrupt the row, because serialization stores byte lengths that stop matching. Lucid unserializes, walks the tree, decodes the JSON leaves, and keeps the original escaping. Preview first, snapshot, undo.

Could you build this?
Yes PHP serialized data string length fixing and JSON escaping algorithms are well-understood problems with existing open-source PHP/Python libraries (such as WordPress Search-Replace-DB).
