Refresh release metadata immediately before downloading an update and keep automatic checks current while the app remains open.
Accept desktop file drops from the first renderer frame, preserve early and rapid drops until initialization completes, and show the live remaining upload size in the sidebar.
Add regression coverage for update freshness, startup drag-and-drop ordering, localization, and remaining-byte retry behavior. Bump the application to v2.1.25.
Verify update artifacts with exact metadata and SHA-512, require host-confirmed upload completion before cleanup, harden credentials and backups, improve queue recovery and skipped-state reporting, expand Windows path coverage, and add CI packaging checks.
