fix(release): harden updater status and cutter layout

Ignore malformed update notifications that do not carry a version, preventing unusable release prompts in installed builds.

Keep the loaded cutter workspace free of the source selector and give cutter export selects an explicit non-repeating indicator after workspace styling.

Add regression coverage, bump the patch release to 1.0.10, and update public installation documentation.

 # Changelog
 
+## 1.0.10 - 2026-08-12
+
+- Ignore malformed updater events without a version instead of showing an unusable update prompt.
+- Keep the cutter source selection out of the loaded editor layout and render each export profile indicator exactly once.
+
 ## 1.0.9 - 2026-08-12
 
 - Waited for managed-tool checksum streams to close before promoting verified installations, preventing intermittent Windows repair failures caused by open file handles.
