What changed in 1.6.0

Hardening release from a full codebase + website audit — no new features, but a broad
set of correctness, safety, and privacy fixes.

Fixed

• Settings now apply across the whole suite. Printer calibration offsets, the watch
  folder, print range and column/preset settings changed in one app (e.g. Engine
  Preferences) now reach the apps that actually render and print labels — previously each
  app kept its own private copy, so calibration silently did nothing on real prints.
  Existing settings are migrated automatically. Calibration also now applies correctly to
  network and Brother printers (not just USB Brady).
• No lost prints or unsaved work at startup. A print submitted just before the Engine
  finishes its first printer scan is now requeued and retried instead of silently failing;
  print failures are now announced (notification + a Recent Prints entry) rather than
  disappearing; and a minimized designer window (or a stray system window closing) can no
  longer make a designer quit without offering to save open tabs.
• Privacy: problem reports no longer put your name, email, or phone in the GitHub
  issue text (contact details stay on your Mac); a report carries only a non-identifying
  reporter key.
• Security: the print window now sanitizes template content the same way the designer
  does, closing a path where a malicious shared template could run code in the app.
• Reliability: a dead network printer can no longer freeze the Engine's status/scanning
  for minutes (bounded network writes); cassette reads no longer race the USB scan; a
  repeatedly-crashing preview no longer reload-loops; dropped file-system events during a
  burst are recovered by a rescan; and a re-export into an existing tab clears stale
  selection/search state so edits and deletes act on the right rows.
• Assorted smaller fixes: Vectorworks plugin exports write atomically, USB
  open-by-id skips a busy sibling printer, template reload can't drop a user file that
  happens to share an id, and several CI/release-workflow hardening fixes.
