v0.2.5

Added

• Add Start Recommended recent-document visibility APIs backed by Start_TrackDocs.
• Add Explorer Quick Access strong refresh behavior by navigating Quick Access windows to Desktop and back after refresh.

• Expand TestConsole with Start Recommended visibility commands and DestList DROID metadata output.
• Harden retry policy validation through explicit Validate() / Validated() APIs.

Fixed

• Limit active STA Shell COM workers so timed-out background workers cannot accumulate without bound.

Fixed

• Fix native COM resource cleanup and timeout handling for native query, mutation, Explorer refresh, and Recent link cleanup paths.
