Emerald v2.1.0

Emerald 2.1.0

Emerald 2.1 adds private, Markdown-aware spell checking, a hold-to-view
keyboard reference, more faithful Read Mode rendering, and a consistent compact
interface across dialogs and menus.

New

• Added offline spell checking backed by Emerald's private, vendored
  Hunspell engine. US English is bundled with the app and needs no network
  connection.
• Added right-click spelling suggestions, Add to personal dictionary, and
  Ignore for this session. Code, math, links, URLs, HTML, and other
  non-prose Markdown ranges are skipped.
• Added optional, hash-verified Italian, German, French, and Spanish dictionary
  packs under Settings -> Spelling. Packs are published and updated
  separately from the application.
• Added a centered keyboard shortcut cheatsheet. Hold Alt+X to see the
  categorized reference and release either key to dismiss it without changing
  focus or triggering Quick Jump.

Rendering and interaction

• Fixed mixed inline styles in Read Mode, including highlights containing bold
  spans and strikethrough text containing wiki links.
• Made heading sections foldable in Read Mode.
• Reworked multi-line quote and callout painting to remove gaps, incorrect edit
  offsets, and stray corner pixels while keeping Read and Edit Mode aligned.
• Refreshed settings, spelling management, search, file pickers, update prompts,
  galleries, and other dialogs with one compact charcoal-and-emerald design.
• Improved dialog alignment and removed native dotted focus outlines while
  retaining clear solid keyboard-focus states.

Maintenance and documentation

• Self-hosted the pinned Hunspell source and dictionary snapshots with license,
  provenance, integrity, and review automation included in the repository.
• Added README screenshots for Read Mode and Graph View and expanded the manual
  and shortcut documentation for the new features.
• Extended UI, Markdown, spelling, performance, and security test coverage.
