🐛 Bug Fixes

Prevent file watcher from blocking GUI rendering on startup

• The file watcher was initialised on the main thread, delaying GUI
  updates during directory indexing specifically on application startup.
  This resulted in a slow startup experience under heavy I/O conditions.
  Initialised watcher on a background thread.

• AGC release_time is now step to 0.0 from 0.0001 to ensure the gain
  can always lower itself when needed

Potential panic when rendering selected_table_data

  data itself could be out of sync for one frame on the ui thread
