Notch v3.6.2

Notch v3.6.2

Notch v3.6.2 is a targeted stability release resolving a widget lifecycle issue during History timeline refresh.

Fixes & Improvements

• History Lifecycle Stabilization: Fixed a widget detachment sequence in the History timeline refresh (on_data_changed) that could cause a NoneType.deleteLater() AttributeError when unparenting timeline cards.
• Regression Coverage: Added dedicated automated lifecycle regression tests covering single and repeated data refreshes, empty history placeholders, and non-widget layout items (5/5 passed).
• Navigation & Lifecycle Validation: Validated smooth cross-fade page navigation, rapid range switching, and background refreshes across primary pages without widget accumulation, memory leaks, or UI corruption.
• Data Integrity & Continuity: No database schema or model migration. Existing local databases, settings, and tracking history are 100% preserved.
