Fixes the blank macOS Quick Look and makes Windows preview reliable.

macOS — Quick Look now actually shows the redline

The .changex (and code) preview was blank in real Finder because a WKWebView never paints inside the sandboxed Quick Look host. Rewritten to render natively (NSTextView + NSAttributedString): deletions in red strikethrough, insertions in green, agents attributed; source code syntax-highlighted (keywords/strings/comments/numbers). Verified live in Finder. Re-download ChangeX-QuickLook.dmg (or ChangeX Viewer ▸ Settings ▸ Enable).

Windows — a dependable preview

The Explorer preview-pane handler (COM) is fragile, so v0.1.14 adds a path that always works:

  • changex preview <file> --open — renders the redline / highlighted code to HTML and opens your default browser.
  • Right-click ▸ "Preview with ChangeX" on .changex and code files (registered by install.ps1), which runs exactly that. Works even if the preview pane doesn't.

```bash
pip install -U --no-cache-dir "changex[preview]"
```

Assets: ChangeX-QuickLook.dmg (native renderer), ChangeX-Windows-Preview.zip (handler + right-click installer), ChangeX Viewer installers + latest.json.
