🚀 What's New in v0.1.4

1. Official CounterFin Brand & Visual Identity

• Complete Application Rebrand: Full rebranding across the entire codebase, documentation, metadata, website, and build manifests from SettleMint to CounterFin.
• Refined Emblem & App Icons: Adopted Option B brand identity with high-resolution app icons cropped cleanly to the emblem boundary, eliminating distracting margins and enhancing dock/taskbar presence.
• Brand Visual Assets: Deployed custom banners for repository documentation, OpenGraph social sharing previews, interactive app tour screenshots, and lossless WebP imagery across all display formats.

2. Comprehensive UI Button, Interaction & Navigation Audit

• Interactive Button Activation: Audited and resolved all unresponsive buttons, missing callbacks, and mismatched DOM state identifiers across all functional views.
• Legal Rights Guide & Navigation Pills: Added direct sidebar access for the Legal Rights Guide and introduced the Credit Delta Audit navigation pill for fast statutory inspection.
• Evidence Vault & Call Assistant Ingestion: Wired up the Record Correspondence action in Call Assistant and direct Ingest Evidence File handlers in Evidence Vault.
• Credit Reporting & CRA Dispute Packet: Hooked up Ingest Credit Report and Generate CRA Dispute Packet workflows in Credit view.
• Letter Studio Live Previews: Real-time responsive template preview updates for all 8 statutory dispute generators with token replacement.
• Cross-Platform Keyboard Shortcuts: Unified desktop accelerators (Ctrl+ on Windows/Linux, Cmd+ on macOS) for quick logging, navigation, and modal dismissal.
• System Tray Integration: Active desktop event listeners for open-quick-log and toggle-silence-24h tray actions.

3. Workbench Actions & Enhanced Export Pipeline

• Clear Cases Action: Added a fully-wired Clear Cases action with an active confirmation modal, resilient state clearing, and immediate UI refresh.
• Direct-to-Downloads File Export: Enhanced the statutory dispute export pipeline (Markdown, HTML, JSON) with automatic file delivery to the user's local Downloads directory in both browser mock and native Tauri desktop runtimes.
• Non-Intrusive Toast Notifications: Replaced disruptive modal alert popups with modern, floating toast notifications for export and workflow events.

4. Code Quality, Security Hardening & Continuous Validation

• CodeQL DOM XSS Remediation: Resolved CodeQL DOM text reinterpreted as HTML vulnerability warnings by converting toast notifications to use safe, structured DOM text nodes.
• Biome Quality Audit: 100% clean across Biome linter checks, enforcing safe optional chaining, modern template literals, and standardized object key formats.
• Rust Formatting & Engine Integrity: Applied rustfmt formatting across all crates in src-tauri. All 74 comprehensive Rust unit, integration, stress/chaos, and benchmark tests execute with 100% green status.

5. Discoverability, SEO & Crawler Governance

• Launch Crawlability Package: Codified launch-essential metadata including favicon.ico, site.webmanifest, and manifest.json.
• Security Policy & Standards: Deployed RFC 9116 .well-known/security.txt security contact policy, humans.txt team attribution, and updated robots.txt / sitemap.xml directives.
