Fixes

• Prevented incomplete Combo drafts from reaching firmware, moved changed-slot saves off the UI thread, and verified saved values through readback (@IgorArkhipov, #82)
• Fixed Tap Dance and Tap-Hold writeback, stale module-setting readbacks, and mismatched QMK settings responses (@IgorArkhipov, #73, #75, #92)
• Kept Vial unlock sessions recoverable after transient polling failures (@IgorArkhipov, #68)
• Fixed multiline Text Expander output on Windows and prevented the X11 smart-input backend from starting in Wayland sessions (@IgorArkhipov, #72, #84)
• Reduced Windows idle CPU usage and hidden tray background polling (@IgorArkhipov, #69)
• Stabilized module settings grouping for mixed Left, Right, Auto Layer, and shared firmware tabs (@IgorArkhipov, #91)
• Fixed RMK layout apply timing, HID-open recovery, firmware cache refreshes, and stale Live Features media data
• Persisted app theme selection and made Universal Symbols transport safe for Windows shortcuts
• Improved layer editing: dimmed inherited KC_TRNS legends, fixed wheel navigation, limited bulk None/Inherit to the selected layer, and kept the layout visible during background operations
• Completed Russian localization for module settings and Bluetooth sleep timeouts
• Restored the standard scrollbar gutter on the Modules page
• Made the device-selection state compact, content-sized, and scrollable only when more than six devices are available
• Kept native import/export dialogs in front of Entropy without blocking the UI, and unified asynchronous PNG/SVG/PDF export handling (@ImmortalDragonm, #80)
