v0.4.2 — Pinned headers & layout polish
UI
• Restore backup picker: pinned column headers, wider Backup column, right-aligned Size

• All picker highlight colour changed to yellow for better visibility
• Main menu entries shifted 1 left; INI submenu entries aligned with main menu
• Spacer row between list content and status bar on all screens
• Non-blocking info dialog for backup-in-progress (no button, auto-replaced)
• Split-layout backup picker — file list on left, live GVAS metadata on right
• ► pip highlight replaces background bar on all menus
• Blank separator lines for visual grouping in menus
• "Set Subnautica 2 location" and "Set backup location" menu entries
• Context-aware header path — title bar shows the relevant file location for the current menu/screen
Layout
• Backup column widened from 30→38 chars; header/data total widths matched
• Size header right-aligned above file-size values in both restore pickers
• INI submenu header changed to cyan, shifted 3 right
Backup
