Freed v26.5.406-dev
Freed Desktop avoids unnecessary renderer recovery while background pages are hidden
Fixes
- Reader, feed, and header polish
- Freed Desktop is calmer during renderer memory spikes
- Social scraper extraction now does less layout work while feed pages are open
- Social memory preflights now ignore WebKit processes from earlier Freed Desktop launches
- Hidden renderer heartbeats now use hidden-window thresholds before diagnostics or recovery
- macOS window recovery now forces the main Freed Desktop window to order front when shown
- Release build and type-safety cleanup
- Social sync memory preflights now defer the shared scheduler instead of cycling through providers
- Startup recovery and Settings copy now distinguish high memory from critical memory
Follow-ups
- Reverse integrate v26.5.309 production release
- Local diagnostics now write bounded runtime bundles for memory pressure, stale heartbeats, and pre-recovery samples
- Reader, sidebar, and settings UX work
