Alcove 0.2.6 improves startup, memory use, and background activity.

  • Load drawers independently in the background, and initialize the bar and search after the desktop layout appears.
  • Limit icon and thumbnail caches, share duplicate requests, and load wallpaper previews only when needed.
  • Keep search responsive with bounded scans and cancellation of outdated queries.
  • Reduce unnecessary state saves, taskbar polling, monitor updates, and desktop recovery checks.
  • Reuse wallpaper images fitted for different monitor sizes on later launches.
  • Preserve the desktop restore fix that avoids repeated repainting after Win+D.

Validation: production frontend build, 18 frontend checks, and 30 Rust tests passed. Startup-time and memory improvements have not yet been benchmarked.
