v0.2.6 — See your scenes, watch your stream, catch what broke

This release turns keys into something you read, not just press.

🖼️ Live scene previews on the keys

A scene key can now show what that scene is actually sending out, refreshed
once or twice a second.

It looks great, but that is not the point. A dead capture card or a source
that failed to load shows up as a black key — so you spot the broken scene
before you cut to it, instead of live on air.

Off by default and enabled per key: every frame costs OBS a render, and that
is your call to make, not the app's.

📊 Live stats on a key

Put the numbers you actually watch straight on the deck: dropped frames,
stream bitrate, congestion, stream and recording time, free disk space, render
FPS, OBS's own CPU and memory, and your whole machine's CPU.

The key turns amber and then red as a measurement gets worse, so you notice
you are dropping frames or filling your disk without leaving what you were
doing. Free space warns you with 10 GB left, not with the last gigabyte.

🩺 Check your keys against OBS

Renamed a scene last week? Until now, every key pointing at it stopped working
silently — the key stayed there, with its icon, and did nothing.

Run Check keys against OBS from where you are and it lists what no longer
resolves, suggests what you probably meant, and repoints every affected key in
one go. It saves a backup first, so a wrong fix is undone by restoring it.

It never runs on its own: switching scene collection renames everything at
once, and a checker that cried wolf every time would be worthless.

🕓 Restore an automatic backup

Earlier configurations were already being kept — now you can actually get back
to one. Pick it by date and by what it holds. The current one is saved first,
so restoring the wrong copy is not the end of the story.

🔤 Readable option lists

Dropdowns showed internal identifiers like stream_time or positionX. They
now read as words, while still storing the identifier, so your saved keys are
untouched.
