v5.29.0 — BETA Lightspeed notice + Buy-Me-A-Coffee dialog + load-path fix

Highlights

• BETA notice on the Lightspeed Stacker — the in-app stacker progress panel now shows a clear "BETA: LightspeedStacker" title plus a red one-liner: "Quick preview only — not a replacement for professional stacking (WBPP, PixInsight, etc.)". Sets correct expectations for new users.

• "Buy me a coffee" support dialog — once between every 10–100 sessions you'll see a small, friendly dialog: a portrait of the developer, a triple-sized centered ☕, and three actions:

  • Yes, sure! — opens buymeacoffee.com/joergsflow and never prompts again
  • Maybe later — snoozes 2 sessions
  • No thanks — snoozes ~50–60 sessions
    Honors night mode. Default action = Return; Esc = No. Random schedule means it never fires on a fresh install and isn't predictable.

• Review prompt fix — the App Store review prompt was wired only into the single-folder load path, missing single-file (Cmd+O → individual files) and multi-folder selections. All three load paths now bump the session counter and trigger the prompt — fixes a quiet bug present since the review prompt was first added.

Notes

• Algorithm version unchanged. No quality/scoring logic touched in this release. Frame History DB records remain compatible with v5.28.0.
