v1.9.51

Changed: Switching categories no longer shows a blank frame or spinner — the current project list stays on screen until the new one is fully loaded; the tab highlights immediately when clicked

Added: Project list shows skeleton placeholder cards on first launch instead of a spinner

Added: Project cards rise in with a staggered animation when switching categories or filter tabs — only visible cards animate, so long lists cost nothing extra

Added: Project thumbnails are preloaded before cards mount — no pop-in effect when opening the app or switching categories

Added: Software launch button in Project Details now shows an animated status — a comet running around the card border while launching, a success ring with a check mark when done, then the session timer takes over

Fixed: Houdini Time Tracking — when Houdini is launched through Steam (Steam Indie / Apprentice with Steam closed), the session now follows the process when Steam relaunches it. Previously the session ended immediately because Steam's launcher exits the initial process before Houdini opens

Fixed: Finance — prepaid projects whose prepayment amount covers the full project cost are automatically marked as Paid. Previously they stayed in "Prepaid / Pending" indefinitely
