- Optimized state writes with dirty-field tracking, batched snapshot persistence, and cached library projections for large libraries.
- Accelerated import scanning, metadata batching, and archive inspection throughput.
- Streamlined BigBox CoverFlow rendering and indexed title search matching.
- Improved native host startup responsiveness with non-blocking IPC polling.
Changed
