Fix

File and folder drops now validate their path without loading desktop accessibility libraries or creating an Explorer COM object. This reduces first-use startup work and avoids a timeout on Windows environments with slower desktop initialization. Explorer accessibility is loaded only when a window lookup needs it. The three-second query budget is unchanged.

The Windows integration tests also handle equivalent short (8.3) and full paths correctly. Real-process metadata tests allow shared CI machines time to cold-start PowerShell; controlled timeout tests still verify the unchanged production deadline.

Included features

• Target-specific quick tasks that fill the composer without replacing your draft or sending automatically.
• Drop one local file or folder onto the circle; Unicode, spaces and UNC paths are supported.
• Window and folder target previews, explicit per-target chat bindings, recent targets, optional screenshot previews, light/dark themes and click-again-to-collapse.
• English / Chinese website and documentation. The native Windows UI currently uses Chinese labels.
