v0.4.2 — Pinned headers & layout polish

UI • Restore backup picker: pinned column headers, wider Backup column, right-aligned Size • INI restore picker: matching pinned header with "INI Backup" / "Size" columns
• All picker highlight colour changed to yellow for better visibility • Main menu entries shifted 1 left; INI submenu entries aligned with main menu • Spacer row between list content and status bar on all screens • Non-blocking info dialog for backup-in-progress (no button, auto-replaced)

Layout • Backup column widened from 30→38 chars; header/data total widths matched • Size header right-aligned above file-size values in both restore pickers • INI submenu header changed to cyan, shifted 3 right

Backup flow • No intermediate spinner page — info popup followed by summary dialog


v0.4.1 — Persistent config & split-layout picker

UI • Split-layout backup picker — file list on left, live GVAS metadata on right • pip highlight replaces background bar on all menus • Blank separator lines for visual grouping in menus • "Set Subnautica 2 location" and "Set backup location" menu entries • Context-aware header path — title bar shows the relevant file location for the current menu/screen

Configuration • Persistent app.ini — save folder and backup location survive sessions • Config stored in platform-standard directory (AppData/Local on Windows) • UE5 .ini backups stored in backups/ue5/ under the backup root • Logs moved to data_local_dir/NotAlterra/logs/

Security & Documentation • Security disclosure pipeline: SECURITY.md safe harbor, CVE template, bug report template, PR template • GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting enabled • All docs updated to accurately describe data persistence

Maintenance • Zero clippy warnings, zero fmt issues • 24/24 tests passing
