Connection Switch Stability — Switching between already-open connections no longer causes unnecessary URL reloads
Connection Switch Race Condition — Clicking a remote connection while the local server is still starting no longer gets overridden when the local connection finishes loading

Spotlight Focus — Spotlight now reliably appears after interacting with the main window or webview (fixed blur-during-show race condition on macOS)
