Bug fixes

• Image decode crash (Windows): Fixed a crash where the renderer process was terminated during image decoding due to a transient memory error, even when the system had sufficient memory available.

• Renderer relaunch during web update: Improved the renderer relaunch process during web updates so virtual memory held by the main window is released, reducing out-of-memory risk in long-running sessions.
• Download history memory leak: Fixed an issue where completed downloads remained in memory after finishing, causing memory usage to grow with each download until history was cleared.
• Renderer memory growth when minimized: Fixed an issue where renderer memory continued to grow after a web update reload while the app was minimized or running in the background.
