Bug fixes

• Fixed the Read APK file step showing extra Initializing patcher subtext on some runtimes
• Fixed Prepare split APK substep ordering so skipped and non-skipped merge rows stay grouped consistently
• Reworked patcher progress handling across all runtimes so Write patched APK uses structured grouped progress instead of inconsistent fallback row creation
• Fixed the patch selector action popup collapsing after toggling patches even when Collapse actions after toggling patches is disabled #338
• Fixed patch selector action popup behavior so patch toggles no longer dismiss it as an outside click when auto-collapse is turned off #338
• Fixed patch bundle update notifications showing the default bundle name instead of the user’s custom bundle name after a successful update #364
• Fixed bundle auto-update progress text so custom bundle names remain consistent throughout checking, downloading, and finalizing stages #364
• Fixed the Recommended for this device merge split APK preset including extra ABI splits by preferring the device’s primary ABI
• Fixed merge split tools progress grouping so skipped split rows remain grouped separately from non-skipped rows
• Fixed the native library stripping toggle handler on the choose-splits dialog to use a stable explicit toggled state path
• Fixed merge split APK filter switching so selecting Remove extra native libraries resets previous preset exclusions first, instead of carrying over exclusions from filters like Exclude unused languages or Recommended for this device #361
• Fixed Settings and Update action buttons wrapping awkwardly under Android screen zoom #379
• Fixed URV sometimes crashing when patching ran out of memory with the experimental patcher disabled #349
• Fixed patcher progress sometimes lagging behind the foreground notification during the early Write patched APK phase #390
• Fixed a few UI edge cases, including hidden RGB values in the custom YouTube asset color picker, clearer patch-profile empty-state wording for downloaded apps, and duplicate saved-entry normalization when overwrite protection is enabled #291 #279
• Hardened remote patch bundle updating, API fallback handling, and bundle refresh state management #372
• Fixed version assessment so universal-fallback APKs still respect the universal patches safeguard even when suggested-version enforcement is relaxed
• Fixed bundle and profile count text so selected, enabled/disabled, and import/export messages use the correct singular or plural wording #385 #384
