🧪 LeanType 4.2.7 Beta (Build 1)

🛠️ Input & Stability Fixes

• Word Replacement & Backspace Desync: Resolved cursor desync and text duplication during word replacement and rapid backspacing in RichInputConnection.
• Backup & Restore UI Freeze: Eliminated main thread CountDownLatch blocking during backup and restore operations to prevent ANRs.
• Mode Switch Touch Protection: Fixed PointerTracker touch state transitions so switching layouts (?123 / ABC) does not trigger accidental space or 'x' clicks upon release.
• Settings Startup Race: Decoupled preference change listener registration from onCreate to prevent early callback race conditions.
• Voice Status Crash Fix: Resolved a NullPointerException on null drawable during voice status display and theme color updates.

⌨️ Layout & Honeycomb Engine

• Hexagonal Honeycomb Layout Engine: Native integration of authentic Typewise and hex QWERTY layouts (hex_typewise & hex_qwerty) with axial hit detection, twin spacebars, and vector rendering.
• Landscape Hex Ergonomic Split: Positioned hex keys at each end of the screen with a central gap in landscape mode, preserving comfortable key sizing and natural thumb reachability.
• Central Gap Touch Clamping: Added distance threshold clamping in HexKeyDetector to eliminate ghost touches when tapping in the central landscape gap.

🎨 Appearance & Customization

• Popup Key Vertical Offset: Added an adjustable popup position slider (0–10 dp) in Settings → Appearance with refined preview animations.
• Key Long-Press Mapping: Added select mode long-press mapping and refined spacebar long-press behavior.
• Dictionary & Locale Preservations: Synchronously synchronized emoji settings during dictionary resets to avoid reload churn; preserved Catalan dictionary folder ('ca') from legacy cleanup.
• Diagnostics & Documentation: Logged missing system glide typing library as INFO instead of WARN; added comprehensive keycodes and actions reference to FEATURES.md.
