🚀 LeanType 4.3.2-beta1

🐛 Fixed

• Fast Typing Duplicate Capitalization & Auto-Caps Race (#598, #743): Resolved capitalization timing bugs during rapid typing and multi-finger gestures. Evaluates pointer state via hasOlderLetterKeyDown() so held spacebars or sentence boundary punctuation do not prematurely unshift auto-caps, preserves shift-retention states across key detection cycles, allows case-insensitive character matching without fragile queue element lifetimes, and guards cursor capitalization calculations against asynchronous selection updates and empty text cache invalidations.
• Layout Popup Keys Priority Over Auto-Generated Symbols (#772): Reordered default popup key priority (POPUP_KEYS_LAYOUT before POPUP_KEYS_SYMBOLS) and migrated legacy preferences so explicitly defined layout popups (such as Bengali 'খ' on 'ক') are directly accessible instead of being buried behind secondary mathematical and punctuation symbols.
• Custom Theme Functional Keys & Spacebar Pressed Color (#771): Fixed pressed feedback colors on functional keys and spacebar in custom borderless color palettes, ensuring responsive and consistent visual feedback on keypress across all theme variations.

✨ Added

• Automation Broadcast Receiver for Layout & Subtype Switching (#501): Added external broadcast intent support (ACTION_SWITCH_SUBTYPE, ACTION_SWITCH_LAYOUT, ACTION_SWITCH_MODE) for automation apps (Tasker, Automate, MacroDroid, ADB shell). Allows switching keyboard modes (alpha, symbols, numpad, emoji, clipboard, text_edit, one_handed), cycling subtypes sequentially (next/prev or step count), jumping to specific subtype indices, and matching target languages, locales, or layout names.
• Bracket, Symbol & CJK Quote Auto-Pairing (#754): Added automatic closing symbol insertion in Text Correction settings for brackets (), [], {}, <>, quotation marks, and CJK book and quotation marks (《》, 「」, 『』, 【】). Includes cursor step-over when manually typing the matching closing mark and pair deletion when backspacing an empty pair, complete with localized settings strings across all 30 languages.
• Plain Text Export for User Dictionaries (#431): Added plain text export functionality in Personal Dictionary settings, enabling users to export all user dictionaries or individual locale wordlists to standard .txt files compatible with third-party tools and backup utilities.
• Suppress Repeating Auto-Correction Reverted by Backspace (#415): Integrated RevertedCorrectionHistory in the suggestion engine to remember corrections reverted by backspacing, preventing the keyboard from repeatedly re-applying the unwanted auto-correction on subsequent space presses in the same input session.
• Prioritized Inline Autofill on Password Fields (#416): Elevated inline autofill credential chips prominently above password and account fields for immediate access during logins.

🧪 Tests & Quality

• Shift & Auto-Caps Unit Test Suite: Added a comprehensive Robolectric unit test suite (KeyboardStateShiftTest.kt) covering fast typing sequences, two-finger chording, and auto-caps unshift behaviors to prevent regressions in typing mechanics.
