stonerl/Thaw 1.0.1-beta.6 on GitHub

High-priority system messages are now written to both the console and diagnostic log files to assist with troubleshooting.

Implemented a health check and recovery system for HID events and event taps; the app now automatically detects and resets if system monitors become stuck or invalidated.
Added a 5-second timeout to internal semaphores to prevent the app from permanently disabling input if a task is delayed or lost.

Hot Corner Protection: Adjusted synthesized drag events to stay 5 pixels from the top of the screen, preventing accidental activation of macOS Hot Corners.
Active Screen Targeting: On multi-monitor setups, the hidden section and Ice Bar now only appear on the monitor with the active menu bar.
Position Verification: Added a polling loop and post-move verification to ensure items actually reach their destination and stabilize before interaction.
Improved rehide detection for apps with non-standard popup windows using a 2-second grace interval and window scanning.

Icon Scaling: Icons in the Ice Bar now scale to fill the available height, preventing them from appearing too small on large displays.
Show Desktop Fix: The Ice Bar now remains stationary and visible during "Show Desktop" gestures.
Layout Refresh: The layout pane now correctly refreshes new items even if the Settings window was already open.
Persistence: Added logic to automatically relocate items back to their original sections if an app quits or relaunches unexpectedly.

Reduced the blacklist cooldown from 5 minutes to 30 seconds for faster recovery of transient items.
Cached images are now preserved for items with recent capture failures to prevent empty icons.
Added deduplication to prevent duplicate window reports during move operations.
