stonerl/Thaw 1.1.99-beta.9 on GitHub

Hello everyone,

here is beta 9, and we hopefully have finally fixed the random icon shuffling.

URL Scheme Integration

Registered thaw:// URL events for external tools (like Raycast) and added support to handle Apple Events.
Added CFBundleURLTypes to fully implement URL scheme handling for specific actions.

Startup & Layout Stability

Introduced a startup settling period to suppress restore operations during login.
Prevented the "icon parade" consisting of 10–15 seconds of continuous icon shuffling caused by app launch notifications.
Prevented a race condition during app restarts that could reverse icon order by stopping concurrent cache calls from saving the incorrect order.
Prevented multiple concurrent settling tasks from accumulating on setup re-entry by properly tracking and cancelling in-flight tasks.
Ensured user-initiated layout resets immediately end the settling period.
Fixed a bug where different apps sharing the same icon were conflated into a single logical item.
Resolved issues where clicking triggered the wrong item or caused auto-hide to twitch by comparing the instanceIndex to differentiate items.

Visual & UI Refinements

Aligned the control item hover background.
Fixed an issue where isManuallyHidingApplicationMenus could get stuck if a hide action failed.

Performance

Optimized menu bar height retrieval with a new caching mechanism to fix cursor sweep IPC floods.
Ensured stale menu bar height caches are cleared on reset.

Architecture

Removed redundant Sendable conformance that is already implicitly synthesized by the Swift compiler.
