Changelog

Window movement, focus, and scene reliability

• BehobenRapid consecutive Push commands no longer let an older delayed reconcile overwrite the newest zone mapping
• BehobenSuperseded focus and cycle requests stop before they can steal focus back from the newest request
• VerbessertPush activation no longer includes three fixed 30 ms main-thread sleeps—90 ms removed from the path, not an end-to-end benchmark
• VerbessertMeasured Warp context: Zone 3↔4 Push commits fell from 731.8/685.5 ms to 90.2/95.4 ms (87.7%/86.1%); this geometry path already shipped in 1.4.1 build 275 and is the baseline carried into 1.4.2, not a 1.4.2-only gain

• BehobenLegacy scene layout references now migrate correctly and the migration completion marker is saved to the intended directory

• BehobenRapid window boundary hotkeys no longer replay stale geometry targets

Chromium window fixes & direct zone hotkeys
