Replace UI DispatcherTimer polling with a StudySnapshotRenderGate across multiple widgets to queue and apply only the latest analytics snapshot; components updated include StudyDeductionReasonsWidget, StudyEnvironmentWidget, StudyInterruptDensityWidget, StudyNoiseCurveWidget. Add StudySnapshotRenderGate implementation to coordinate rendering and monitoring leases and update subscription/lease lifecycle handling (subscribe/unsubscribe, Acquire/Dispose leases, Clear/Dispose gate). Rewrite chart controls (StudyNoiseCurveChartControl and StudyNoiseDistributionScatterChartControl) to use stable logical-time origins, split series into static vs dynamic tails, add geometry/sample caching, stable jitter/coordinate mapping helpers, and expose internal helpers & counts for testing. Add unit tests (StudyComponentRenderingTests) covering the render gate and chart behaviors (layer counts, logical X mapping, stable jitter, cache rebuild). These changes improve rendering correctness and performance by avoiding redundant renders and enabling deterministic chart layout.
Add automatic release version stamping and multiple launcher reliability improvements. The Release workflow now runs scripts/Set-ReleaseVersion.ps1 in build jobs to inject tag-derived Version/AssemblyVersion into project metadata; several .csproj/Directory.Build.props and app.manifest files were changed to use a dev placeholder. Introduced AppVersionProvider (and related runtime metadata) to centralize version resolution and updated DeploymentLocator to use it and to prefer package-root/version.json. Launcher startup flow was hardened: added startup success tracking, public-activation recovery path, improved success/fallback semantics, and related IPC handling. UI/UX fixes include OOBE entrance/exit animation improvements (scaling-aware, concurrent fade+translate) and minor window lifecycle reorder in DesktopShellHost. CommandContext now recognizes restart and key=value args. New DesktopTrayService and .trae spec files (spec, checklist, tasks) document shell/tray hardening work. Miscellaneous logging, comments and housekeeping edits across launcher and shared contracts to support the above.
- Update .csproj files automatically with version from git tag
- Ensures version consistency across all platforms (Windows/Linux/macOS)
- Version flow: git tag v1.0.1 .csproj updated app displays 1.0.1
- Add VERSION_SYNC_INFO.md documentation
- Supports all three build jobs: build-windows, build-linux, build-macos
