- External apps can opt into automatic cleanup when they exit, including tracked tasks, threads, files, directories, and memory.

- The shell identifies ELF binaries that cannot be executed instead of treating them as scripts.
- Shared icon fonts now offer distinct default and large sizes, with updated icons across the interface.
- ESP32 apps can load additional ELF formats when address mirroring is enabled.

- GPS settings safely refresh their device list when their window is hidden or its widgets are destroyed.

- Added executable detection to identify unsupported or invalid binaries before launch.
- App startup is now streamlined through separate registered-app and direct-execution interfaces.
