+🚨 Boot-loop breaker
+- If the app reloads three times within a minute, the boot guard now clears the
+  old app-shell worker/caches once and reloads into a clean shell before the
+  error panel can be trapped. Normal opens and reloads are unaffected.

 🩹 Remove the white flash from native boot
 - The document background is black before CSS loads, so a native launch can no
   longer flash white between the splash and the app shell.
