    Beta release.

    Beta release. Preserves Lab and OKLCH values outside sRGB instead of clamping them; a warning explains display limitations. Updates the direct-download auto-updater to Sparkle 2.10.0 to fix CVE-2025-10016 (#296). The Pro picker works on every display (#302); its cursor hides over the loupe when launched from a shortcut or the menu bar. Escape restores both value text and swatch. Editing a value no longer shrinks its text, and clicking elsewhere deselects it. Copy and the system picker appear over the readout, Swap over the swatch; labels appear after one second and Swap rotates once per click.
