chore: release v0.24.4

An operator reporting "nothing happens for two or three seconds after I click"
was impossible to answer from opslog.log, because the first line applog writes
already sits inside startup(). Everything spent loading the binary and creating
the WebView2 environment happened before the log begins.

In one of the reported logs, startup() to window-visible is 251 ms end to end -
so whatever the wait is, it is not OpsLog initialising. It just could not be
proven, only asserted.

processStart is stamped on the first instruction of main. Two lines now bracket
the launch: how long was spent before startup() ran at all, and click-to-window,
which is the only number that matches what the operator experiences.

The filter panel has been tidied along one rule: a switch is a behaviour you turn on or off, chips pick any number from a set. Nothing appears in both shapes any more, the Lock buttons sit in the heading of the section they lock, every section can be cleared the same way, and the whole panel is finally translated.",
+      "DX cluster: the Spotter continent filter now actually matches. RBN skimmers report as VU2OY-# and cluster nodes as DL1ABC-2, and the suffix was passed straight to the prefix lookup, so every spot came back with no continent and the filter silently selected nothing.",
+      "A spot now stops being NEW the moment you log it. Logging announced the QSO but never dropped the cluster worked-index snapshot, so the refresh that follows re-read the answer computed BEFORE the contact — a station stayed yellow on the band map and in the cluster with the QSO plainly in the log, until something else happened to rebuild the index.",

The QSO table has carried the field since the first release and both ADIF import and export already handled it — only the station profile could not supply it, so an island activation meant typing the reference on every contact.",

The amp pushes status frames on the same socket it answers commands on, and it pushes them constantly once in OPERATE; OpsLog read one line per command and took whatever arrived first as its answer, so the stream slipped permanently one reply behind until a command timed out and the connection was dropped. Replies are now matched to the command that asked for them. Only ever visible over a remote link with the amplifier in OPERATE.",
+      "No colour on worked stations now does only that: it removes the blue already-worked mark and leaves everything else alone. It used to blank the spot status as well, and the status is what dims a quiet row — so turning the option on made every grey row bright white, which is the opposite of what it is for.",
+      "Grid squares in the cluster. Every CQ decoded over the WSJT-X UDP link carries the sender grid, and OpsLog now keeps it: a Grid column shows the square and NEW GRID flags one never worked, as a badge, a filled cell and a filter of its own. Whether a grid counts as new follows the group digital modes setting — with it on, a square worked on FT8 is no longer new on FT4; with it off the two are separate. Only stations your own receiver decodes have a grid: a cluster line carries the spotter grid at best, never the DX one. Turn the column on in Columns."

Le panneau de filtres a été remis d aplomb selon une seule règle : un interrupteur est un comportement qu on active ou non, les pastilles choisissent dans un ensemble. Plus rien n existe sous les deux formes, les boutons de verrouillage sont dans le titre de la section qu ils verrouillent, chaque section s efface de la même façon, et le panneau est enfin traduit.",

They now appear on the pill's left strip, in the same colours the DX-cluster list uses, so a fact is not blue in one panel and green in the next. They stack rather than replace: a worked entity that is also a new park shows both, the way the cluster list already spells them out side by side.
