Bug Fix: Window Focus
The Previous Problem
After updates or restarts, the desktop application window might lose focus, requiring manual clicking to continue input.

Window is now automatically focused after updates and restarts, so you can continue using it directly.
Bug Fix: Prompt History Navigation
The Previous Problem
When using up/down arrows to view prompt history, sometimes history would switch at arbitrary positions in the middle of the input box, providing poor user experience.
