v0.9.0

- **Mirror Install**: New Linux Mirrors install method with automatic mirror speed probing (throughput detection + TCP latency fallback), hash verification, and auto-retry;
- **System Messaging**: New system messaging framework for delivering critical notifications such as version compatibility risks and key announcements;
- **Pin on Top**: Title bar pin button for one-click always-on-top toggle; setting to hide the pin button;
- **Donate Page**: Sidebar donate entry and dedicated donate view; sidebar visibility controlled via settings;
- **Multilingual Expansion**: 21 new languages added, reaching 50 total; language selector upgraded from dropdown to a dedicated dialog (including README manuals)
- **Install Guide**: Home page shows setup guide link when no distro is detected; clicking opens the official documentation;
- **WSL Version Compatibility Check**: Automatic WSL version compatibility detection on startup; shows a warning dialog and directs users to documentation when incompatible
- **Move Distro Improvement**: Move operation uses elevated execution to avoid E_ACCESSDENIED on WSL 2.7.*.0; post-move registry verification to confirm success;
- **Debug Mode**: New debug.toml configuration file; supports loading local JSON data source for mirror install and executing local cleanup scripts for distro compression, useful for development and testing;
- **Task Scheduler Refactor**: Unified TaskScheduler; dialog sync, message sync, expiry detection, and WSL compat detection split into independent task modules for better decoupling;
- **Dialog Priority Management**: DND (Do Not Disturb) mechanism with priority chain — WSL Compat > Expired > Update dialogs — ensuring higher-priority dialogs are never obscured;
- **Startup Performance**: Fixed memory spike caused by bold font rendering in certain scenarios; removed startup API pre-warm; internet timestamp now returned from startup API;
- **API Cache Layer**: In-memory API response cache; cache updates only on successful remote requests, reducing redundant network calls;
- **Distro List Cache Fix**: Fixed an issue where the home page distro list still displayed cached data after unregistering all distros;
- **Update Timeout Notification**: Added a network timeout notification dialog during version update checks;
- **Compression Path Fix**: Fixed path issues during distribution compression;
- **Terminal Launch Compatibility**: Optimized compatibility when launching the distribution terminal;
- **Installer Path Safety Fix**: Fixed an issue in the Inno Setup installer where manually typed install paths were not auto-completed with the "WSL Dashboard" subdirectory, preventing accidental deletion of other files in the target directory during uninstall;
