This build focuses on steadier board scanning and a smoother first run: • Steadier board detection — the grid now holds its lock through endgames and sparse positions instead of drifting. • Clearer spoken moves — announced moves now pronounce the square names correctly. • Bug Fixes — resolved a crash when opening the position editor, plus other stability improvements.
