Durable chat, fast large diffs, and smoother project imports

Chat providers survive daemon restarts #4766

Active chat providers remain attached across daemon restarts, preserving the conversation instead of forcing a fresh session.

Large files and diffs stay responsive #5175 #5172

Virtualized file and diff rendering keeps long reviews smooth while broader desktop responsiveness work reduces interface stalls.

Create or import a repository without waiting on setup #5092 #5127

Project setup can create a GitHub repository when needed, then open the board while provisioning continues in the background.

Browser screenshots, downloads, and Safari profile import #4994 #5285

The embedded browser can capture screenshots and download files, while macOS users can explicitly import an existing Safari profile.
