Even death stars have an exhaust vent.

Improves social sync reliability after renderer recovery

Prevents dev sync trigger recovery from launching a duplicate Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn sync while the original provider job is still finishing.
Recovers hidden main renderers when WebKit resident memory grows past the idle cap, so stale WebKit memory does not block social sync preflight.
Recovers dev sync triggers that were left waiting after Freed Desktop rebuilt the renderer at the end of a social sync.
Reduces desktop sync renderer pressure after long social sync runs.

Freed now ships safer app recovery and steadier desktop validation.

Prevented the Linux social scraper window from crashing as it opens.
Cleaned up app recovery deferrals so Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn no longer show raw safe-mode timing noise in provider status.
Aligned LinkedIn feed sync with the shared social scrape queue so recovery pauses do not poison provider health or block later retries.
Reduced Friends graph interaction churn and stabilized desktop window compositing during recovery.
Pinned release-script Node routing, relaxed the scripted settings perf buffer that blocked the last dev build, and kept perf comparison comments from failing validation on read-only pull request tokens.

Hot WebKit recovery and unattended sync validation

Freed Desktop now recovers CPU-hot multi-GB WebKit renderer growth before the global high-memory ceiling
Facebook group refresh now reports group-list refresh state separately from Facebook post sync
Release notes now honor pinned same-day highlights so latest dev builds keep required carry-forward items
Release build and type-safety cleanup
Reader, feed, and header polish
Capture and scraper reliability fixes
Terminal Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn sync triggers now fail zero-post, deferred, paused, or unauthenticated runs instead of reporting false success

Run installed sync soaks from the terminal
