// Highlights
+ Added "Image Analysis" workspace with the following tools:

  ▸ Overview
  ▸ Image View

  ▸ Metadata
    - File Header: raw header/EXIF hex view with parsed tag annotations
    - Metadata Details: structured table (Group / Description / Value)
    - Thumbnail Check: extracted thumbnail preview + Difference Map, size/status readout, Reload

  ▸ Tampering
    - Error Level Map (ELA): Compression Quality, Detail Level, Highlight Strength; Linear Mode / B&W View; Default reset; runtime/status
    - Contrast Adjustment: Analysis Method (e.g., Channel Consistency), Patch Size selector, Run Analysis, heatmap output
    - Clone Detection: Detection Method (e.g., BRISK); Sensitivity, Similarity Threshold, Minimum Distance, Grouping Level; Hide Connections / Show Markers; Load Mask; On/Off; Process
    - Filter Detection: Minimum Texture, Detection Threshold; Show Probability Map; Remove Speckles; Run Analysis
    - Resampling Check: Filter Size; Upsample Image; Remove Image Wrap; Use Center Only; Apply Hanning Window; High-pass Filter 1/2; Gamma Correction; Rescale Spectrum; Run Probability/Fourier Analysis; progress bar; spectrum/probability outputs

+ UI/UX: refreshed visuals, improved spacing and typography, clearer controls and tooltips, streamlined layouts
+ Usability: smoother navigation, consistent focus/selection behaviors, inline status messages and progress feedback

// Highlights
+ Added three new right-click menu filters:

+ Fixed progressive numbering bugs during analysis and export

// Highlights
+ Dramatically reduced memory usage: analysis scales to practically unlimited files with a steady RAM footprint
