RawCull Changelog — v1.8.0 → 1.8.1

A stability and resource-hygiene release. Focus is on eliminating main-thread hangs in the zoom preview, tightening security-scoped resource lifecycles, and fixing actor-isolation gaps in the rsync copy path.

🔒 Security-Scoped Resource Lifecycle

Catalog access is now scoped to the active catalog, not every catalog ever opened in the sidebar. Long sessions no longer accumulate stale security-scoped accesses.
Added explicit startSecurityScopedAccess(for:), stopSecurityScopedAccess(for:), and stopActiveSecurityScopedAccess() on RawCullViewModel.
Catalog cancellation and app shutdown both route through the same cleanup path; deinit is now a last-resort fallback rather than the primary stop point.
Picker flow simplified — view no longer manually pairs start/stop calls.

⚡ Zoom Preview — No More Main-Thread Hangs

ZoomPreviewHandler sidecar JPG decode moved off the MainActor into a Task.detached(priority: .userInitiated).
Opening the zoom overlay on a large Sony JPEG no longer blocks the UI while ImageIO opens and decodes the file.
Cancellation is now checked between every async step, so dismissing the overlay early stops in-flight work cleanly.
loadCGImage(from:) and the disk-cache accessor are marked nonisolated to make the off-main path explicit.

🛠️ Rsync Copy Path (`ExecuteCopyFiles`)

Security-scoped URLs for source and destination are now paired with a single, idempotent cleanup() call covering: rsync success, launch failure, user close/cancel, sheet dismissal, and deinit.
Progress streaming callback hops to @MainActor before touching progressContinuation, removing a latent actor-isolation race that strict concurrency would flag.
Progress continuations and streaming handler state are finished/cleared exactly once.

🧵 Catalog Loading & Cancellation

startCatalogLoad(for:) short-circuits cleanly when the active catalog already has live security-scoped access — no redundant cancel/restart cycles.
cancelCatalogLoad() now also clears currentselectedSource and stops active security-scoped access, preventing a new load from racing previous cleanup.

🧪 Tests

New RawCullViewModelSecurityScopeTests covering start/stop pairing, re-selection no-op behavior, and cancellation cleanup.
ThumbnailProvider* tests updated for the refreshed memory and cancellation surface.

🧹 Cleanup

Removed legacy documents/ver176.md; added documents/ver181.md capturing the v1.8.0 review findings actually shipped in this release.
Minor follow-ups in RawCullViewModel+Catalog, SharpnessScoringModel, and project settings.
