New features:
• Pick which Apple Reminders account new lists are created in, both during onboarding and later in Settings.
• New Siri Shortcuts setup guide with step-by-step screenshots, reachable from Settings under Background Sync.
• Cancel a backup restore while it's still in the safe phase.
• New app icon.
Improvements:
• Sync-lock retry button renamed to "Retry Without Taking Over" when a takeover is possible, making the choice explicit.
• Daily backups fall back to alternate destinations when the preferred destination is unavailable, instead of silently failing.
• Activity-log retention now defaults to on for new users, so the activity log self-prunes by default.
• Backups settings warn clearly when daily backups are off, when storage is set to Local only, and when reminders sync via iCloud (where backups can duplicate items on a fresh device).
• The Activity log view loads quickly even with very long histories.
• Backup imports accept both compressed and plain JSON files.
• The backup-action spinner now appears on the button you actually tapped.
• Restore overlay shows the current step (Preparing, Safety backup, Restoring, Finalizing), with the Cancel button emphasized and reliably tappable.
• The tab bar is hidden while a backup restore is in progress, so the restore can't be interrupted by switching tabs.
• Apple Reminders authorization refreshes when returning to onboarding or Settings from System Settings.
• The Apple Reminders source picker is hidden when only one source is available, and the wording around the "Automatic" option is clearer.
• Google sign-in stays valid longer near token expiry edges.
• Google Tasks list collection caches across launches, so list changes are detected faster on the next sync.
• Backup creation cleans up its temporary files even when it fails partway.
• Apple Reminders source picker stays visible when the previously selected account is temporarily missing, so it can be reselected.
• Google sign-in screen now explains why signing in with Google is necessary.
Bug fixes:
• Restoring a Google Drive backup during onboarding now creates the pre-restore safety backup it was supposed to create.
• Background sync no longer reads from the keychain when background sync is disabled.
• The activity log retention cutoff no longer drifts away from the user's chosen retention window.
• Backup app-version field shows "unknown" instead of a misleading "1.0" when it can't be read from the backup.
