OpenBoot v0.34.1

Improvements

• Security hardening — Shell injection prevention, input validation for remote configs, HTTP response body size limits, and URL scheme enforcement
• Concurrency safety — Fixed data races in progress bars and prevented double-close panics on channels
• Error handling — Better error propagation throughout: brew doctor tolerance, npm list resilience, macOS preferences warn-and-continue, and zshrc backup safety
• Post-install guard — Silent/CI mode now requires explicit --allow-post-install flag to run remote post-install scripts

Bug Fixes

• Snapshot capture — Fixed nil panics when type assertions fail during environment capture
• Shell restore — Multiline plugins=(...) blocks in .zshrc now matched correctly during restore
• Scroll position — Search input in package selector now resets scroll to top
