+- A queued dashboard selection event no longer crashes during shutdown after

 - A busy writer no longer drops an automatic game-close backup. Deferred backup
   requests survive restart and retry before uploads; their health warning stays

+### Upgrade notes
+
+- Quit older watcher processes before upgrading, then restart `gsg auto` or
+  `gsg watch` so every process uses the new writer lock. Automatic retries need
+  a watcher running; `gsg retry` and dashboard **u** also work on demand.
+- Existing save records migrate automatically without changing your cloud
+  settings or inventing historical upload timestamps. Older uploads may show
+  "not recorded" for their upload time until a new upload completes.
+- Pending or blocked snapshots can temporarily exceed `max_versions`. Their
+  files and history are retained so an outage cannot prune an unsent save.
