What is new in BendMac 0.4.10

BendMac now starts the desktop fold without a black flash or a sudden size and position jump.

- Keep the overlay transparent until Metal draws its first frame.
- Wait for ScreenCaptureKit's first desktop frame before advancing the fold animation.
- Add regression coverage for delayed first-frame delivery.

The fix was verified with three recorded fold and open cycles on an M5 MacBook Air. This release addresses #9.
