What is new in DisplayMode Menu 0.2.2

## [0.2.2] - 2026-03-13

### Fixed
- CG display reconfiguration callback now properly unregistered on `stopObserving()` using a stable function pointer, preventing callback accumulation on repeated start/stop cycles
- Replaced unsafe unretained context pointer in CG callback with retained ownership; observer is kept alive for the full registration lifetime and released on successful removal, eliminating potential use-after-free crash
- Menu now refreshes in-place on open so display mode changes are reflected on the first click rather than requiring a second click
- Notification for clipboard copy now checks and requests user authorization before delivery; silently skips on denial instead of posting with no effect
- Removed dead `isMenuOpen` state variable that was written but never read
