What is new in Open Contexts 0.3.10

### Added

- Add “Close Window” to the window context menu, separate from “Quit App”, and respect the app's normal close confirmation. Disable the action when the window has no available close button.

### Changed

- Manual window dragging follows the chosen drop position and shifts other pinned windows to match. Automatic refreshes continue to preserve the saved pinned positions.

### Fixed

- Dropping a window on a group header inserts it at the start of the group, preventing the preview from jumping between positions while the pointer stays still.

### 新增

- 窗口右键菜单新增“关闭窗口”，与“退出应用”分开，并遵循应用原有的关闭确认流程；窗口没有可用关闭按钮时，该选项灰显。

### 调整

- 手动拖动窗口时按指定落点排序，其他固定窗口随新顺序顺延；自动刷新继续保持已保存的固定位置。

### 修复

- 拖动窗口到分组标题时插入组首，避免鼠标停在同一位置时预览反复跳动。
