A maintenance update for trackpad gestures and shortcut conflicts.

Gestures are ignored while these are on screen.

ClickFit 2.0 rebuilds the menu bar interface, adds a full 3×3 grid to the tiling engine, and brings back support for macOS 14 Sonoma.
New Features

The menu bar UI is now a single panel where every section expands in place.

- Swipe Down Trackpad Gestures
Bind a 3-finger or 4-finger downward swipe to any action.

A vertical six-up arrangement for tall and portrait displays.

Record a shortcut on the layout tile or action row itself, and reset any binding with Restore Default.
