Summary by cubic

Expanded DevTools in About settings by replacing the flyout with a structured expander and adding test windows for Report, Progress, Plugin Update, and Message. This makes tools easier to find and test.

Summary of changes

  • Changed: Replaced the single DevTools button + flyout with a SettingsExpander listing each action as its own SettingsCard.
  • Added: Commands and UI to open test Report, Progress (async with cancel), Plugin Update, and Message windows; new localization strings for these actions and a generic "Open Folder" label.
  • Removed: The DevTools flyout menu and its grouped actions.
  • Memory impact: Minimal. Test windows are created on demand and disposed on close; the progress demo runs for up to 1 minute with small, temporary allocations.
  • Security risks: None. Actions are local-only (open folders, show windows); no new I/O, network, or privilege changes.
  • Unit tests: None added (UI-only changes).

Release Note
DevTools in About now shows clear buttons for each action and includes test windows for report, progress, plugin updates, and messages.

Written for commit f7dfda4. Summary will update on new commits.
