v5.24.19: actual fix for VNC over SSH tunnel + VNC username field (#104)
Nesos-ita followed up on v5.24.18 noting VNC-through-SSH still didn't
connect. They were right — the v5.24.14 "localhost → 127.0.0.1" change
fixed a different code path (pure VNC connect), not the one their
Haven actually uses (saved-on-SSH-profile VNC). Their netcat test
confirmed: Haven was closing the TCP socket immediately without even
reading the RFB protocol version.
Root cause: `DesktopViewModel.addVncSession` set

New in version 5.24.12
v5.24.12: resumable paste — survives connection drops and app restarts
Paste is now persistent. Every leaf file in a copy/paste is recorded to
a queue table before the transfer starts, and each file's progress
cursor is written back to disk as bytes flow. When something
interrupts the transfer — WiFi drop, SFTP server bouncing, the app
being killed, the phone rebooting — the SFTP tab comes back up with
a banner at the top showing how many files are still pending:
Unfinished paste
46 files
