Added

• Splash → WebView Transition Animation — Splash now fades out while the WebView fades in using AnimatedOpacity. Duration configurable via setSplashTransitionDuration(). Defaults to 300ms.
• Crash Recovery UI — User-facing overlay with icon, message, and "Reload" button when the WebView renderer crashes. Customizable via crashOverlayBuilder in enableCrashRecovery().
• Force Update Module — FixitForceUpdate.check() fetches a remote JSON endpoint to compare version strings, returns a ForceUpdateResult, and can show a blocking or dismissible FixitForceUpdateScreen.
• Custom Page-Load Loader — enableCustomLoader() accepts a loaderBuilder that receives (BuildContext, double progress) to show an overlay during navigation.
