History was appended to on every recorded run and never trimmed, and every
event re-sorted the whole slice and re-measured the Job, Detail and Log
columns across every row. The per-run cost therefore grew with the number of
rows, in exactly the mode the app is designed for: left in the tray for days.
The session History now keeps the newest maxHistoryRows (1000) records, the
way maxJobLogs caps a job's own activity list, and drops the oldest from the
front, zeroing the tail so a dropped record's full captured output is not
kept alive by the backing array. Column widths move into a historyLog value
that folds each new record into the current maxima instead of rescanning.
Widths only grow within a theme, so a column never narrows when a record ages
out; a theme change is the one case that still rescans, because every stored
width was measured at the old text size.
Measured with a throwaway benchmark over 5000 accumulated records: one
refresh went from 15.8 ms to 0.9 ms. At the new cap the full width rescan
alone costs 1.5 ms, so both halves of the fix carry weight.
