 - Cleared the digitization-routines map at the start of `loadDigitizationPlugins()` so that
   `emplace()` cannot silently reuse stale plugin objects from a prior load.
+- Cleared accumulated GUI visualization event drawings on setup-tab geometry
+  reloads so hits and trajectories from a previous run are not redrawn with the
+  newly loaded system.
+- Made the setup-tab experiment/system column resize after initial population,
+  matching the readable sizing already applied after user selections.
+- Made the GUI follow the active Qt palette more consistently, including
+  theme-aware setup tables, log/search widgets, geometry-tree color controls,
+  navigation SVG buttons, and splash-screen rendering.
+- Added theme-specific rasterized splash images for the built-in GEMC
+  architecture splash and a configurable scale plus palette-aware border.
 - Removed the need for GEMC-specific environment variables in Python example
   workflows: the API runs through the `pygemc` module, and users only need the
   executable in `PATH`.

 - Removed redundant `dev` prefixes from deploy and sanitizer matrix job names.
 - Updated CodeQL to use `build-mode: none` for all analyzed languages and
   removed the manual Geant4 container build from the analysis workflow.
+- Made installed examples database generation skip cleanly when sanitizer
+  builds intentionally skip installing the Python environment.
 - Added analyzer coverage in `pygemc` for y-vs-x plotting and CLI image output.

 - Kept GUI reload system selections descriptor-only and cloned fresh systems for
   each Geant4 construction, avoiding duplicate `root` volumes when running after
   a setup-tab reload.
+- Reset Geant4 visualization accumulation before setup-tab geometry reloads and
+  before the pre-run geometry handoff; after reload the GUI redraws geometry
+  only, then re-adds hit and trajectory models immediately before `BeamOn`.
+- Added a deferred setup-tab column resize after the initial Qt event-loop pass
+  so startup column widths match post-selection widths.
+- Updated GUI widgets that previously used fixed light colors or static SVG
+  rendering so they resolve colors from the current Qt palette.
+- Added light and dark PNG variants for the GEMC architecture splash and select
+  the resource from the current application palette to avoid Qt SVG CSS
+  rendering differences.
+- Skipped installed examples database generation when
+  `GEMC_SKIP_PYTHON_ENV_INSTALL=1` or the installed `python_env` interpreter is
+  absent, fixing sanitizer installs that intentionally omit the Python
+  environment.
 - Better generator statistics for some examples
 - Api and analyzer moved to pygemc module 
 - Examples and tests adapted to use pygemc
