Release v0.14.1 — fix Support view crash, add proxy/Tor support

Fixes a crash that blanked the Support (About/donate) view with React
error #130 on every release build since v0.13.2. react-qr-code ships
CommonJS, and since the Vite 8 / Rolldown migration its default import
resolved to the module namespace object ({ QRCode, default }) instead of
the component, making <QRCode/> an invalid element. AboutView now unwraps
the import to the real component. Reproduced against the production bundle
and verified fixed the same way.

Also ships the configurable HTTP/SOCKS5 network proxy (incl. Tor) from
PR #10 by Anderseta, merged earlier: routes relay WebSockets, Rust-side
fetches and update checks through the proxy. The proxy settings and the
README/CHANGELOG note that DNS is not yet guaranteed private (issue #11).

Adds a Contributors section to the README (Anderseta, SondreB).

+
+            - **Fixed the Support view crash.** Opening Support showed a blank "Vega crashed" screen. This affected every release build since v0.13.2; it now opens correctly.
+            - **Network proxy (HTTP / SOCKS5), including Tor.** A new Settings section routes Vega's traffic — including update checks — through a proxy. Thanks to [Anderseta](https://github.com/Anderseta) for contributing this (#10). Note: the proxy routes traffic but does not yet guarantee DNS privacy.

             ### v0.14.0 — Vega moves to its own app identifier
 
             Vega's internal app identifier changes from `com.hoornet.vega` to `com.veganostr.Vega`, so it is anchored to a domain the project controls. This is a prerequisite for publishing Vega on Flathub and winget, and it makes the app's identity consistent across every platform.

+## v0.14.1 — Fix Support view crash, add proxy/Tor support (2026-07-15)
+
+### Fixed
+- **Support view no longer crashes.** Opening Support (the About/donate view) crashed the app with a blank "Vega crashed" screen (React error #130). `react-qr-code` ships CommonJS, and since the Vite 8 / Rolldown migration (v0.13.2) its default import resolved to the module namespace object instead of the component, making the QR code an invalid element. The import now unwraps to the real component. Reproduced and verified fixed against the production build.
+
+### Added
+- **Configurable network proxy (HTTP / SOCKS5), including Tor.** New section in Settings routes Vega's traffic — relay WebSockets, Rust-side fetches, and update checks — through a proxy. Contributed by [Anderseta](https://github.com/Anderseta) ([#10](https://github.com/hoornet/vega/pull/10)).
+- **Contributors section** in the README.
+
+### Known limitation
+- The proxy routes traffic but DNS may still resolve locally, so relay hostnames can leak. Full DNS privacy (e.g. `socks5h` for Tor) is not guaranteed yet — noted in the proxy settings and tracked in [#11](https://github.com/hoornet/vega/issues/11).

+## Contributors
+
+Vega is built by one person, but it's better because of the people who've pitched in. Thank you:
+
+- **[Anderseta](https://github.com/Anderseta)** — configurable HTTP/SOCKS5 network proxy, including Tor support, with the update checks routed through the proxy too ([#10](https://github.com/hoornet/vega/pull/10)).
+- **[SondreB](https://github.com/SondreB)** — Vega's first external contributor; early new-user-experience feedback that shaped onboarding ([#2](https://github.com/hoornet/vega/issues/2)).
