+- **Further memory leak fix** - v0.4.2 fix was still incomplete
+  - Changed `$in_shortcode_context` boolean to `$shortcode_context_depth` counter to properly handle nested shortcodes
+  - Added shortcode context protection to `template-wrapper.php` for single page views
+  - This fixes the remaining recursion path where `the_content` filter was still being applied when viewing single FediStream posts (artists, albums, tracks, playlists)
