Research direction
Reproduce the crash on Windows by dragging a file from an open rfd dialog into a winit window, and capture the smallest example that triggers STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION. Then trace the Windows-specific dialog and window drag-and-drop handling. Done means the same interaction no longer reports heap corruption and the behavior is covered by a reproducible test or example.
