Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash while reordering pinned items in the side panel on Windows 11, then inspect the attached debug.log for the failure and any indication of which entries were removed. Trace the relevant side-panel and pin-reordering entry points once identified; done means reordering no longer freezes or crashes and pinned entries remain present.
