Description
Hi,
BrewBrowser 0.3.2 with Homebrew 6.0.17 freezes when making multiple searches in the "Discover" area. Usually beginning with the third search the app just stops to react and has to be killed manually.
I’m using a Mac Studio under macOS 26.6.1.
Many thanks!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the freeze in the Discover area with BrewBrowser 0.3.2 and Homebrew 6.0.17, making repeated package searches until the third search. Trace the Discover search flow and determine why the app stops responding; done means multiple searches complete without requiring the app to be killed.
