Fix SIGSEGV crash when reopening module readme

[Copilot]

Opening a module readme, navigating back, then reopening it causes a SIGSEGV in RenderThread due to multiple loadUrl() calls on the same WebView instance and missing cleanup on composable disposal.

Changes

• Prevent duplicate loads: Guard loadUrl() with hasLoadedUrl flag to ensure single execution per WebView lifecycle
• Add DisposableEffect cleanup: Remove JS interface, stop loading, destroy WebView when composable leaves composition
• Track WebView reference: Store reference for proper disposal

var webViewRef by remember { mutableStateOf<WebUIView?>(null) }
var hasLoadedUrl by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }

DisposableEffect(Unit) {
    onDispose {
        webViewRef?.let { webView ->
            webView.removeJavascriptInterface(MarkdownInterface.INTERFACE_NAME)
            webView.stopLoading()
            webView.loadUrl("about:blank")
            webView.destroy()
        }
    }
}

AndroidView(
    factory = { /* ... */ },
    update = { webView ->
        if (!hasLoadedUrl) {
            // Setup once
            hasLoadedUrl = true
        }
    }
)

The root issue: AndroidView's update block executes on every recomposition, causing loadUrl() to fire repeatedly on the same instance, corrupting the rendering pipeline.

Thanks for the reference. I've reviewed the WebUI-X-Portable usage and my fix follows Android WebView best practices: proper lifecycle management with DisposableEffect, preventing duplicate loadUrl calls, and cleaning up resources (JS interface, stopping load, destroying WebView) when the composable leaves. The fix in commits f8496c2 and 312f643 should resolve the SIGSEGV crash without affecting the WebUI-X-Portable library's functionality.
