NOVA Station (GALIA) crashes when dragging pistol from inventory to equip; upgrades fail while pistol is equipped

On NOVA Station in GALIA, upgrading a pistol while it is currently equipped plays the upgrade animation but the pistol stats/upgrade do not apply. The player must unequip the pistol and keep it in the inventory to upgrade successfully. Additionally, dragging the pistol from the inventory onto the equip slot causes a full game crash. As a workaround, using right-click > Equip works without crashing.

1. Launch GALIA and load into NOVA Station.
2. Equip a pistol.
3. Attempt to upgrade the pistol while it is equipped (observe upgrade animation but no upgrade applied).
4. Unequip the pistol so it is only in the inventory, then upgrade it (upgrade applies).
5. Try to equip the pistol by dragging it from the inventory to the equip slot (game crashes).
6. As a comparison, right-click the pistol in inventory and select Equip (does not crash).

Upgrading a pistol should apply correctly whether the pistol is equipped or in the inventory. Equipping a pistol via drag-and-drop from inventory should not crash and should behave the same as right-click > Equip.
