v1.0.4

Hardens Windows prerequisite setup and improves compatibility with endpoint security software.

Changes

  • Replaced the PowerShell-based WSL, Ubuntu, and Docker prerequisite flow with a fixed-purpose native Windows helper.
  • Removed PowerShell from NetWatch's prerequisite installation path.
  • Added installer heartbeat and interruption detection so blocked or terminated setup operations are reported instead of hanging or being mistaken for success.
  • Added stronger Ubuntu provisioning checks to distinguish a registered distro from a fully initialized and usable installation.
  • Added a safe recovery flow for incomplete Ubuntu first-run setup.
  • Preserved NetWatch's existing UAC boundary: Setup remains unelevated and requests elevation only for required WSL machine servicing.
  • Preserved Docker download restrictions and Windows signature verification before installation.
  • Improved handling of partially completed prerequisite installations without automatically resetting or unregistering user data.
  • Updated installer and security documentation for the native prerequisite architecture.

The new prerequisite flow was validated on a clean Windows system with Malwarebytes Real-Time and Exploit Protection enabled at aggressive detection settings.
