Fixed

  • Force-closing a browser now only touches that browser, in this session.
    The second pass, the one that catches whatever outlived the main process,
    used to terminate any pid from the list that was still a live process —
    and Windows hands pid numbers straight back out, with three seconds of
    waiting for it to happen. It now re-lists the browser by name and keeps the
    intersection, so a number that came back as something else is left alone.
    The list of processes is narrowed to the current logon session as well: the
    same account can be signed in twice, on the console and over RDP, and the
    other session's browser has windows nobody here can see. And Firefox is
    finally read correctly — its children are marked -contentproc, not
    --type=, so every firefox.exe used to pass for a main process and be
    terminated one by one.
  • The command line refuses an ambiguous line instead of measuring the wrong
    thing.
    --rules a,a measured that rule twice and counted its files twice
    in the totals; a repeated id is now kept once. A second --rules silently
    replaced the first: it is a usage error, exit 2. And the arguments are read
    as args_os, so a line carrying bytes that are not valid text is refused
    with the usage rather than panicking — in a windowed binary, that panic had
    no console to print to.
  • The release notes no longer imply the portable executable is signed.
    Only the installers go through SignPath; the note the workflow writes once
    they are signed now says so, and the README and docs/releasing.md say it
    too.
  • The quit confirmation is announced, and the focus goes somewhere. The
    confirmation next to a background browser is a live region now, so its
    sentence is read out as it appears. Once the quit goes through, the banner
    and the button that raised it disappear together and the focus used to fall
    to the top of the page: it lands on Analyze instead, and back on the Quit
    button when the browser refused to die.

Installers are unsigned until SignPath signing is configured in the repository secrets — see docs/code-signing.md.
