Highlights
- Soft throttle under CPU / RAM / disk pressure (Soft only Critical Guard by default)

- Focus-aware boost; focused app tree never throttled or paused
- Last-resort pause (opt-in) with durable ledger + auto-resume after crash/kill
- Whitelist for games/apps; abuse / miner heuristics (not antivirus)
