Surface: Portable zip + optional HKCU autostart
Version: 0.2.0
GitHub: https://github.com/Dendro-X0/Unstick/releases/tag/v0.2.0
Why 0.2.0
Mem Lock quality bar + packaging maturity + Guard UX polish after the v0.1.x portable beta.
Highlights
- Mem Lock L4 false-positive proof — Hard never latches on mapped-I/O / IDE-like load when paging evidence is absent (
Verify-MemLock-L4.ps1) - IDE / Defender protection — Cursor/Code and MsMpEng-class processes stay off the apply list (fixes Soft-trim miss after path gating)
- Tray toasts on Disk Lock / Mem Lock HARD
- Event log on Monitor — last actions from session /
events.jsonl - Portable update story +
Package-Portable.ps1 -Signscaffolding +SIGNING.txthonesty banner - Softer elevated Access Denied copy (expected for AV leftovers)
Unchanged
- SoftOnly default, Disk Lock, focus boost, Last-resort opt-in
- Sample intervals from v0.1.2 self-overhead work
