🎵 Air Tune v2.0.1 — Performance & Resource Optimization

Critical maintenance patch addressing system resource usage and process management on Windows.

Performance & Fixes

• Single Persistent PowerShell Process: Fixed system lag and CPU spikes caused by repeated powershell.exe process creation.
• Non-Blocking stdio IPC: Replaced child_process.exec calls with a single long-running ChildProcess.spawn child process communicating over non-blocking stdin/stdout.
• Faster Command Latency: Commands (Play, Pause, Next, Prev, Seek) process instantly with <50ms response times.
• Clean Process Lifecycle: Ensured reliable background process cleanup on VS Code exit or extension deactivation.
