Taskbar Monitor Enhanced v1.7.7 — interrupted Setup recovery

Reliability fix

• The v1.7.6 Setup could leave an incomplete updater-owned .tbme-upgrade/old/<managed-file>.restore scratch if its own process was terminated mid-rollback. A later update attempt failed with IOException: file already exists.
• This build removes only known temporary .restore scratch files, after the journal owner marker and index have been validated; it then recreates them from the SHA-verified prior managed snapshots.
• Unknown, reparse-point, user-owned, or unrelated files are never erased. Existing rollback guards and preserved user settings remain intact.

Compatible upgrades

• Same per-user root; SHA-pinned official v1.7.6 predecessor is supported for transactional in-place upgrade. One versioned installer, no duplicate application root.
• Glass with true zero background alpha, red hot CPU/GPU/disk warnings, thresholds, chart readability, themes, and settings are retained.
• Optional signed external PawnIO sensor service remains separate. No new kernel driver is bundled.

Trust and qualification

• Setup is intentionally unsigned under the existing explicit release waiver. A valid hash/CI is not an independent malware certification.
• Reporter-specific WinRing0 driver attribution in Issue #6 remains open.
• Physical AC-interruption testing is out of the accepted scope and has not been performed.
• This release is a candidate only until exact-source build, native upgrade, regression, and public asset gates pass.
