v1.2.0

Added

• Process termination (/kill, /killtree): Terminate individual processes or whole process trees directly from procmem, serving as a safer alternative to taskkill or Sysinternals pskill64 with built-in resource reclamation accounting and safety barriers.
  • /kill <name|PID>: Terminates the specified PID or matching processes without affecting child processes.
  • /killtree <name|PID>: Terminates matching roots plus all descendant processes top-down (root first, preventing supervisor/watchdog respawns).
  • Pre-calculated reclamation: Measures and displays exact physical RAM, commit charge, and CPU time freed upon termination.
  • Safety barrier: Terminating by process name strictly requires /f or /force. Omitting /f performs a non-destructive dry run, printing a full preview table of processes and memory before exiting with code 2. Numeric PID targeting does not require /f.
  • PID recycling safety: Validates kernel process creation timestamps (child.created >= parent.created), eliminating PID reuse hazards.
  • Safety guards: Rejects empty targets ("") and blocks wildcard-only patterns (*, **) in kill mode to prevent accidental system-wide termination.
  • Quick usage:
    • procmem /kill 1234 — kill single process by PID
    • procmem /killtree 1234 — kill process tree by root PID
    • procmem /kill /f notepad — kill matching processes by name
    • procmem /killtree /f msedge — kill browser tree by name
    • procmem --kill -ef notepad — kill exact name with flag bundling
    • procmem /killtree msedge — dry-run preview (without /f)
• POSIX flag terminator (--): Supports -- to stop flag parsing; all subsequent arguments are treated as positional targets.

Changed

• Column layout: Moved CPU Time, GPU Ded, and GPU Shr before Names so all fixed-width numeric metrics are grouped on the left, preventing wide process lists from pushing numbers off-screen.
• Kill dry-run preview: Includes numeric PIDs in the preview table when mixed with process name targets.

Fixed

• Empty string validation: Disallowed empty process name arguments (""), which previously matched every running process on the system.
• Flag termination with --: Fixed -- so it properly stops flag parsing per POSIX convention, allowing arguments starting with - or / after -- to be targeted as process names.

Removed

• Removed /ec: Dropped the deprecated /ec option completely, allowing -ec to correctly unpack as the short-flag bundle -e (exact name) and -c (CPU time).
