🚀 DevOps Tools Installer v2.1.0

Welcome to the v2.1.0 milestone release of DevOps Tools Installer!
This major release transforms DevOps Tools Installer with a completely redesigned WinUI 3 Gallery aesthetic featuring Mica Alt translucent materials, doubles the catalog from 47 to 90 curated tools across 10 categories (including 3 brand-new categories), introduces Curated Stacks for one-click workstation provisioning and live stack filtering, adds 100% official vector SVG branding, integrates an in-app GitHub auto-updater service, embeds global sidebar search, and establishes comprehensive Security Disclosures and Behavioral Precautions.

✨ Major Features & What's New

🎨 WinUI 3 Gallery Redesign & Translucent Mica Alt Backdrop

  • Mica Alt Window Material: Modernized the application canvas with Windows 11 translucent Mica Alt backdrop styling and custom titlebar bleed-through.
  • Segoe Fluent Icons: Replaced emojis across all pages, navigation items, and stack cards with clean, native Segoe Fluent Icons (\uE...) for a crisp, enterprise-grade feel.
  • Polished Card & Chip Styling: Refined category filter chips, badge containers, and hover states with smooth micro-animations.

📦 Catalog Expanded to 90 Tools with 3 Brand-New Categories

  • Expanded Coverage: The catalog has nearly doubled from 47 to 90 essential DevOps, cloud, and engineering tools.
  • Three New Categories:
    • 🌐 Networking & Tunneling: ngrok, cloudflared, tailscale, wireshark, nmap, ctop, k9s, etc.
    • 🛡️ Policy, Governance & Compliance: trivy, checkov, tfsec, syft, grype, cosign, opa, etc.
    • 🗄️ Database & Data DevOps: flyway, liquibase, pgcli, mycli, usql, redis-cli, etc.
  • Updated & Verified Endpoints: All tool download URLs, checksums, and version manifests refreshed and validated.

🖼️ 100% Official Vector SVG Logos

  • Added high-fidelity, scalable official vector SVG logos for all 90 cataloged tools in Assets/logos/.
  • Crisp rendering across all DPI scaling levels and display resolutions (AWS CLI, Azure CLI, Google Cloud SDK, Terraform, Podman, Trivy, Prometheus, Grafana, Ansible, Git, Docker, and more).

🚀 Curated Stacks & Workstation Presets

  • Dedicated Full-Page Stacks Navigation: Replaced popup dialogs with a dedicated Curated Stacks view (StacksPage) accessible directly from the sidebar.
  • 12 Role-Based Presets: Ready-to-use bundles including Kubernetes Platform Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure Architect, GitOps Specialist, SecOps & Compliance Auditor, Full-Stack DevOps, Linux SysAdmin, Observability Specialist, and more.
  • Dual-Action Workflow:
    • Install Stack: Queue and batch-install all tools in a bundle with a single click.
    • Select Stack: Live-filter the Catalog to only show tools matching the chosen stack, accompanied by an interactive active stack banner and quick-clear action.
  • Per-Tool Status Indicators: Visual checkmarks and live indicators directly on tool chips within each stack card.

🔍 Global Sidebar Search (AutoSuggestBox)

  • Integrated an AutoSuggestBox directly into the left navigation pane.
  • Allows instant searching from anywhere in the application with automatic navigation and live query forwarding into the Catalog view.

🔄 In-App GitHub Auto-Updater Service

  • Interactive Update Dialog: Displays release notes, asset sizes, and a real-time progress bar during download.
  • Safe Staging & Restart: Downloads the latest release, verifies checksums, safely stages the new executable, and restarts seamlessly.

🛡️ Security Disclosures, Behavioral Precautions & Disclaimers

  • Transparent Behavioral Disclosures: Added dedicated disclosures detailing:
    • UAC privilege escalation requirements for vendor .exe/.msi installers.
    • User and System PATH modifications with idempotency guarantees.
    • Isolated tool sandbox storage in %LOCALAPPDATA%\DevOpsToolsInstaller\.
    • Cryptographic Authenticode signature and SHA-256 hash validation before execution.

  • Home Page Quick Access: Dedicated security card on the Home page deep-linking directly into About page disclosures.

⚡ Portable Single-File Compression
