What's new in v1.1 — "What is this?"

Ordinary users often have no idea what half the programs living in their
Temp/AppData folders actually are. Now the cleaner can tell you:

  • Right-click any row -> "What is this?" — for known programs your
    default browser opens the vendor's official page (offline knowledge
    base with 66 curated entries, every URL verified). For unknown ones —
    a Google search with just the program's name.
  • Privacy by design: only the program/vendor folder name goes into
    the search query — never the full path, never your username. The
    network is used only when you explicitly click.
  • The same menu also offers Copy path and Open folder.
  • One exe for both languages — the UI language (English / Lithuanian)
    now switches inside the app; first run follows your Windows language.
  • "?" help corner — About dialog and an in-app user guide, including
    "Ask the AI that wrote it" instructions.

Nothing else changed — scanning, preview, cleaning and all safety guards
(AGE / LOCKED / JUNCTION) are untouched and covered by the same test
suite (now 31 new unit tests + live GUI test on a synthetic tree).

Also new in the repository: docs/COMPARISON_TEST.md —
a reproducible live comparison protocol vs Storage Sense and CCleaner,
including the points where they win.

Idea credit: Robertas — born from watching real users squint at yellow
rows. Built, tested and documented by Claude.
