v1.8.0

Added

• Multi-Target Process Unification (Steam & Game Pass WinGDK):
  • Added seamless simultaneous detection support for both Steam (SandFall-Win64-Shipping.exe) and PC Game Pass / Microsoft Store (SandFall-WinGDK-Shipping.exe) game editions.
  • Unified detection target configuration to target_process_names with dynamic process image resolution.
• Immutable Process Context (GameProcessInfo):
  • Encapsulated PID, executable name, and resolved binary paths within immutable GameProcessInfo and GameState domain structures.
  • Bound Discord Rich Presence directly to the detected executable PID for both Steam and WinGDK targets, guaranteeing accurate Discord activity association.
• Discord IPC Protocol Framing (DiscordFrameCodec):
  • Extracted binary length-prefix framing and JSON payload encoding into dedicated, unit-tested DiscordFrameCodec, eliminating nested wrapper abstractions.
• Structural Protocol Typing:
  • Introduced clean typing.Protocol definitions for ProcessLike, BridgeInstallerProtocol, and StartupProtocol.
• Precompiled Hash Lookup Acceleration:
  • Optimized checkpoint tag lookups using precompiled $O(1)$ dictionary lookups instead of repetitive regular expression scans.

Changed

• Ultra-Fast Test Suite Execution:
  • Accelerated full test suite runtimes to under 2.2 seconds by replacing wall-clock sleep loops with deterministic iterations, lowering test HTTP server polling intervals to 0.01s, and injecting virtual time_provider clocks into telemetry providers.
• Facade Encapsulation in AppOrchestrator:
  • Replaced ceremonial wrapper services with clean atomic facade methods (install_bridge_to, subscribe_update_available).
  • Added thread-safe state synchronization and re-entrant update subscription handling.

Fixed

• PyInstaller Bundled UI Smoke Test in CI:
  • Hardened GitHub Actions release workflow with automated headless smoke testing of PyInstaller executable binaries, ensuring correct bundling of Tkinter, PIL, pystray, and platform dependencies.
