@Tlamir Tlamir released this 09 Oct 22:54

Clear workload presets, physical turbo-state synchronization, and per-user tray startup.

  • Office: adaptive firmware cooling + Windows Power Saver. Balanced: adaptive + Balanced. High: adaptive + High Performance. Turbo: cooling boost, preserving the power plan. These are workload presets, not calibrated fixed fan speeds or the OEM Office table.
  • Read-only observation follows the physical button, backs off after failed reads, and never overrides the button with periodic fan writes.
  • Install.ps1 installs into a versioned LocalAppData folder and enables current-user sign-in startup. It starts in the tray; Enable controls still needs administrator approval after login. No automatic privileged takeover is installed.
  • Single-instance handling, tray recovery after Explorer restarts, and helper-file replacement protection.

93 local release tests, strict linting and both PE audits passed. Actual read-only observer latency averaged about 0.51 seconds versus 1.16 seconds for full status in small samples. UI resource measurements and their limitations are in docs/BENCHMARKS.md. Startup registration and installed tray/duplicate-instance smoke tests passed; an actual reboot and physical display synchronization remain owner checks.

Minimum-noise, fixed-speed and custom fan curves remain unavailable: CPU/RPM calibration and autonomous firmware thermal override are unverified. This is an unsigned development prerelease for the reviewed MONSTER TULPAR T5 V17.1 / BIOS N.1.06 / i7-8750H / GTX1060, not a completed OEM replacement. Keep the original controller installed for recovery. Exit older Minimalist instances before opening this version.

Windows and Linux CI passed for source commit be42e77: https://github.com/Tlamir/MinimalistControlCenter/actions/runs/38001368114
