What's Changed in v6.2.9

🛡️ Security & Antivirus Interoperability

• Removed Programmatic Defender Exclusions: Removed the automated background PowerShell call configuring Windows Defender folder exclusions (Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath ...) inside ExternalToolsEngine.GetExtProgramDir(). Downloaded tools are responsible for maintaining their own reputation, eliminating aggressive behavioral actions and heuristic flags (such as Trojan.MSIL.RansomX.gen).
• Clean Tool Directory Resolution: ExternalToolsEngine.GetExtProgramDir() now cleanly resolves and creates the standard %LocalAppData%\HMT\ExtPrograms directory without attempting to alter system security policies.
