Loadbar 1.3.0

• Always show readout, enabled by default for new and migrated settings, places two-line
  numeric summaries beside every graphic. All logical-processor tiles and device meters remain.
• CPU total/P/E averages, RAM percentage/capacity, GPU 3D/memory/decode, drive active/read/write,
  and network download/upload use compact, color-matched Geist Mono text.
• Vertical readouts follow the edge's reading direction, with upright icons and temperatures.
  Constrained edges reflow through the existing readable-minimum placement policy.
• Disable the setting to restore the original graphics layout and saved hover behavior.
  Tooltips remain independently controlled. Changing readouts does not restart collection.
• Tighter spacing and aligned Geist Mono typography keep the readouts compact. README
  animations compare both modes with temperatures and square CPU tiles at the same scale.

Upgrade

Exit through Exit Loadbar or the tray/bar menu, replace Loadbar.exe, and launch it.
Settings migrate automatically; Always show readout starts enabled. Uncheck it in
Settings and select Apply to keep the graphics-only presentation.

Validation status

All four CTest suites pass in Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo and ASan. Formatting, clang-tidy
and MSVC analysis pass. Release imports and security flags were inspected; the ZIP contains
only the tested executable. See testing
and packaging.

An independent performance review found no actionable issue in caches, collection, handoff
or resource lifetime. A ten-minute observation of the final executable at the existing 250 ms
cadence, with readouts off, measured 12.51 ms/s CPU, 67.09 MiB median private bytes and
72.88 MiB median working set. CPU/private memory exceeded the provisional targets in that
configuration; resource counts were stable over the interval. Details and limits are in
performance.

The owner approved the implementation and requested publication after the remaining validation
gaps were disclosed. Controlled 1-Hz horizontal/vertical performance, GPU/DWM attribution,
the one-hour soak, the full interactive Windows matrix, hardware accuracy and clean-machine
standalone execution remain pending. Publication does not establish that these gates passed.
