🛠️ Improvements & Bug Fixes in v1.0.1

1. SmartScreen & Untrusted Script Fixes: Added self-unblocking PowerShell commands at the start of all installer and uninstaller batch scripts (install.bat, uninstall.bat, debug.bat). When run, the scripts automatically strip NTFS download Zone.Identifier metadata from themselves and adjacent DLLs/EXEs, preventing Windows from displaying security warnings or blocking execution.
2. Clean Package Compression: Automated build cleanup switches to exclude compiler PDB files and temporary archives from user releases.
