Burrow 0.8.3

A metrics & menu-bar release: real memory-pressure reporting, a power-draw
widget, pressure-aware coloring everywhere, a live menu-bar preview, two new
runner animations, and a snappier popover. Still local-first.

Added

  • Power-draw widget. Live system wattage (W) as a menu-bar metric.
  • Real memory pressure. "By pressure" now reads actual macOS memory pressure
    (wired + compressed) / total via host_statistics64, the same figure
    Activity Monitor reports — instead of reusing the CPU-style utilization ramp.
    Shown as a percentage on the memory tiles, colored green ≤59% / orange 60–79% /
    red ≥80%. (#202)
  • Memory detail card. The Status dashboard breaks memory down into used /
    free / cached / swap.
  • Live menu-bar preview + layout presets. Settings previews your real
    metrics as you configure them, with one-tap layout presets.
  • Two new runner animations — Wave and Bars.

Changed

  • Consistent pressure coloring across the dashboard tile, popover,
    memory-detail card, and menu bar.
  • Live popover sparklines. CPU / memory / GPU tick every second (about a
    minute of history).
  • Honest color picker. "By pressure" is offered only where it applies
    (memory); the temperature color ramp was corrected.

Fixed

  • Brewfile import/export pickers no longer trip the hang detector (ANR
    false-positives).
  • App-Hang reports from memory-starved machines are dropped before sending —
    they were environmental, not Burrow bugs. (#197)

Performance

  • Snappier popover — the metric grid no longer re-renders on unrelated state
    changes.

Windows

  • Windows preview — a version-aligned 0.8.3 build is attached
    (BurrowWin-0.8.3-win-x64.zip). No Windows-specific changes this release.
