Feature release — ported over the best ideas from comparing HackMate against RapidEFI-Tool, another OpenCore EFI builder.

Real PCI-SIG/USB-IF hardware database. HackMate now bundles the actual pci.ids/usb.ids databases instead of relying only on whatever the host OS reports — fixes GPU names showing up as generic "Device" placeholders on minimal Linux environments or driverless Windows installs.

Build history. Every successful build now saves a snapshot (hardware, macOS version, config.plist location) to a new "Build History" screen, so you can look back at a past build and reopen its config.plist instead of starting over.

Auto-disable unsupported Realtek WiFi. Realtek PCI WiFi cards have no macOS driver on any version. HackMate now detects this and generates an SSDT that disables the card outright (when it can identify it unambiguously in your DSDT) instead of just warning and leaving it enabled to potentially cause boot issues.

Bigger config editor. The Advanced tab in Edit Config now lets you toggle individual kexts and SSDTs on/off, and edit Serial/MLB/System UUID directly — on top of the existing boot-args, SIP, framebuffer, and audio-layout tools.

Multi-language UI. English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese, switchable from the welcome screen.

As always: nothing here touches how macOS itself is installed — this is still the same automate-the-Dortania-guide approach with the same underlying tools (macrecovery, SSDTTime, acidanthera kexts).
