v2.22.6

Orphan cleanup that actually runs

The previous release's orphan cleanup could never fire on real hybrid machines: elevation required no machine-wide entry, but the hybrid state always has one. Both the trigger and the installer logic now understand the hybrid state.

What changed

• Hybrid-aware elevation: The updater elevates when a machine-wide entry points outside Program Files (a physical impossibility for legitimate installs), not just when no entry exists.
• Ordered installer cleanup: Orphan directory, stale shortcut, and hybrid registry-key removal now happen in one ordered step after install, with the legitimacy check evaluated before any deletion — instead of two split checks that could never agree.
• Setup log proof: Every cleanup decision is written to setup.log, so silent installs leave evidence of what was removed or deliberately kept.

Bug Fixes

• Orphan survived elevation: Fixed the self-defeating guard where elevating for cleanup also disabled it.
