Highlights
- Settings idle CPU fix — isolated Settings render tree unmounts the heavy main UI; CSS compositor layer explosion removed. Idle renderer CPU in Settings drops from ~8–11% to near-idle (~0–2%) on typical hardware.
- Always-on low-GPU UI — animation-heavy CSS effects are permanently disabled; no user toggle required.
- Bottom navigation restored — opaque bar with backdrop blur (matches pre-optimization styling).
- WebView2 tuning — removed
--num-raster-threads=1; dropped unusedsync_gpu_prefs/get_windows_os_infoIPC commands. - Overlay optimizations — heartbeat, health checks, and log flush paused while Settings or Logs are open; sidecar log buffering avoids unnecessary React re-renders.
- Source hygiene — inline code comments and developer-facing strings standardized to English; GPU diagnosis notes added to
CONTRIBUTING.md.
System requirements
- Windows 10 (1809+) or Windows 11, 64-bit
- ~80 MB resident RAM
- No external drivers (no Npcap / WinPcap / WinDivert)
- Administrator recommended (for system-proxy registry writes and optional Defender exclusion)
