🛡️ PadFlow v1.2.2 — CLOAK ALL Fixed: Correct HidHide IOCTL Contract

What's new in this version / Novedades de la Versión 1.2.2:

  • 🛡️ CLOAK ALL finally works — the real root cause is fixed:
    • PadFlow was sending HidHide IOCTLs with device type FILE_DEVICE_UNKNOWN, but the HidHide driver only recognizes its custom device type 32769 (0x8001). Every control call was rejected with ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER (87) — the blacklist write never reached the driver, so cloaking never worked (elevated or not).
    • v1.2.2 mirrors the official Shared/HidHideIoctlContract.h from the Nefarius driver exactly: device type 0x8001, METHOD_BUFFERED, FILE_READ_DATA on all codes.
    • Blacklist / whitelist / active-state writes now reach the driver, which persists them to the registry from kernel mode — cloaking works without Administrator rights.
  • 🗯️ Honest diagnostics kept: real error codes and per-device reports from v1.2.1 remain.
  • ⚡ Everything from v1.2.0 / v1.2.1 kept: Shield Control Center, per-controller CLOAK/UNCLOAK, global shield switch, auto-cloak on connect, cloak on startup, tray controls, live 3 s status refresh, one-click signed auto-updates.
