SonKuPik K500 v1.1.6-rc.1 — Updater RC

Updater release candidate — not public stable.

SINGLE_PER_USER_RC_V1 — one native Per-User installer, no machine-wide/Smart installer and no Windows administrator prompt. Existing machine-wide installations require explicit migration outside this public setup.

This RC is pending independent hardware acceptance. Publish only a new immutable RC and record owner-tested SHA-256 in the versioned acceptance file before stable promotion.

Windows binaries are unsigned open-source builds. No UAC or Windows security bypass is used.
