v1.0.0 · Windows Installer Edition

codex-usage-hud v1.0.0 · Windows Installer Edition

Release body for GitHub Releases.

TL;DR

v1.0.0 is the first supported Windows installer release for
codex-usage-hud. It keeps the local-first renderer/Tk HUD behavior from the
v0.x preview line, adds version display and GitHub Release update checks, and
ships a Windows setup package named:

codex-usage-hud-v1.0.0-windows-x64-setup.exe

Headliners

Windows installer

• Adds an Inno Setup 6 installer that installs to
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\codex-usage-hud.
• Creates Start Menu shortcuts for starting the daemon, stopping the HUD, and
  checking updates.
• Offers an optional desktop shortcut and optional startup registration.
• Stops an existing HUD before replacing the executable during install/update.

Version display and auto update

• Adds codex-hud --version, codex-hud --check-update, and
  codex-hud --update.
• Adds a renderer HUD "版本更新" tab and a Tk fallback "版本更新" tab.
• Checks GitHub Releases, selects the Windows setup asset, downloads it, and
  launches the installer.

Homepage refresh

• Makes Chinese the default GitHub README and adds README_EN.md.
• Keeps an empty sponsors table with the sponsor contact link:
  512145547@qq.com.
• Keeps the community/support section as "敬请期待" and uses bundled Alipay /
  WeChat support QR assets.
• Adds v1.0.0 HUD screenshots and a pain-points section focused on token/cost
  transparency, waiting-state visibility, and custom day/week budgets.

Deprecated historical tags

v0.1.0, v0.2.0, and v0.3.0 remain available as historical alpha / preview
tags. New users should install v1.0.0 or newer from GitHub Releases.

Notes

• Windows is the only supported installer target in this release.

  prompt/response upload.
