BootCamp Performance Control 0.5.0-rc.2

This release candidate expands BCPC's capability-driven thermal-control architecture while keeping the fail-closed hardware safety model.

Highlights

  • Gaming Optimised uses the global Supported Intel Mac processor policy:
    • Maximum Processor State AC/DC: 95% / 95%
    • Processor Boost AC/DC: Disabled / Disabled
  • SupportedIntelMac is determined from detected Apple hardware + Intel CPU, not an exact Mac-model whitelist.
  • Fan-write eligibility is independent and selected from a fresh live AppleSMC capability fingerprint.
  • Production capability families:
    • PerFanModeFloat32
    • bounded GlobalMaskFpe2
  • Dynamic topology is discovered from live FNum.
  • Maximum Safe RPM is derived from fresh live F{i}Mx.
  • Pre-write transaction journaling, deterministic partial-write recovery and Apple Auto rollback/recovery are hardened.
  • The obsolete model-validation / tested-vs-untested UI classification has been removed.

Physical validation evidence

MacBookPro16,1 remains physically validated end-to-end for PerFanModeFloat32.

MacBookPro12,1 has physically qualified the one-fan GlobalMaskFpe2 write/readback/Apple Auto round trip.

Physical validation records are evidence for observed mechanisms. They are not runtime model whitelists.

Safety boundaries

  • Two-fan GlobalMaskFpe2 (FS! = 0003) still requires its own BCPC-owned physical qualification.
  • Unknown, malformed or mismatched capability fingerprints fail closed.
  • FNum = 0 remains a valid passive/fanless read-only topology.
  • BCPC does not expose arbitrary SMC writes, minimum-RPM control or a user-defined RPM slider.
  • Exact Mac model identity does not grant normal processor or fan-write permission.
  • The experimental native BootCampSmc write transport is not claimed as physically write-qualified and is not the production dependency.
  • The release ZIP does not bundle Macs Fan Control, applesmc.sys, BootCampSmc.sys, driver packages or other proprietary third-party binaries.

The currently validated compatibility environment uses a separately installed copy of Macs Fan Control 1.5.16 / AppleSMC driver 1.0.7.0.
