BitBroom 1.2.1 — every tool now explains itself

Changed

  • Tools page redesigned for discoverability. Instead of a strip of bare buttons, every
    tool is a card with a plain-language description of what it does, what you gain, and any
    caveat — plus an Admin badge on tools that need elevation. Tools are grouped
    (Storage & disks / Hibernation & power / Quick fixes) with the live output console
    docked alongside.

Fixed

  • The fstrim step of "Compact WSL / Docker disks" actually runs now. The distro name
    was passed quoted, which wsl.exe rejects (WSL_E_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND), so the trim
    silently fell back to "skipped" and compaction reclaimed less than it should.
  • wsl.exe output is decoded as UTF-16, so its messages render correctly in the console.

Verified

  • The full compaction flow was exercised on a real machine (Ubuntu + Docker Desktop):
    trims ran in both distros, all three .vhdx disks compacted, the distro booted
    normally afterwards and Docker Desktop relaunched.
  • All screenshots retaken, including the redesigned Tools page.
