Battery Monitor v1.2.0

This release restores broad component thermal monitoring on macOS 27 with a fully Swift-native telemetry pipeline.

Changes since v1.1.2

• Added Swift-native thermal collectors for AppleSMC, IOHID, IOReport, AppleSmartBattery, IOKit registry data, powermetrics, pmset, and ProcessInfo.
• Restored representative CPU, GPU, battery, memory, storage, and PMU temperatures in General Thermals.
• Added Thermals Advanced with all discovered readings grouped by source, including sensor identifiers, classification, source health, warnings, and diagnostics.
• Integrated detailed thermal capture into the privileged root helper and its cached telemetry contract.
• Added atomic cache replacement, bounded diagnostics, process-group cleanup, timeout handling, source provenance, and stricter value validation.
• Removed the standalone thermal probe and C shim after completing the native Swift integration.
• Updated release runner selection for current GitHub-hosted macOS images.
• Expanded thermal collector, aggregation, compatibility, helper, and display coverage to 132 tests.
