PriorityGear v0.2.1 - System Mode status update
PriorityGear v0.2.1 - System Mode status update
This is a small update after v0.2.0-preview.1. It is not a stable v0.2.0 release.
Summary
- Uses the automated release workflow for plain semantic version tags.
- Improves operator-facing System Mode status visibility for already-supported service status data.
- Keeps the application icon wired into the WPF app and verification setup artifacts.
- Keeps the v0.2 System Mode safety boundary unchanged.
Included
- System Mode status display includes service identity, service binary/version path,
SeDebugPrivilege, machine-rule monitor summary, and service-process discovery truncation metadata. - Release packaging continues to include the verification setup and payload executables.
- App icon configuration remains part of the WPF app executable and tray resource path.
Safety boundary
PriorityGear System Mode is privileged software and installs a LocalSystem Windows Service during verification. It is provided AS IS and must be used at the user's own risk.
This release does not expand unsafe service mutation support. Arbitrary shared-host svchost.exe priority mutation remains out of scope. Shared-host behavior remains guarded by service-name rules, administrator approval, and dry-run/reject safety.
The verification setup is not a production installer.
Out of scope
- Stable
v0.2.0release. - Production installer, MSI/MSIX, Store, winget, signing, or updater.
- GUI machine-rule editing.
- Arbitrary shared-host
svchost.exemutation. - CPU affinity, I/O priority, EcoQoS, Realtime priority UI, drivers, telemetry, network features, or System Mode active-window switching.
Validation
Expected validation for this release:
dotnet restore PriorityGear.slnx
dotnet build PriorityGear.slnx --configuration Release --no-restore
dotnet test PriorityGear.slnx --configuration Release --no-build
