Optimal v1.0.2

Optimal 1.0.2

This is the final first-run and lifecycle repair release.

Fixed

• Restored the fully branded Optimal installer.
• Fixed installed builds starting without opening the main window.
• Made application shutdown explicit when the main Optimal window closes.
• Cancels active background sampling when the application closes.
• Forces onboarding after the installer launches Optimal for the first time.
• Improved installer terms readability, spacing, contrast, and acceptance controls.

Safety

Installation does not apply tweaks, remove applications, or run maintenance. Optimal only prepares changes after the user reviews and confirms them in the application.

Safety

Before installing

The binaries are not currently code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may display a warning. Download only from this GitHub Release and verify the matching SHA-256 checksum.
