Installer: dynamic light/dark Win11 style, new brand wizard images, auto
language, exclusive run mode (tray / Windows service) plus autostart and
auto-update on the Tasks page (pre-selected from what is installed on
upgrades, untouched by silent updates), 5 localized Start Menu entries.
Tray: theme-aware rounded menu with live status, icons and status-dot tray
icon; health polled off the UI thread; Settings submenu toggles autostart
and daily updates; browser opened de-elevated via explorer.
Fixes:
- tray Stop/Start was ignored in service mode (service_run restarted the
children) - all start/stop now goes through runtime_ctl.ps1
- logon tray task and SYSTEM service task were killed after 72h (default
ExecutionTimeLimit); autostart was registered for the elevating account
and opened a browser on every logon
- uninstall left the NetXTray/NetXUpdate tasks behind
- silent auto-update killed the tray without restarting it
- repair_venv.ps1 was never staged into the release
- wildcard NETX_HOST (0.0.0.0) broke health checks
- ICO frames were PNG, which System.Drawing decodes as noise; icons now
use the current brand mark
