Updated October 24: specific development fixes have passed focused review, while later analysis identified further work in some of the same areas. Existing completion marks describe those scoped changes, not closure of all current findings or a released update. Remediation, verification on Windows and full release testing remain pending. AI-assisted reviews are internal testing, separate from an independent audit or penetration test.

• ✓Complete: Reliable fresh installationComplete. The installer now includes every required component and checks for anything missing before it is built. Verification on Windows is still required.
