UX Polish & Silent-Failure Fixes

v3.9.0

Released July 7, 2026

No fan/thermal/EC control behavior changes — this release polishes day-to-day UX and fixes silent breakage. Fixes a completely non-functional OMEN key action setting (all four options), low-contrast tray icon text, game profiles lost on crash, and several previously-silent EC/crash failure paths. Also fixes GPU power boost not syncing on profile switch, and adds new HP Victus/OMEN model support.

Critical Hang Fix

v3.8.2

Released June 28, 2026

Release-blocker fix for a critical regression introduced in v3.8.1: OmenCore hung and was force-closed by Windows within 10-20 seconds of launch on affected hardware. Rewrote the named-pipe HardwareWorker client to serialize requests and recover from timed-out reads. v3.8.1 is withdrawn as a recommended download.
