Release notes
- Self-upgrade no longer drops an EXE into %TEMP%; handoff now runs from a short-lived PowerShell script under %LOCALAPPDATA%\wintui\self-update\ that waits for the parent to exit, runs winget, and self-deletes. Fewer AV false positives.
- Self-upgrade now requires an already elevated WinTUI session; non-admin sessions show Ctrl+A to relaunch as admin, with a manual administrator PowerShell command fallback when UAC relaunch is blocked. After the handoff finishes, WinTUI no longer reopens itself automatically.
- Atomic settings persistence: settings.json is now written via temp file + rename so a crash mid-save cannot leave a partial JSON file.
- Settings > Default Source detail text corrected: the setting affects searches and installs, not upgrade queries.
- Documentation: docs/elevation.md now correctly describes four elevation paths.
