v1.2.0 - The Fortified Release 🛡️

This release marks a significant milestone in WinHome's maturity, introducing a powerful new Plugin Architecture alongside enterprise-grade security and reliability enhancements.

✨ Highlights

  • Security First: Major hardening against common attack vectors and administrative pitfalls, including IPC sandboxing and Context Guards.
  • Extensibility: A new process-based plugin system that supports Python, Node.js (Bun), and native binaries.
  • Reliability: "Write-Through" state management ensures your progress is never lost, even if the process crashes.

🚀 New Features

  • VS Code Integration: A built-in plugin to manage VS Code profiles, extensions, and settings declaratively.
  • Plugin Architecture: Extend WinHome with your own scripts in ~/.winhome/plugins. Plugins run in a sandboxed environment with strict resource limits.
  • Write-Through State: System state is now persisted to disk immediately after every successful action, eliminating "zombie state" inconsistencies.
  • Lazy Plugin Discovery: The CLI is cleaner and faster, only initializing plugins that are explicitly used in your configuration.

🛡️ Security Fixes

  • IPC Memory Limits: Implemented strict 10MB memory limits and 30-second timeouts for all plugins to prevent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
  • Zombie State Fix: Fixed a critical issue where terminating the process (Ctrl+C) would leave the state file out of sync with the actual system.
  • Admin Context Guard: Added RegistryGuard to prevent accidental modification of the Administrator's HKCU hive when running as SYSTEM.
