Two launcher behaviors vPOD only simulated are now available for real,
matching the pod exactly:
- "Actually set system volume": set_VolumeLevel drives this machine's
master volume through the launcher's own chain — nircmd.exe in the
games root, else Core Audio (Vista+), else winmm. The chain moved out
of TeslaLauncher.cs into Launcher/VolumeControl.cs and is compiled
into both apps as linked source (the MiniZip pattern); launcher
behavior is unchanged. Off by default: the value is stored/echoed
only, as before.
- pre-uninstall.bat now runs before the product directory is deleted on
UninstallApp (working dir, hidden window, 120 s wait, exit code
logged — mirrors CleanupProductDirectory). Gated behind the renamed
"Run package install/uninstall scripts" checkbox (was "Run
postinstall.bat after install"; RunPostInstall -> RunPackageScripts),
closing the asymmetry where install scripts had an opt-in but
uninstall scripts silently never ran.
Verified: 106/106 diff tests; live master-volume set/restore through
vPOD's build of VolumeControl; functional probe of UninstallApp against
an isolated games root with the flag off (script skipped, dir removed)
and on (script ran, then dir removed).

Merge TeslaLauncherService (Session 0) + TeslaLauncherAgent (tray) into one
userland TeslaLauncher.exe. The split existed only to work around Vista+
Session 0 isolation; running everything in the auto-logged-in admin session
needs no service, no named pipe, and no flat<->wire conversion layer. The
original Elsewhen software was likewise a single binary.
net40 is the newest framework XP SP3 can install, and net40 assemblies load
in-place on the 4.8 runtime in Win10/11 -- one exe covers both.
- Contract: multi-target net48;net40. The net40 leg of PodRpcProtocol uses
Newtonsoft.Json (STJ has no net40 target); JSON is shape-identical on the
wire, and the request reader keeps date strings raw so Ping echoes
byte-identically. Console keeps the untouched net48/STJ leg.
- MiniZip.cs: central-directory ZIP extractor (stored/deflate/ZIP64) since
net40 has no ZipFile; zip-slip guarded.
- SecureConfig: RSACryptoServiceProvider instead of RSA.Create (net46+),
no leaveOpen BinaryWriter/Reader, struct instead of ValueTuple, and no
SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault on the passcode thread (the merged app
already has a form). netsh "interface ip" syntax was already XP-correct.
- Volume: nircmd -> CoreAudio (Vista+) -> winmm waveOutSetVolume (XP).
- Paths: CommonApplicationData resolved per-OS (XP has no C:\ProgramData);
launcher log moved next to the key/config in the data dir.
- install.bat: dual-OS (cacls/icacls, netsh firewall/advfirewall, dism and
UAC/notification steps skipped on XP, .NET 4.0 redist check, XP DHCP reset
via netsh); no service registration -- HKLM Run key + auto-login on both;
RegisterApplicationRestart supplies crash-restart on Vista+.
- Bench switches: /skipconfig, /port:NNNN.
Verified: Console + diff suite (103 tests) still green on the net48 leg;
E2E smoke test drove the net40 launcher over real TCP with the Console's own
PodManagerConnection (STJ client vs Newtonsoft server) -- Ping echo, volume,
app registry, launch/kill/watch, InstallProduct zip transfer + extract, and
uninstall orphan cleanup: 17/17 pass.
