Both apps live in this one repo, side by side, sharing this README, the landing site, and release documentation. The Windows preview currently includes a native shell, tool pages, local telemetry/history, loopback HTTP/MCP surfaces, tests, CI, and unsigned local packaging. See the Windows architecture notes and release notes.

Windows preview

The checked-in Windows app currently includes:

• A native WinUI 3 / .NET 8 shell with Dashboard, History, Activity, Analyze, Clean, Purge, Installers, Apps, Optimize, and Settings routes.
• Local Windows telemetry sampling for Dashboard, History, tray status, HTTP, and MCP.
• Local JSONL-backed history/activity storage.
• Optimize preview/confirm flows through Mole where available; the Windows Clean route is present but still a guarded pending stub until Mole Windows exposes a stable non-interactive cleanup contract for the GUI.
• Native Windows fallback flows for Analyze, Purge, installer cleanup, and app inventory where the Windows Mole branch is still interactive or lacks JSON.
• A tray icon, live tooltip, tray HUD, status menu, and quick navigation.
• A loopback-only HTTP API (/health, /info, /snapshot, /metrics) and a stdio MCP bridge with the read-only Burrow tools.
• Unit tests, Windows CI, local smoke-test helpers, and an unsigned release script that produces a setup executable, portable ZIP, hashes, and WinGet manifests.
