Subject: [PATCH 01/12] feat: clearer navigation, process page and rules editor

- Navigation pane open with short labels instead of seven bare icons.
- Processes: one toolbar row (search with placeholder, Filters and
  Columns menus, sort, refresh); details split into Process, Priority,
  CPU cores and Rule cards; pickers start from the process's current
  values and stay empty when a value cannot be read; help paragraphs
  moved into tooltips; core picker always visible.
- Rules: process rules first, clearer tab names, localized choices in the
  saved-rule editor instead of internal enum names.
- Shorter page titles and subtitles in all seven languages; removed the
  strings this made unused.

No data format changes.

+# Redesign UX — chiarezza (ottobre 2026)
+
+Branch `feat/ux-clarity`, impilato su #69 (EcoQoS). Nessuna modifica al formato dei dati: regole, impostazioni e backup restano compatibili.
+
+## Problemi osservati (screenshot dell'app 1.7.6)
+
+- Menu laterale solo a icone: sette icone senza etichetta.
+- Processi: casella di ricerca senza testo guida, nove controlli sparsi nella barra, pannello dettagli come un'unica colonna di etichette e paragrafi, selettori che non mostrano il valore attuale del processo.
+- Regole: tre schede e la prima aperta è la meno usata (associazioni dei piani energetici); nell'editor le scelte compaiono come nomi interni (`BelowNormal`, `SystemManaged`).
+- Sottotitoli lunghi su quasi tutte le pagine.
+
+## Regole di stile
+
+1. Titolo della pagina e al massimo una riga breve; le spiegazioni vanno nei tooltip.
+2. Una sezione = un riquadro con un titolo breve.
+3. Un solo pulsante principale (accent) per riquadro.
+4. I selettori mostrano lo stato attuale; "Applica" agisce solo sul valore cambiato.
+5. Etichette leggibili per le persone, mai nomi interni di enum.
+
+## Interventi
+

Subject: [PATCH 02/12] feat: settings and tweaks as Windows 11 rows, localized
 rule list

- Settings: one column of rows (what it is on the left, its switch on the
  right), most used sections first, Save as the primary action.
- Tweaks: one tweak per row with its status dot and switch.
- Rule list: 'Applies' and 'Mode' columns use the same localized labels as
  the editor and refresh on language change.
- Removed 76 strings no code referenced, from all seven languages.

Subject: [PATCH 03/12] fix: issues found testing the beta in a clean Windows
 11 VM

- Process counter could show more visible processes than the total
  ('157 / 151'): the batch total was a snapshot from the first load.
- Narrow windows (or 150% scaling): toolbar buttons move under the search
  box instead of squeezing it to a few letters.
- Rules list keeps the 'Applies' column readable when narrow.
- Settings status message gets its own line instead of being cut.

Tested in a Hyper-V Windows 11 VM: clean install, upgrade, uninstall,
light and dark theme, 100% and 150% scaling.

Subject: [PATCH 04/12] feat: remember layout choices; Windows 11 toggles in
 Tweaks

- The navigation pane, window size/position/maximized state, and the
  process list filters, sort and columns now survive a restart. They live
  in ui-state.json, apart from settings.json, so they never mark the
  Settings page as unsaved or travel in exported configurations. A corrupt
  file falls back to defaults; tests write to a temp file.
- Fixes the pane re-opening on every start (it was hard-coded open).
- Tweaks use a native-looking Windows 11 switch (40x20 track, sliding
  thumb) with On/Off written beside it.
- New test: every on/off setting survives save and reload.

+Piani di riferimento: `docs/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` (affidabilità regole/UX) e `docs/UX_REDESIGN_PLAN.md` (redesign). Cancellare questo file quando non serve più.
+
+## Stato
+
+- **Quattro PR aperte, impilate e non mergiate.** Vanno unite in quest'ordine, ognuna sopra la precedente:
+  1. #67 `fix/backup-rule-precedence` → `main`: il backup include le regole persistenti; ordine di applicazione delle regole deterministico, con avviso dei conflitti.
+  2. #68 `codex/ux-rules-reliability` → #67: editor di processi e regole, annulla ultima priorità, automazione in pausa senza overlay.
+  3. #69 `feat/ecoqos-efficiency-mode` → #68: modalità efficienza (EcoQoS) per i processi e nelle regole (issue #66), con tre stati: decide Windows / attiva / disattivata.
+  4. #70 `feat/ux-clarity` → #69: redesign completo:
+     - menu con etichette, pagina Processi a schede, Regole, Impostazioni e Ottimizzazioni in stile Windows 11, interruttori nativi;
+     - layout ricordato in `ui-state.json`: barra laterale, finestra, filtri, colonne;
+     - correzioni trovate in VM: contatore processi, barra stretta, scala 150%.
+- **Pre-release pubblica [v1.7.7-beta.1](https://github.com/PrimeBuild-pc/ThreadPilot/releases/tag/v1.7.7-beta.1)**: commit `20abf70`, installer e SHA256. La "latest" resta v1.7.6, quindi l'aggiornamento automatico non la propone. Non contiene l'ultimo commit di #70 (`1544587`: persistenza layout e interruttori); per EcoQoS non cambia nulla.
+- **In attesa**: risposta di chi ha aperto la #66 (SA-Mousavichashmi) con il test su CPU ibrida con E-core; gli è stato chiesto anche modello CPU e build di Windows.
+- Test: 791 passano. Build Debug e Release pulite.
+
+## Prossimi passi
+
+1. **Se la #66 conferma che funziona:**
+   - merge #67 → #68 → #69 → #70, in ordine; dopo ogni merge ribasare la PR successiva su `main`;
+   - release 1.7.7: versione in `ThreadPilot.csproj` (oggi 1.7.6), CHANGELOG, `build/build-installer.ps1 -Version 1.7.7`.
+2. **Se non funziona:** correggere su `feat/ecoqos-efficiency-mode` e propagare con un merge verso `feat/ux-clarity`.
+3. Facoltativi:
+   - salvare anche la scheda aperta in Regole e i filtri di Attività;
+   - la lista processi ordinata per CPU si riordina sotto il cursore (problema che c'era già prima; oggi lo evita solo "Blocca l'elenco");
+   - le opzioni dell'editor di regole e l'elenco regole sono localizzati, ma i messaggi di errore di `ProcessOperationUserMessages` sono ancora solo in inglese;
+   - provare la persistenza della finestra con più monitor.
+
+## Promemoria di lavoro
+
+- **Fine riga misti nel repo:** le `.cs` sono quasi tutte CRLF, le XAML e `Locales/*.xaml` LF, alcuni file misti. `sed -i` di Git Bash e la riscrittura completa dei file cambiano i fine riga: prima di ogni commit confrontare `git diff --numstat` con `--ignore-cr-at-eol`, e per i file misti reinserire le modifiche sul contenuto di HEAD.
+- **Traduzioni:** sette lingue in `Locales/*.xaml`, tutte con le stesse chiavi. Le chiavi mancanti nella XAML compaiono vuote nell'interfaccia.
+- **Test UI:** le view hanno test di "contratto" XAML (`*XamlBindingTests`, `SettingsViewModelThemeTests`, `SystemTweaksStartupAndStyleTests`), da aggiornare quando cambia il layout. I test scrivono `ui-state.json` in una cartella temporanea (`TestUiStateIsolation`).
+- **VM per test grafici:** `NeuroTune-W11`, procedura nella memoria `vm-gui-testing`. Fare sempre il checkpoint prima e il ripristino dopo; risoluzione 1080p e autologon solo durante il test.
+- **Shell elevata:** si può avviare l'app (`requireAdministrator`) e fare screenshot con PrintWindow e clic dalle UIAutomation bounds.
+- **Git e GitHub:** account `PrimeBuild-pc`. Niente attribuzioni a Claude in commit e PR.

Subject: [PATCH 06/12] fix: P/E cores from the highest EfficiencyClass, AMD
 CCDs from real L3 groups

The legacy topology treated the lowest EfficiencyClass as the performance
core, swapping P- and E-cores on hybrid Intel CPUs. AMD CCDs were guessed
as 8 cores each, which split 6+6 parts (7900X3D, 9900X3D) into 8+4; they now
come from the L3 groups Windows reports, with the guess kept only as a
fallback. The topology snapshot also keeps each L3 group's size.

Subject: [PATCH 07/12] feat: Game Boost, CPU Sets for the game and selected
 background apps

While a detected game runs, Game Boost sets process default CPU Sets from
the CPU topology: on AMD X3D with one larger L3 the game goes to the V-Cache
CCD, on Intel hybrid CPUs to the P-cores, and selected background apps
(browsers, sync clients, updaters, launchers) to the other cores. On dual-CCD
parts with equal L3 only the background moves, unless Isolation mode also
keeps the game on CCD0. Single-L3 and unreadable topologies are left to
Windows. Above Normal priority for the game is optional; never High.

Each change is written to a journal before it is made and undone when the
game exits, Game Boost is turned off or ThreadPilot closes, and on the next
start after a crash. Only values still exactly as Game Boost set them are
restored, never one a user rule or a manual change has taken over since.
Persistent rules and Game Boost share one apply gate, and a rule always
wins over Game Boost for the setting it covers.

The switch, mode and lists are on the Tweaks page, off by default, and take
effect without a restart.

Subject: [PATCH 08/12] fix: Game Boost background entries with a full path
 never matched

The background list compared full-path entries against an empty path, so
only bare process names worked. Found by a new integration test that runs
the real services on two copies of PING.EXE: CPU Sets and priority are set
and read back through Windows, removed when Game Boost is turned off, and
undone from the journal after a simulated crash. The topology is simulated
from this machine's CPU Set IDs, so the test also runs on CPUs where Game
Boost would not act; it skips itself below 8 cores.

+# ThreadPilot v1.7.7-beta.2 — Game Boost & efficiency mode
+
+**Pre-release for testing, not a stable release.** This build includes all changes since v1.7.6, including the latest local Game Boost work. v1.7.6 remains the stable/latest release; this beta is not distributed through winget, Chocolatey or stable automatic updates.
+
+## What's included
+
+- **Game Boost (opt-in):** topology-aware CPU Sets for the game and explicitly listed background apps, optional Above Normal priority, persistent-rule precedence, restoration when the game exits or Game Boost is disabled, and crash-recovery journaling. Activity now shows session start/end, what was applied or left unchanged, and restore results.
+- **CPU topology fixes:** Intel P/E cores use the highest Windows EfficiencyClass for P-cores; AMD CCD groups come from real L3 groups and sizes, including 6+6 layouts.
+- **Efficiency mode / EcoQoS:** Windows decides / On / Off, independently of CPU priority, for live processes and saved rules. A warning explains the global Power Throttling override.
+- **Rules and backup reliability:** persistent rules are included in configuration backups; imports are validated and rolled back on failure; overlapping rules have deterministic precedence and conflict reporting.
+- **UI refresh:** labelled navigation, clearer Process and Rules editors, priority undo, Windows 11-style Settings/Tweaks, remembered layout and filters, scaling fixes, and seven-language localization.
+
+## Validation status — hardware testers needed
+
+**Game Boost is not yet validated on real dual-CCD Ryzen / dual-CCD X3D or Intel hybrid hardware, and comparative gaming benchmarks are still pending. No FPS improvement is claimed.**
+
+The previous QA covered a single-CCD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and a clean Windows 11 VM: UI/settings, session detection, optional priority, respecting manual changes and rules, and crash recovery. Real Windows CPU Set apply/read/restore calls were tested with a simulated dual-L3 topology; that is not a substitute for real multi-CCD hardware. Anti-cheat/protected-game behavior still needs real-game testing.
+
+EcoQoS itself (not Game Boost) was independently verified by @SA-Mousavichashmi on an Intel i5-12500H, Windows 11 build 26300.9711: On/Off/system-managed, persistent rules, independent CPU priority and protected-process failures.
+
+We especially need reports from:
+
+- **AMD dual-CCD X3D:** 7900X3D / 7950X3D / 9900X3D / 9950X3D. Verify that the game uses the V-Cache CCD and listed background apps use the other CCD; check for interaction with AMD chipset-driver core parking.
+- **AMD equal-CCD CPUs:** e.g. 7950X / 9950X. Automatic should leave the game's placement to Windows and move only listed background apps; Isolation also places the game on CCD0.
+- **Intel hybrid CPUs:** 12th–14th gen / Core Ultra, where supported. Verify game on P-cores and listed background apps on E-cores, especially in heavily multithreaded games.
+
+Game Boost conservatively leaves CPU Sets unchanged on unsupported/single-CCD CPUs, incomplete topology, or fewer than six physical cores on the game side. A laptop with fewer than six P-cores can therefore correctly report that Windows decides. Optional priority is separate.
+
+## Quick test procedure
+
+1. Export a configuration backup. Record your CPU, Windows build (`winver`), chipset-driver version, and for AMD whether the `amd3dvcache` service is installed. Keep power plan, game settings and background load consistent.
+2. In **Tweaks / Ottimizzazioni → Game Boost**, leave **Above Normal off**, choose **Automatic**, add your game manually if it is outside a recognized library, and check the background-app list. Enable Game Boost, then bring the game to the foreground.
+3. Read the topology decision on the Game Boost card and session events in **Activity**. Inspect actual process **CPU Sets** in ThreadPilot, System Informer or Process Lasso; Task Manager's classic affinity mask does not show soft CPU Sets. On dual-CCD X3D, expect 16 game logical CPUs for an 8-core V-Cache CCD or 12 for a 6-core CCD when SMT is enabled. On Intel, compare the game selection with the P-core thread count.
+4. Alt+Tab: the session should remain active. Close the game or disable Game Boost: only changes owned by Game Boost should be restored. Existing rules and later manual changes should be respected. On equal-CCD AMD systems, repeat with **Isolation** and compare. Do not disable anti-cheat or bypass protected-process restrictions.
+5. For performance, use CapFrameX or PresentMon with the same scene and **at least three runs per scenario**: (a) Game Boost off; (b) on, no background load; (c) on with browser video / Steam download; (d) same as (c), with Above Normal on. Compare average FPS, 1% lows, P95/P99 frame times and run-to-run variance.
+
+## Send us your results
+
+Open an [issue](https://github.com/PrimeBuild-pc/ThreadPilot/issues) titled **[1.7.7-beta.2][Game Boost] CPU model — result/problem**. Successful tests are useful too. Include:
+
+- Exact ThreadPilot version, CPU, SMT on/off, Windows build, chipset driver, active power plan, and AMD `amd3dvcache` service status.
+- Game name/version, Game Boost mode, Above Normal setting, background apps/load, and any relevant saved rules or pre-existing CPU Sets.
+- Expected versus actual result, reproduction steps, whether disabling Game Boost restores normal behavior, and any stutter, crash, anti-cheat refusal or regression.
+- Screenshot of the Game Boost topology decision and actual game/background CPU Sets, plus relevant **Activity** entries/export. Attach CapFrameX/PresentMon captures or a small comparison table if available.
+
+Redact usernames, personal executable paths and unrelated log entries before uploading.
+
+## Known limits & safety
+
+- Above Normal only raises a game that starts at Normal; a game at another priority is left unchanged.
+- Manual selection of exactly the CPU Sets that Game Boost already applied cannot be distinguished from its own selection and may be cleared at session end unless saved in a rule.
+- Detection requires a recognized library plus foreground activity, or a manually listed game. Add Battle.net/other custom-install games explicitly when needed.
+- Applications can override their own QoS or CPU Sets. Protected processes can refuse access; ThreadPilot does not bypass protection.
+- Artifacts are **unsigned** while code-signing enrollment is pending; Windows SmartScreen may warn. Verify SHA256 before running. Upgrading preserves settings; uninstalling removes ThreadPilot-owned user data.

-## Stato
-
-- **Quattro PR aperte, impilate e non mergiate.** Vanno unite in quest'ordine, ognuna sopra la precedente:
-  1. #67 `fix/backup-rule-precedence` → `main`: il backup include le regole persistenti; ordine di applicazione delle regole deterministico, con avviso dei conflitti.
-  2. #68 `codex/ux-rules-reliability` → #67: editor di processi e regole, annulla ultima priorità, automazione in pausa senza overlay.
-  3. #69 `feat/ecoqos-efficiency-mode` → #68: modalità efficienza (EcoQoS) per i processi e nelle regole (issue #66), con tre stati: decide Windows / attiva / disattivata.
-  4. #70 `feat/ux-clarity` → #69: redesign completo:
-     - menu con etichette, pagina Processi a schede, Regole, Impostazioni e Ottimizzazioni in stile Windows 11, interruttori nativi;
-     - layout ricordato in `ui-state.json`: barra laterale, finestra, filtri, colonne;
-     - correzioni trovate in VM: contatore processi, barra stretta, scala 150%.
-- **Pre-release pubblica [v1.7.7-beta.1](https://github.com/PrimeBuild-pc/ThreadPilot/releases/tag/v1.7.7-beta.1)**: commit `20abf70`, installer e SHA256. La "latest" resta v1.7.6, quindi l'aggiornamento automatico non la propone. Non contiene l'ultimo commit di #70 (`1544587`: persistenza layout e interruttori); per EcoQoS non cambia nulla.
-- **In attesa**: risposta di chi ha aperto la #66 (SA-Mousavichashmi) con il test su CPU ibrida con E-core; gli è stato chiesto anche modello CPU e build di Windows.
-- Test: 791 passano. Build Debug e Release pulite.
-
-## Prossimi passi
-
-1. **Se la #66 conferma che funziona:**
-   - merge #67 → #68 → #69 → #70, in ordine; dopo ogni merge ribasare la PR successiva su `main`;
-   - release 1.7.7: versione in `ThreadPilot.csproj` (oggi 1.7.6), CHANGELOG, `build/build-installer.ps1 -Version 1.7.7`.
-2. **Se non funziona:** correggere su `feat/ecoqos-efficiency-mode` e propagare con un merge verso `feat/ux-clarity`.
-3. Facoltativi:
-   - salvare anche la scheda aperta in Regole e i filtri di Attività;
-   - la lista processi ordinata per CPU si riordina sotto il cursore (problema che c'era già prima; oggi lo evita solo "Blocca l'elenco");
-   - le opzioni dell'editor di regole e l'elenco regole sono localizzati, ma i messaggi di errore di `ProcessOperationUserMessages` sono ancora solo in inglese;
-   - provare la persistenza della finestra con più monitor.
-
-## Promemoria di lavoro
-
-- **Fine riga misti nel repo:** le `.cs` sono quasi tutte CRLF, le XAML e `Locales/*.xaml` LF, alcuni file misti. `sed -i` di Git Bash e la riscrittura completa dei file cambiano i fine riga: prima di ogni commit confrontare `git diff --numstat` con `--ignore-cr-at-eol`, e per i file misti reinserire le modifiche sul contenuto di HEAD.
-- **Traduzioni:** sette lingue in `Locales/*.xaml`, tutte con le stesse chiavi. Le chiavi mancanti nella XAML compaiono vuote nell'interfaccia.
-- **Test UI:** le view hanno test di "contratto" XAML (`*XamlBindingTests`, `SettingsViewModelThemeTests`, `SystemTweaksStartupAndStyleTests`), da aggiornare quando cambia il layout. I test scrivono `ui-state.json` in una cartella temporanea (`TestUiStateIsolation`).
-- **VM per test grafici:** `NeuroTune-W11`, procedura nella memoria `vm-gui-testing`. Fare sempre il checkpoint prima e il ripristino dopo; risoluzione 1080p e autologon solo durante il test.
-- **Shell elevata:** si può avviare l'app (`requireAdministrator`) e fare screenshot con PrintWindow e clic dalle UIAutomation bounds.
-- **Git e GitHub:** account `PrimeBuild-pc`. Niente attribuzioni a Claude in commit e PR.
+# Handoff ThreadPilot — 2026-10-16
+
+## Versione e ambito
+
+La versione preparata è **v1.7.7-beta.2**, esclusivamente pre-release. Include la pila #67–#70, le correzioni della topologia CPU e Game Boost (#71), comprese le modifiche locali del 15 ottobre alla diagnostica Attività. La conferma hardware EcoQoS di SA-Mousavichashmi è nella #66; non equivale alla validazione di Game Boost.

+Fonte pubblica per funzionalità, limiti, test richiesti e dati da allegare alle issue: `docs/releases/v1.7.7-beta.2.md`. Queste note vengono usate dal workflow Release. v1.7.6 deve restare stable/latest; la beta non va pubblicata su winget o Chocolatey. I binari sono ancora unsigned.
+
+## Validazione hardware ancora necessaria
+
+- Game Boost su Ryzen dual-CCD X3D (7900X3D/7950X3D/9900X3D/9950X3D), incluso il parcheggio dei core del driver AMD.
+- AMD a CCD uguali (7950X/9950X): confronto Automatico/Isolamento.
+- Intel ibrida: P-core al gioco, E-core al background sulle topologie supportate; ripiego conservativo se il lato gioco ha meno di sei core fisici.
+- Benchmark ripetibili con/senza background e Above Normal, almeno tre passaggi per scenario; FPS medi, 1% low, P95/P99 dei frame time.
+- Giochi protetti/anti-cheat reali, stuttering, crash e regressioni.
+
+QA precedente: Ryzen 7 5800X3D single-CCD e VM Windows 11 pulita; impostazioni, sessioni, priorità, rispetto delle modifiche manuali/regole e recupero dopo crash. Il test nativo CPU Sets usa vere chiamate Windows ma topologia dual-L3 simulata: non dimostra il comportamento su vero hardware multi-CCD. I test nativi Game Boost non esercitano lo split sui piccoli runner CI.

+## Verifiche e pubblicazione
+
+- Test Release locali dopo la preparazione beta: 851 passati; audit dipendenze senza vulnerabilità segnalate.
+- Per stato effettivo di merge/release/CI consultare GitHub, non dedurlo dalla presenza di questo file: `gh pr list`, `gh run list`, `gh release view v1.7.7-beta.2`.
+- Prima del tag verificare CI della combinazione finale e corrispondenza del codice con tutte le modifiche locali. Il tag deve puntare al commit integrato in main.
+- Dopo il tag verificare artifact installer/portable/SHA256, smoke test, flag prerelease=true e `/releases/latest` ancora su v1.7.6.
+- Pulire solo i branch della pila e Game Boost dopo l'integrazione; lasciare intatti worktree e branch di altri lavori.
+
+## Convenzioni
+
+- Fine riga misti: prima del commit confrontare `git diff --numstat` e `git diff --ignore-cr-at-eol --numstat`.
+- Sette lingue in `Locales/*.xaml`, con le stesse chiavi; layout coperto dai test di contratto XAML.
+- Per altri dettagli di sviluppo: `docs/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md`, `docs/UX_REDESIGN_PLAN.md`, `docs/release/RELEASE_RUNBOOK.md`.

+- Pre-release tags (for example `v1.7.7-beta.2`) use matching project metadata and `docs/releases/<tag>.md` tester notes. The workflow marks them as pre-release, leaves latest unchanged, and skips winget manifests/publication. Chocolatey remains manual and must not be published for this beta.
 - `workflow_dispatch` may be run with `dry_run_publish=true` to validate build, assets, summaries, and winget flow without external publication.
 - Chocolatey publish is manual only through the `Publish Chocolatey` workflow, after prior ThreadPilot versions clear Chocolatey moderation.
 - Every publish channel that runs must leave evidence behind via `GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY` plus uploaded log artifacts.

 - **Efficiency mode / EcoQoS:** Windows decides / On / Off, independently of CPU priority, for live processes and saved rules. A warning explains the global Power Throttling override.
 - **Rules and backup reliability:** persistent rules are included in configuration backups; imports are validated and rolled back on failure; overlapping rules have deterministic precedence and conflict reporting.
 - **UI refresh:** labelled navigation, clearer Process and Rules editors, priority undo, Windows 11-style Settings/Tweaks, remembered layout and filters, scaling fixes, and seven-language localization.
+- **CI/release fixes:** native EcoQoS tests now run on a Windows 11-era kernel (Server 2025), rather than Server 2022 which rejects power-throttling read-back. Beta tags remain pre-release and cannot replace the stable/latest release or enter the winget publication job.
