• Bumped launcher version to 27.4.0 (header, window title, telemetry text).
• Reworked menu layout:
  • Applications: 8 → RICHO Printer Setup (new entry).
  • System & Maintenance: C → Remove Duplicate Files (moved here as a maintenance tool).
  • Hardware & Fixes: N → ERP Font Install (new helper for ERP fonts).
• Updated action map to point these new keys at their respective scripts while keeping the core elevation, telemetry, and launcher logic unchanged.

🚀 What’s new in v27.3.0

• New compact launcher UI with ASCII header, live status bar, and single‐key navigation for all tools.[web:10]
• Auto‐elevate logic that works both when run locally and via iex/irm, with a safe self‐URL fallback.[web:13]
• Centralized remote script launcher: every tool opens in its own elevated PowerShell window using -EncodedCommand for robust argument handling.[web:16]
• Real‐time system status panel on each menu draw (CPU, RAM, C: drive usage, uptime, IP) with resilient fallbacks when CIM/WMI are unavailable.[web:10]
• Lightweight telemetry to a Cloudflare Worker endpoint containing username, machine, domain, and LAN IPs for basic environment insight.[web:10]

✨ Features in this launcher

Runtime and elevation

• Requires PowerShell 5.0 or higher (runtime guard instead of #Requires for iex/irm compatibility).[web:13]
• Admin detection via WindowsPrincipal, auto‐relaunch with Start-Process -Verb RunAs when needed.[web:16]
• When launched through irm/iex, downloads windowsScripts.ps1 to a temp path and re‐runs it elevated, falling back to inline iex (irm ...) if download fails.[web:10]

Console and UX

• Custom console sizing and positioning using a small C# helper (ConsoleNative) to set window size, buffer, and font (Consolas) for a compact dashboard.[web:15]
• ASCII logo banner and meta bar showing author, version, GitHub URL, host, and user information.[web:10]
• Two‐line live status summary:
  • Line 1: CPU load, RAM usage, C: drive usage.
  • Line 2: System uptime and primary IP.[web:10]
• Single‐key, case‐insensitive navigation with immediate feedback when a key has no mapped action.[web:10]

Networking and security tweaks

• Ensures TLS 1.2 is used for all outbound HTTP requests (telemetry and remote script fetch).[web:7]
• Per‐window temporary "Local Intranet" registry entries (HKCU\...\ZoneMap\Ranges) for configured LAN IPs, automatically cleaned up via PowerShell.Exiting events.[web:10]

⚠️ Notes

• Telemetry is enabled by default; if your environment requires no outbound calls, block the Worker URL or remove the telemetry block before use.[web:16]
• All child tools are invoked through the launcher for a consistent, centralized workflow in this version.[web:10]
