[0.5.0] - 2026-07-18
Added
- Config Start menu All Programs dropdown: Cascading sub-menu / Inside main menu / Hidden (
shell.programsMode: Cascade | Inline | Hidden; default Cascade).
- Classic Start pin rail union: OS Start pins (via
IStartLayoutCmdlet / start2.bin monitor, 5s poll safety net) plus classic folder pins; default pin folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\win711\Pinned.
- Local OS pin suppress list (
%LocalAppData%\win711\os-pin-hidden.json) so unpin from classic hides OS-sourced items without writing Win11 Start.
- StartMenuHelper shipped for classic pin folder (
pin_classic); settings shell.pinnedPrograms / pinnedItemsPath / disablePinExt on settings.json.
- Classic Start context menus: single Pin / Unpin from Start menu for the pin section (folder + OS suppress); stock Windows pin/unpin verbs stripped inside the menu (
disablePinExt default true so Explorer is not dual-labeled).
- OS pin COM export is stamp-gated on
start2.bin (mtime/size): not re-written on every Start open; still refreshes after real OS pin changes (watcher + 5s poll).
- Pin path debug timing in
shell.log when shell.debugLogging is on (OsStartPins: EnsureLoaded skip/COM, export create/export/parse ms, resolve, union, pin/unpin).
- Shell SEH crash dumps to
%LocalAppData%\win711\crashes\ (shell.crashDump Off|Mini|Medium|Full; default Mini); breadcrumb .txt after dump; config Advanced control.
- Bar: shell-down pipe fail-fast (short Connect when shell likely down) + rate-limited alert when Start host dies / restarts.
- Decision D12 (pin stores: OS honor + classic folder + suppress) and pin/crash tooling notes under
tools/ (watch-start-pins.ps1, register-startmenu-helper.ps1).
Fixed
- Crash on hover of OS-sourced pin items: do not store export order in
jumpIndex (that field is jumplist-only; use mruOrder instead).
