ChaoticSi1ence/SlimBrave-Neo v2.0.2

v2.0.2 - Optimization pass

on GitHub

An optimization pass. Zero behaviour change — every preset builds byte-identical policy to v2.0.1 (verified against the actual v2.0.1 code, not assumed), all 372 tests pass untouched, and the tri-state enums, embedded presets, and three-way implementation lockstep were all re-verified after the changes.

Net −22 lines across all four source files. Every change was adversarially reviewed before landing: three independent finders swept ~9,800 lines, and only six changes cleared the bar of measurably faster, strictly smaller, or clearly simpler with identical behaviour. Everything else found was rejected as churn.

Faster

• Dark-theme GUI startup drops one full in-process C# compilation. The dark-titlebar DwmSetWindowAttribute P/Invoke lived in its own Add-Type, compiled on every dark-mode launch — measured at roughly 110–415ms depending on session state. It's now folded into the existing DpiHelper type: one compile instead of two.
• Every macOS --persist on Apply spawns one fewer profiles subprocess. The install path re-checked and re-removed the Configuration Profile that its only caller had already torn down.

Smaller

• The Space/Enter activation dispatch, duplicated between the list handler and the button-row handler, is now a single shared activate_row() — byte-identical in both Python scripts, one edit site instead of two per file.
• Two identical 15-line curses prompt-overlay paint blocks in the macOS script collapsed into one helper.
• Test-suite duplication removed: _check_feature delegates to _get_feature, and four hand-rolled config-write blocks reuse the existing _write_config helper. Collected test count is identical before and after (376).
