Winchisel C++ rewrite is live

The native C++ / WinUI 3 rewrite of Winchisel is out and production-ready.

The first version was a Rust + egui prototype. It worked, but I wanted something that feels like a real Windows 11 app: native UI, direct WinRT/API calls, live state on every tweak, and no extra runtime. That’s now the main app.

Winchisel covers maintenance, debloating, privacy, performance tuning, process tools, latency analysis, cleanup, and more — with restore points, change history, and signed updates. The Rust repo is archived; development continues here:
