- Process clone: duplicate any process config instantly

- State persistence (save/restore across reboots)

- Ecosystem config via TOML or JSON

- Full REST API

- No console window popups on Windows (CREATE_NO_WINDOW)

No known CVEs for alter.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
