ANGLO ASCOT OFFICE TRACKER
2.1.0-beta.3 | Public beta | 13 October 2026

Uninstall reliability maintenance release.
- Waits for this installation's owned app and reminder processes to exit.
- Retries a brief Windows file lock for a bounded period. A persistent
  lock still reports that uninstall could not finish; it is not success.
- Keeps saved records, reminder history and recovery snapshots.
- No change to tracker features, deadline logic, records format, online
  edition or automatic-update behaviour.

Existing users: back up records, close the tracker, extract this ZIP
into a fresh folder and run update.cmd under the same Windows login.
This replaces the installed uninstaller with the maintenance fix.

Previous release
2.1.0-beta.2 | Public beta | 7 October 2026

- Initializes the reminder window layout with its full panel widths so
  Open tracker and Dismiss stay visible when the window opens and resizes.

- Separate public package with no supplied company list or private records.
  New installations start empty. Enter your own companies in Companies.
- Anglo Ascot Group attribution, website link and help/feedback email.
- First-run guidance and plain-language local-data/network information.
- Local company management, editable accounts/VAT schedules and separate
  period document checklists and notes.
- Editable default due dates: accounts +9 months; VAT +1 month and 7 days.
  Verify deadlines before use, including first accounts and special schemes.
- Annual recurrence waits for the new calendar year. Closed periods stay
  in history, and prior unfinished work remains available.
- Windows daily/sign-in reminders, export, backup and restore controls.
- Safe same-path update, preserved records on uninstall, runtime reuse,
  before-update snapshots and settings-write preflight inherited from 2.0.1.

This is a free local record and reminder tool. It does not file returns,
send accounting documents, calculate tax or replace official deadline checks.
No multi-PC sync, shared accounts or automatic update service is included.

Beta validation: Node engine/API and frontend event workflow tests run in a
Linux build environment. Frontend tests use explicit DOM stubs and real local
HTTP calls; they do not verify browser layout. Native automated release checks
cover PowerShell 5.1 install, same-path update, Task Scheduler integration,
uninstall and a synthetic reminder preview. Results are saved in release
evidence for the tested package. See test/QA.txt for coverage and limitations.

Physical Windows 10 / 11 PCs, actual due-event popup timing and minimized
shortcut launch remain unverified. The release remains a public beta.
