Local checkpoint - NOT for public release. Ed: an update should tear down the service,
update it, and restart it. It didn't - the updater has no service awareness.
Current (unchanged, verified correct): the auto-updater renames the install files aside
and copies the new ones in, which a running service TOLERATES (no failed swap). The old
version keeps streaming; the new files sit in place.
New: the service now adopts the update itself. Because it runs as SYSTEM (which has the
rights the non-elevated updater lacks), a 45s timer notices when a strictly-newer
RemSound.exe has landed next to it and restarts itself onto the new binary (detached
PowerShell Stop-Service+Start-Service). Loop-safe: only fires on a strictly-newer on-disk
version; any uncertainty (file mid-swap, unparseable version) means don't restart, and
after the restart on-disk == running so it never re-triggers.
Test "Service registration args" now also covers the version-comparison logic (newer =>
restart; same/older/missing => no restart). Gate 27/27.

Local checkpoint - NOT for public release. A "what else does a service need" pass.
- AUTO-RESTART ON CRASH: DoInstall now sets sc failure actions (restart 5s/10s/then 60s,
reset daily). Without this a crashed service stays dead until reboot - fatal for an
always-on streamer.
- FINDABLE LOGS: --run-service redirects the service's data dir to the machine-wide
ProgramData\RemSound\service location, so its log sits next to its profile instead of
buried in the SYSTEM account's AppData.
- POWER RESUME: the service handles OnPowerEvent and re-opens capture on wake (audio
devices re-initialise after sleep; the device-change watcher usually catches it, but a
resume doesn't always fire an endpoint change, so we re-open explicitly).
- Start/stop already auto-log to the Windows Event Log via ServiceBase.
Test: "Service registration args" now also checks the audio-service dependency and the
auto-restart failure args. Gate 27/27.

Local checkpoint - NOT for public release. Ed: the service profile must never be
reachable except through the Service menu.
Also fixes a real bug: the service runs as SYSTEM, whose per-user data folder is NOT the
interactive user's - so a profile saved in the user's profiles folder (or AppConfig, both
per-user) was invisible to the service. It would have idled, never streaming.
- New RemSound.Core.ServiceStore: the service profile + its settings (logging) live in a
MACHINE-WIDE ProgramData\RemSound\service location - same absolute path for the user
(config dialog) and SYSTEM (service). Moved ServiceProfileName/ServiceLoggingEnabled off
AppConfig (per-user) onto this store.
- ServiceSendHost.FromConfig + RemSoundService now read ServiceStore; ConfigureServiceProfile
saves there (and migrates + deletes any profile left in the old user-folder location).
- Because it's no longer in the user's profiles folder, it can't appear in the startup
picker, File->Open, Recent profiles, or the password manager (all of which read the user
ProfileStore); the reserved-title filter in ListProfileTitles stays as belt-and-braces.
- Password button renamed "Set service profile password".
- New self-test "Service profile isolation": store is under ProgramData, the reserved title
is filtered from the listing, and it round-trips through the machine-wide store.
Gate 27/27.

Local checkpoint - NOT for public release.
- RemSoundService (ServiceBase): hosts ServiceSendHost.RunLoop on a worker thread,
OnStop cancels + joins. Added System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController package.
- ServiceControl: install (sc.exe create, auto-start, careful binPath quoting) /
uninstall (stop + delete) / start / stop / status. Status query is unprivileged
(menu can poll it); the mutating verbs self-elevate via ShellExecute runas.
- Program.cs: early guards for --run-service (blocks in the SCM dispatcher) and the
one-shot elevated verbs, before the single-instance lock (the service is a
separate role and must never take the interactive lock).
- Self-test "Service registration args" verifies the sc create binPath quoting
survives a spaced exe path. Gate 20/20.
