- New screen-reader hotkey "Speak the RemSound status information" (issue #13):
reads the status line aloud through the active screen reader via Tolk, fires from
anywhere (system-wide), unset by default. Built behind an IScreenReaderOutput seam
so a future build can swap Tolk for Prism on Windows 10+ without touching callers.
Tolk DLLs vendored under tolk/ and shipped next to the exe.
- New Logging tab in Preferences: Enable logs + Write logs now moved there, plus
opt-in startup "warn if logs folder exceeds N MB" and "delete logs older than N days",
and a "Delete all logs" button (Yes/No confirm). New LogMaintenance helper + AppConfig
settings drive it.
- Manual (readme.html + regenerated MANUAL.md), About changelog and RELEASE_NOTES
updated in plain English; csproj <Version> bumped to 4.3.

Freezes the v3.4 feature set (everything since the v3.3 public release):
- Fix the receiver handle leak: the 3-second device-refresh timer reopened the
configured ASIO driver every tick, and Realtek's ASIO driver leaks Event+Mutant
handles on every open. Cache the ASIO probe per driver so it is opened once.
- Realtek ASIO block: detect a Realtek ASIO driver, offer once to disable it, and
never touch it again if disabled; Options-menu toggle to reverse. Global config.
- Device hot-plug is event-driven (AudioDeviceChangeNotifier) instead of a 3s poll;
debounced refresh, falls back to polling if registration fails.
- Quick profile switch: new global hotkey opens an NVDA-friendly popup of all
profiles (current marked); Enter/click switches; plays a new "profile menu open"
cue with Preferences mute + custom-sound.
- Announce assigned global hotkeys on the controls/menu items they drive (NVDA reads
"press X anywhere"). File > Open already had Ctrl+O.
- Held-back changes folded in: config-folder migration, codec-column fix, Tailscale
endpoint network-prune, empty-password guard, and the handle-leak diagnostics
(ProcessSelfMeter, HandleTypeProbe).
Version bumped to 3.4.0.

Bug fixes:
* BothIndependent recording was double-tapped — when both WASAPI and
ASIO outputs were ticked, recordings came out garbled and ~2x the
expected duration. AudioRecorder now uses four per-lane rings
(sent-wasapi, sent-asio, recv-wasapi, recv-asio) plus a writer-
thread mix step that drains min(wasapi, asio) frames and sum-mixes
with the soft-tanh limiter. Tap signatures gained a RenderRoute
parameter; Mixed maps to the wasapi slot.
* A peer announcing on the WASAPI lane was inaudible when the
receiver only had an ASIO output ticked (and vice versa). The
session opened, samples flowed into the SessionPlayout ring, but
ReadForRoute(AsioLane) skipped any session whose Route was
WasapiLane so nothing drained the ring. PlayoutEngine now tracks
per-lane "is this lane backed by a device" via volatile bools
settable through SetLaneActive(RenderRoute, bool), called from
CompositeRenderBackend.SetOutputDevices whenever the device split
changes. ReadForRoute admits orphan sessions when the other lane
is inactive.
Menu reorganisation:
* New Options menu (Alt+O) holds Recording settings (Alt+S), Keyboard
shortcuts (Alt+K, Ctrl+K), Startup behaviour (Alt+T), Preferences
(Alt+P, Ctrl+P). Pre-v1.5 these were scattered across File menu,
Record menu, and inside the Preferences dialog itself.
* Record menu mnemonic moved from Alt+O to Alt+K, rendered as
"Record (Alt+K)" so the chord is visible despite K not being a
letter in "Record". Alt+R is taken by Receive audio.
* File menu — new Recent profiles submenu (Alt+F, R) listing the
five most-recently-opened profiles. Press 1..5 inside the submenu
to jump to a slot. Missing files are skipped from the menu but
kept in storage.
* Rename current profile moves to Alt+M (was R), Minimise to tray
moves to Alt+N (was M).
* Lock to audio clock was Alt+K, now Alt+D.
UX additions:
* Ctrl+O = Open profile (matches the menu chord).
* New global hotkey: Start / Stop recording. Pickable from Options
-> Keyboard shortcuts. Unbound by default. Works system-wide.
Wire format and audio pipeline unchanged from v1.4 — v1.4 and v1.5
peers interoperate.
