App grouping now works on Windows, where it groups a process with the helpers it spawned (fixes #26386)
Killing a grouped app on Windows now terminates every process in the group rather than only the main process and its children
Grouped rows on Windows keep the app's icon instead of falling back to a generic one

Fixed truncated memory values in the process list by formatting accessories compactly (binary units without spaces, e.g. 100MiB instead of 105 MB, one decimal for CPU)

App grouping is now enabled by default and groups processes by .app bundle path for more accurate CPU and memory totals (fixes #25095)
Killing a grouped app now terminates all related child processes, not just the main process
Grouped apps show how many processes they include in the subtitle
Auto-refresh is disabled when the extension launches in the background, preventing timeout errors while idle (fixes #28391)
The loading indicator only appears on the initial fetch; background refreshes no longer flash the list
Added empty states for failed fetches and when no processes are found

Prevented background refreshes from overlapping and surfacing timeout errors while the process list is left open.

Added action to kill all processes with the same name
Added AI tool killall-process to allow natural-language "kill all " commands via AI

Removed the redundant Default Sort By preference (sorting is now persisted via the command dropdown)

Extract AI instructions from package.json into dedicated ai.yaml file
Fix and clarify AI eval criteria wording, and improve the instructions for some edge cases

Force kills the chosen process with sudo (requires enabling sudo authentication with fingerprint)

Added AI Extensions support allowing natural language interaction with the extension

Adopted separate accessories for CPU and memory usage, including icons
Added a dropdown to the command list for sorting processes by CPU or memory usage
Added a section title for the command list
Removed the checkmark emoji from toast message to avoid redundancy with the success toast style
Shortened the extension description to fit the space of the Store extension
Improved the description of preferences for better clarity
