Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Delivered a focused overhaul of boolean argument handling in intel/gits, introducing flexible environment-variable parsing, a robust boolean type for diverse true/false representations, and alignment of flag semantics with standard argument handling while preserving compatibility where needed. Implemented configuration change auditing to improve runtime visibility by logging values that diverge from defaults. A targeted revert ensured prior behavior was maintained where necessary, contributing to stability while enabling clearer auditability. These changes reduce configuration-related outages and improve operational insight.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Delivered an ImGui-based Heads-Up Display (HUD) for DirectX (DX12) in intel/gits, enabling real-time diagnostics and performance visibility. The HUD surfaces application details, GITS version, back buffer resolution, frame number, and FPS, and is fully configurable via the existing configuration system (toggleable and customizable). Implemented and validated in commit 0568aaf90a5eef1e4db05dc9d6dae4531421aac1 with the message "[DX12] Adding an ImGui HUD". This work enhances observability, reduces debugging time, and lays the groundwork for future DX observability enhancements.
