- Fix dll_name setting (was reading nonexistent "pinned_version") - Map numeric versions to codenames: - 0 -> rs2 (Windows 10) - 2 -> ni (Windows 11 22H2/23H2, builds 22621-22635 and 23403-23620) - 5 -> ge (Windows 11 24H2+) - Correct build ranges per EP wiki: - ni: 23403-23620 (not 25197) - .3 request-only: 25115-25915 (not 25201) - Return std::nullopt on failure instead of empty string - Fix memory leak: move install_path allocation after PickTaskbarDll() check - Update settings description and README for codename filenames - Add UBR limitation comment for 22621 < .1343

Summary
dll_namesetting (was reading nonexistentpinned_version)install_pathallocation afterPickTaskbarDll()checkRationale
The ep_taskbar_releases repo switched from numeric naming to codename naming as of April 2026. The latest release (
1d8133a) ships:ep_taskbar.rs2(Windows 10)ep_taskbar.ni(Windows 11 22H2/23H2)ep_taskbar.ge(Windows 11 24H2+)Builds requiring ep_taskbar.1, .3, or .4 are listed as "available upon request" in the EP wiki. These versions exist due to ABI differences in
ITrayComponentHostacross Windows builds. Neither the old numeric releases nor the new codename releases ship these publicly. Users on those builds can obtain the DLL separately and pin it via thedll_namesetting.Build ranges corrected per the EP taskbar wiki: Dev builds 25115+ require .3, not .2/ni.
