Version5.1

🚀 Release v5.1 - Launcher Overhaul & Project Cleanup

This update focuses on improving the user experience of the initial deployment phase and hardening the repository structure for better security and performance.

---

🌟 New Features & Improvements

• Enhanced Launcher (.bat): Complete rewrite of the batch launcher with a new interactive menu.
• Added UAC Elevation Check: Automatically requests Administrator privileges if not already elevated.
• Modular Execution: New options to run "Full Deployment," "Bloatware Removal Only," or "App Installation Only."
• Improved Error Handling: Better path detection for DeployWorkstation.ps1 to ensure the script runs reliably.
• Smart Parameter Passing: The launcher now dynamically passes flags (like -SkipAppInstall) to the PowerShell engine based on user selection.

🛠️ Maintenance & Security

• Repository Hardening: Updated .gitignore to prevent sensitive data (secrets.json, .env, .pfx) and heavy installers (.msi, .iso) from being accidentally committed to the cloud.
• Documentation: Updated CHANGELOG.md to reflect recent internal milestones.
• Cleanup: Removed deprecated DRAFT_CHANGELOG.md to streamline the project root.
