BackInfo.ini:
- AutoBackground=0: don't read live desktop color during deployment;
Windows hasn't propagated the registry background color to the
live session yet, so AutoBackground reads black
- BackgroundColor=4668194: explicit COLORREF for #223B47
(was 2097152 = 0x200000 = RGB(0,0,32), near-black)
05-personalization.ps1:
- Add Explorer\Accent\AccentColorMenu = 0xFF473B22
- Add Explorer\Accent\StartColorMenu = 0xFF473B22
Windows taskbar reads AccentColorMenu for its color when
ColorPrevalence=1; DWM\AccentColor only controls title bars.
Without these keys the taskbar shows Windows default blue
(RGB 130, 232, 253 = Windows 11 "Steel" default accent).

- 04-default-profile: default profile now pins Explorer+Edge (was empty),
preventing MS Store and other defaults from appearing in taskbar
- 03-system-registry: disable Edge new tab page quick links, background,
content feed (NewTabPageQuickLinksEnabled/BackgroundEnabled/AllowedBackgroundTypes)
- 05-personalization: set Wallpaper="" in default hive so new user accounts
get solid-color background instead of black fallback
- runner: add onStepStart callback, fires before each script launch
- gui: step progress strip in run phase — color-coded labels per step
