Summary

Adds Aikonic Clarity, a free hardware monitor for Windows by Hancock Technologies (Switzerland). EV code-signed MSI distributed from aikonic.app, Microsoft-attested kernel driver, no account, no telemetry.

Closes #19254.

Project pages:

Manifest notes

  • URL fragment #/installer.bin — Scoop's MSI auto-extractor would strip the installer before installer.script runs. Renaming the download to a non-known extension lets the raw MSI survive to msiexec /i.
  • Installer renames installer.bin back to Aikonic_<version>_x64_en-US.msi and runs msiexec /i with -Verb RunAs (one UAC prompt — the installer registers a Windows service and installs a kernel driver, so admin is required). Exit code 3010 is surfaced as a warn so a required restart isn't reported as silent success.
  • Uninstaller passes the cached MSI to msiexec /x so msiexec reads the ProductCode from the file itself. The MSI's registered ARP DisplayName shifts between "Aikonic" and "Aikonic Control" at runtime depending on licence tier, so ProductCode is the reliable identifier. Also warns on 3010.

Validators

  • bin/checkver.ps1 aikonic-clarity — found 1.1.34, matches manifest
  • bin/checkver.ps1 aikonic-clarity -ForceUpdate — autoupdate rewrites manifest cleanly; hash extracted from .sha256 sidecar
  • bin/checkhashes.ps1 aikonic-clarity — OK
  • bin/formatjson.ps1 aikonic-clarity — no changes

End-to-end install test

Windows 11 24H2 dev rig, fresh Scoop install:

  • scoop install aikonic-clarity — one UAC prompt, msiexec exit 0, service and driver registered

  • scoop list aikonic-clarity — 1.1.34, source matches

  • scoop uninstall aikonic-clarity — one UAC prompt, msiexec exit 0, clean removal

  • Use conventional PR title: <manifest-name[@version]|chore>: <general summary of the pull request>

  • I have read the Contributing Guide

Aikonic Clarity is a free hardware monitor for Windows by Hancock
Technologies. Signed MSI (EV code-signing), Microsoft-attested kernel
driver, no account, no telemetry. Project page:
https://aikonic.app/clarity/ (homepage), https://aikonic.app/download/
(versioned download index).

Manifest installs the signed MSI via msiexec with -Verb RunAs (one UAC
prompt). URL fragment #/installer.bin sidesteps Scoop's MSI
auto-extractor so the raw MSI reaches msiexec. Uninstaller passes the
cached MSI to msiexec /x so ProductCode is read from the file; this
avoids the ARP DisplayName shifting between tiers at runtime.

Validators: bin/checkver.ps1, bin/checkhashes.ps1, bin/formatjson.ps1
and bin/checkver.ps1 -ForceUpdate (autoupdate) all clean.

Walkthrough

Adds a Scoop manifest for Aikonic Clarity version 1.1.34. It defines the 64-bit MSI download and SHA-256 hash, install and uninstall scripts, version detection, and autoupdate metadata. The installer checks the newest related installed version before running elevated msiexec. The scripts handle specified MSI exit codes and report other codes as errors.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "aikonic-clarity: Add version 1.1.34" follows the repository's conventional format (manifest-name: summary). It names the manifest and the version, and both match the changeset, which adds bucket/aikonic-clarity.json at version 1.1.34. The title is concise and specific.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the required template items. It gives a summary and links the issue with "Closes #19254." It includes both checkboxes: the conventional title checkbox and the Contributing Guide checkbox. The author marks both as checked. It also explains the manifest design (the installer.bin rename, the elevated msiexec install and uninstall, and the exit code 3010 handling) and reports validator runs and an end-to-end install test. The template's "Closes #XXXX" or "Relates to #XXXX" line is filled in with a real issue number. The template's comment about opening a Package Request issue first is satisfied by the linked issue.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#19254] The only changed file is bucket/aikonic-clarity.json (new file, +60 lines). The manifest meets the coding requirements of #19254:

  • Name: the file is named aikonic-clarity.json.
  • Version: "version" is 1.1.34, the latest stable release.
  • Language and edition: the URL points to Aikonic_1.1.34_x64_en-US.msi, the English free-tier MSI. No Control tier package is added.
  • Download: the 64-bit URL is the versioned MSI from https://aikonic.app/download/, with a SHA-256 hash.
  • Homepage: https://aikonic.app/clarity/.
  • Install: the default path runs one elevated msiexec /i invocation with /qn and /norestart, as the issue describes.
  • Uninstall and update metadata: the uninstaller runs msiexec /x on the cached MSI. checkver and autoupdate are defined.
    The install script also adds a guard. When a related Aikonic version is already installed, the script runs no msiexec. This guard is an extra branch. It does not change the standard single-invocation path that the issue describes.
    The popularity and verification criteria in #19254 are not coding requirements. They are not assessed here.
    The PR reports successful checkver, checkhashes, formatjson, and install/uninstall tests. These reports are author statements. They are not repository evidence, but no requirement depends on them for this verdict.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

[#19254] All changes sit in bucket/aikonic-clarity.json and implement the package requested by #19254. The changes fall into these groups:

  • Install script: renames installer.bin to the versioned MSI name, then runs msiexec /i with elevation. It warns on exit code 3010 and throws on other failure codes.
  • Related-product guard: the script reads related Aikonic versions through WindowsInstaller.RelatedProducts and skips installation when an equal or newer version is present. It writes a not-installed-by-scoop marker. This guard relates to the install path. It also supports the issue scope boundary: Control is a separate paid tier and is not part of this package.
  • Uninstall script: leaves Aikonic in place when the marker is present. Otherwise it runs msiexec /x on the cached MSI. It warns on 1605 and 3010.
  • Metadata: checkver and autoupdate blocks.
    The uninstall-leaves-in-place behavior and the related-product guard are not described in the current PR description. The commit message mentions the uninstall behavior. The PR description does not state the guard. This is a documentation gap. It is not a demonstrated unrelated change, because each branch acts on the same package install or removal path.
Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Comment thread bucket/aikonic-clarity.json Resolved
Split exit 3010 off the accepted list in both scripts: emit `warn`
instead so a required restart is surfaced in Scoop's output rather than
reported as silent success. Keep 1641 accepted (reboot initiated,
informational; /norestart is passed so msiexec will not initiate).

Preserve Scoop’s installation when Aikonic updates itself.

If RelatedProducts reports a self-updated Aikonic version that is at least as new as the Scoop manifest, this guard can abort scoop update. With junctions enabled, Scoop has already removed current and does not restore it. The old version remains detectable, but Scoop marks the installation as failed.

Handle this case without running an older MSI or aborting the Scoop update. Preserve the fresh-install guard and uninstall behavior.

Test the self-update sequence locally. Also run .\bin\checkver.ps1 -App aikonic-clarity -f and .\bin\formatjson.ps1 -App aikonic-clarity, then test scoop install bucket/aikonic-clarity.json -a 64bit on a clean machine. See the Scoop manifest wiki.

…ready installed

Scoop runs the installer script after unlinking current, so throwing here
left the install dir half-removed when Aikonic had self-updated past the
manifest version. Switch the "newer or equal already installed" branch
from throw to warn and run msiexec only when we are the newest, so Scoop
finishes link_current and records the install cleanly.

Order tweak so the versioned rename happens before the guard: the
uninstaller still finds the MSI if the guard path was taken.
