Windows 0.1.15 is live — Windows now catches up to the Mac release.

Highlights:
- Bit-perfect capture on Windows, verified. WASAPI process-loopback at the device's native mix rate, no internal resampler engaged. We wrote a verification harness that renders a known signal through shared-mode WASAPI, captures it back via the loopback path, then null-tests against the source. Across 48 kHz / 96 kHz and various source types (synthesised, decorrelated stereo, real .wav files), the result is max |c − s| = 0 — literally bit-identical samples, recovered gain 1.000000, residual SNR effectively infinite. Happy to share the test source with anyone who wants to reproduce it.
- Auto-rate now follows your default device (used to silently fall back to 48 kHz). Set Windows Sound → Format to your source rate; AudioRoute follows.

Honest caveat (Windows): bit-perfect here is relative to the audio engine's mix at the device rate. If an app plays 44.1 into a 48 kHz device, the engine resamples upstream of any capture tool — outside our reach. Match the rates and AudioRoute adds nothing.
