Tier1Timer sets and locks the Windows timer resolution to 0.5 ms (the Windows default is 15.6 ms),
reducing input lag and improving frame pacing in games. Auto Mode applies the right timer resolution
per game automatically — set it once and forget it. The system timer is always restored to the
Windows default on exit or crash. Portable single exe (~1 MB), code-signed via Azure Trusted Signing.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
