CoreShift UClamp is a systemless CPU utilization clamp solution that combines:
a custom Powerhint.json overlay,
a custom taskprofile.json overlay,
and a runtime uclamp enforcement layer.
All three work together.

CoreShift UClamp directly defines how much CPU time each execution class is allowed to consume, instead of relying on frequency scaling alone.
The tweaks operate on scheduler utilization clamps (uclamp), which control task placement and boost eligibility.

Deterministic Vulkan renderer enforcement module for the CoreShift framework.
Forces the system render pipeline to Vulkan (SkiaVK / threaded RenderEngine) and stabilizes the graphics backend selection at boot-time to reduce backend thrashing, improve frame pacing consistency, and ensure predictable GPU-driven rendering behavior.

Force a Softreboot.
Dont use this in combination with CoreShift Runtime.
Do not enable on devices with incomplete or broken Vulkan implementations.
Incorrect usage may result in bootloop.

Added module kill switch and Render information to the action button
Added uninstall script incase where youre stuck logo, you can simply uninstall them
Added softreboot gating so it doesnt trigger twice

Deterministic baseline restoration layer for the CoreShift framework.
Locks the system into a known-good configuration state and prevents unintended configuration drift.

Snapshots the current global configuration table.
Resets all tunables and overrides back to a clean baseline state.
Stores the snapshot as the authoritative reference.
No background enforcement loops. No periodic rewrites

Action button reapplies the backed-up global table.
Once restored, the backed settings are treated as final.
Subsequent resets will not override or discard this state.
NOTE: Always backup from a known good state
