## 0.8.0 - 2026-09-24
An opt-in BIOS update for the Steam Machine, and a menu that comes back after
every run. Merged together with 0.7.0, so v0.8.0 is the release that has both.
- `2f9b2a5` **feat: Opt-in BIOS update for the Steam Machine**
- New menu item (Steam Machine only, never ticked by default) showing the
current BIOS version and the newest from Valve's `fremont-hw-support`.
- Two large warnings and two confirmations (y/N, then typing `UPDATE`),
checksum-verified download, installed with fwupd; the wizard then offers
the restart that writes it, with a warning to keep the power on.
- `40c9ee6` **fix: BIOS update only when newer, device check first, aligned warnings**
- The item is greyed out and can't be ticked unless Valve has a newer BIOS.
- Before any warning: SHA-256 of Valve's package, then fwupd confirms the
firmware fits this machine's hardware; otherwise it stops.
- Warning box drawn with a solid red frame whose edges line up, and the
menu's "Now" column aligned.
- `b70c9d6` **fix: shellcheck in the bundle, and the docs for the BIOS checks**
- A variable name in `lib/bios.sh` clashed with `lib/state.sh` in the bundle
(CI's shellcheck would fail); README, AGENTS.md and this changelog updated.
- **feat: Menu comes back after each run, BIOS dry run, version 0.8.0**
- After a run the menu returns with the new state; quit with `q`. When
something needs a restart, choose between back to the menu (`m`) and
restart now (`r`); quitting asks once more.
- A staged BIOS update greys the item out until the restart.
- `WIZARD_BIOS_DRY_RUN=1` walks through the whole BIOS update (download,
checksum, both warnings) but only prints the install and never flashes.
- README: the menu loop and the BIOS update step by step.
