- Unified PipeWire installation into a single checklist option ("PipeWire Audio Stack"). Removed confusing dual options (Standard/Backports) to streamline Debian 13 workflows. Added Bluetooth Hi-Res codec support (LDAC, aptX, AAC) with automatic detection of `libfdk-aac` variants across all Debian versions.
- Refactored `_install_nvidia_standard()` in `modules/gpu/nvidia.sh` to respect the `NVIDIA_DRIVER_MODE` signal from the dispatcher, eliminating external dependency on `nvidia-detect`. Added logic to select between Open Kernel Modules (Turing/Ada/Ampere) and Classic DKMS (Maxwell/Pascal/Volta). Enhanced confirmation dialogs to display both driver and kernel module versions.
- Updated `_install_mesa_32bit()` in `modules/gaming/_helpers.sh` with the same version resolution and upgrade logic as Audio, ensuring consistent UX for Backports selection on Debian 13.
- Expanded `NVIDIA_FAMILY_MAP` in `modules/gpu/_helpers.sh` to include missing silicon prefixes (Hopper, Blackwell variants) while maintaining "legacy" abstraction for driver policy separation.
- Fixed `set -euo pipefail` crashes across hardware detection: Added `|| true` guards to all `nvidia-smi`, `dpkg -l`, `apt-cache policy`, and `nvidia-detect` pipelines in `sysinfo.sh` (3 lines) and `gpu/nvidia.sh` (7+ lines).
- Created new Audio & Sound module (`modules/extras/audio/audio.sh`) with Debian version-specific logic: Bullseye basic mode vs Bookworm/Trixie standard PipeWire stack, plus ALSA utilities, pavucontrol, pulsemixer, playerctl. Added menu entry "14 Audio & Sound".
- Migrated Flatpak from System Tools to Software Center category. Renamed menu to "Software Center & Flatpak", converted single-select to multi-select checklist in `software_centers.sh`, removed logic from `system.sh`.
- Implemented robust time synchronization: New `_ensure_time_synced()` function in `utils.sh` forces NTP active, validates timezone with interactive `dpkg-reconfigure tzdata` if needed, restarts `systemd-timesyncd`, and verifies sync status. Replaced `check_system_time` call in main script.
- Fixed System Info network detection: Removed hardcoded 2-line height limit (now dynamic via terminal size), fixed hard-coded array indices to use progressive counters for multiple interfaces including USB WiFi adapters.
