+Users install approved software through a small GUI or request helper. User tools write request files to a controlled drop directory. A SYSTEM scheduled task validates those requests against Group Policy, queues approved work, then runs a SYSTEM `winget` worker.
 
 ## What It Does
 
 - Reads allowed software from GPO registry policy.
 - Lets users install/uninstall only catalog entries allowed by policy.
 - Installs required software automatically.
+- Blocks user removal of required software.
+- Queues install, uninstall, and upgrade actions.
+- Shows current queue task and progress in the GUI.
 - Runs `winget upgrade --all` every 2 hours.
 - Tracks installed state from `winget export`, not from request history.
+- Polls user request files every minute; no long-lived user-facing daemon is required.

 ## Notes
 
 - Requires Windows, Desktop App Installer, and `winget`.
-- The daemon runs as `LocalSystem`; keep catalog policy restricted to trusted admins.
+- SYSTEM scheduled tasks validate and execute requests; keep catalog policy restricted to trusted admins.
 - Package IDs and silent machine-scope support depend on upstream `winget` packages.
