+
+Just as Proxima is the closest star to Earth, AxionOS 2.7 "Proxima" brings the operating system closer than ever to your expectations of fluidity, design, and raw performance. This release is a massive step forward, featuring major performance engines, design overhauls, and hundreds of bug fixes.
+
+## PulseEngine: Thesis-Backed Precision
+
+Sustained performance shouldn't come at the cost of power efficiency, and peak performance shouldn't mean thermal throttling. To address this, we are introducing **PulseEngine**, a brand-new, thesis-backed scheduler algorithm designed from the ground up to redefine how system resources are managed.
+
+Unlike generic schedulers that react purely to CPU loads, PulseEngine is highly proactive. By carefully predicting and controlling system work around user-perceived deadlines, PulseEngine ensures:
+* **Targeted Smoothness:** Significant improvements in foreground responsiveness and app launch speeds.
+* **Sustained Performance:** Keeps your device running cooler during long gaming or multitasking sessions.
+* **Power Efficiency:** Reduces unnecessary CPU overhead by minimizing resource allocation for background tasks that fall outside user interaction thresholds.
+
+Along with PulseEngine, **AxBurstEngine v2** now includes optimized support for legacy stune devices, bringing our signature performance improvements to an even wider range of legacy hardware.

+
+## User Interface: Enter the Blur & Android 17 Quick Settings
+
+We've completely reimagined our system aesthetic by introducing a gorgeous **Expressive Blur UI**. This new design adds rich depth and sophisticated glassmorphism elements across the system. 
+
+But the crown jewel of our visual refresh is the **Android 17 Quick Settings Port**. We are among the first to bring this forward-looking design directly to your current device, giving you a sneak peek into the future of Android customization.

+</div>
+
+And to make sure everything moves as beautifully as it looks, the **AxAnimationEngine** has been deeply integrated to deliver incredibly fluid, physics-based app launch and exit animations that respond dynamically to your touch.

+
+## Lockscreen Clock & Personalization Overhaul
+
+Your lockscreen is the first thing you see, and with Proxima, you can make it truly yours. We have completely reworked the **Lockscreen Clock UX & UI**, introducing a brand-new **freeform lockscreen clock customization** system that lets you place, size, and style your clock exactly how you want.
+
+We’ve also ported gorgeous new clock styles and faces from **ColorOS**, offering a wide variety of minimalist, bold, and artistic expressions.

+
+## Routines Redefined: Advanced Automation
+
+Routines have been a cornerstone of our built-in automation for a long time. With Proxima, we are giving this powerful framework a complete **UI overhaul** and bringing comprehensive stability and quality-of-life enhancements.
+
+First and foremost, we have completely **fixed long-standing issues that caused certain routines to fail or not execute**. With the underlying logic fully stabilized, you can trust your automated actions to run flawlessly every single time. 
+
+Additionally, we have elevated the visual design and added highly requested features to the ecosystem:
+* **HTTP & Internet Routines:** Connect your phone directly to the web. Trigger webhook calls, fetch API data, or communicate with local smart home setups via web requests.
+* **Advanced Options:** Fine-tune execution conditions with precise logic and state monitoring.
+* **Duplication Options:** Easily clone existing routines to make variations without building them from scratch.
+* **Status Bar Icon:** Stay informed. A dedicated status bar icon now indicates when a routine is actively running.
+* **Import & Export All:** Backup your workflows effortlessly. You can now bulk import and export your entire suite of custom routines to move them between devices or save them for safekeeping.

+
+## Redefining the Launcher
+
+The default launcher has received a comprehensive suite of customization features and performance upgrades:
+
+* **Themed Icons Redefined:** Complete granular control with **icon size scaling** and customized **foreground/background color** adjustments.
+* **Optimized Blur Strategy:** A redesigned launcher blur pipeline dramatically reduces GPU and memory resource usage, ensuring that opening and closing your app drawer is buttery smooth.
+* **QSB Provider Settings:** Added a configurable Quick Search Bar provider setting, letting you choose your preferred search engine directly.
+* **Recents Opacity Controls:** Fine-tune the transparency of your recents screen background.
+* **Expanded Folder UI:** Beautifully redesigned expanded folders that make grouping and accessing apps easier.

+## Under-the-Hood Polish & Refinements
+
+Proxima isn't just about big features; it's about addressing the papercuts that matter.
+
+### ThemeEngine & Haptics
+* **Icon Sizing:** Fixed scaling issues with signal and Wi-Fi icons in the status bar.
+* **UDFPS Themes:** Corrected render sizing for custom under-display fingerprint scanner (UDFPS) animations.
+* **Tactile Feedback:** Added a toggle to enable or disable haptic feedback specifically for fingerprint registration and unlocking.
+
+### Dynamic Bar & Stability
+* **Keyguard Gestures:** Resolved keyguard touch and gesture issues on the expanded dynamic bar.
+* **Album Art & CPU Usage:** Stabilized keyguard album art rendering, eliminating unstable UI/media updates that previously caused background CPU spikes.
+* **Typography:** Conducted a comprehensive audit of system fonts to address typography inconsistencies throughout the OS.
+
+### Axion SDK, Build System & Fixes
+* **Axion SDK:** Introduced `ax_blur` libraries, paving the way for developers to easily integrate our high-performance blur effects into third-party apps.
+* **Build System Optimization:** Reworked our build system rules to prevent Out-Of-Memory (OOM) situations and improved Ninja build speed on development machines with 32GB of RAM or below.
+* **Bug Fixes:**
+  * Fixed the annoying gray scrim when pulsing or waking up the device.
+  * Resolved security and access bugs with the **Sandbox Vault**.
+  * Fixed theme picker crashes and glitches.
+  * Corrected per-app volume controls to ensure system apps are properly displayed.
+  * Resolved system freezing issues when utilizing the keep-alive feature.

+## Setting Our Coordinates
+
+Just as Proxima represents a new cosmic destination, this release marks a fresh starting point for AxionOS. We are charting a bold new course, building and setting up our feature base entirely from the ground up to ensure unparalleled performance and modern standards.
+
+> **Note:** As we upstream to v2.7, we are currently rebuilding and setting up our features entirely from scratch. To ensure everything is rock-solid and fully optimized, this release carries a **Beta** tag while we focus on stabilizing our core feature set.
+
+We are incredibly excited about this new foundation, and we thank you for walking this road with us as we refine the future of AxionOS!
