Optimizes `ahk/Powerplan.ahk` by removing an infinite loop that checked `WinExist()` every 5000ms. Replaced it with native `WinWait` and `WinWaitClose` logic. This reduces idle CPU utilization, entirely eliminates the 5-second polling latency when the target window state changes, and simplifies the codebase by removing state-tracking booleans.

Pull request overview
Updates the ahk/Powerplan.ahk AutoHotkey v2 utility to switch Windows power plans based on Fortnite window lifecycle using blocking waits instead of a periodic polling loop, aiming to reduce latency and unnecessary wakeups.
Changes:
- Replaced
WinExist+Sleep(5000)polling withWinWait/WinWaitClose. - Removed the
fortniteWasRunningstate-tracking variable and state-change branching.

Run() is asynchronous, so if Fortnite opens/closes quickly you can end up with overlapping powercfg invocations and a race where the earlier launch command finishes after the close command (leaving the wrong power plan active). Consider using RunWait() (or capturing the PID and waiting for it to exit) for both powercfg calls to guarantee ordering.
💡 What: Replaced the infinite
SleepandWinExistpolling loop withWinWaitandWinWaitCloseinsideahk/Powerplan.ahk. Removed thefortniteWasRunningstate variable as the execution inherently waits.🎯 Why: The previous script was polling the system every 5 seconds (5000ms via
DllCall), creating unnecessary CPU wake-ups and creating up to 5 seconds of latency when the game opens or closes before the power plan would actually switch.WinWaitcompletely halts execution of the thread at the Windows API level until the target window appears or disappears, reducing CPU impact to nearly zero and switching power plans instantly upon launch or exit.📊 Measured Improvement:
