 - Creates a backup at `app.asar.bak` before patching
 - You can set a custom proxy with the `PROXY` environment variable
+- Use `--path` to point at a non-default install location; auto-detection also covers `Program Files` and the newer `Programs\httptoolkit\HTTP Toolkit` layout on Windows
 - Works offline after first run (caches UI files locally)
