 # 2.4.3  
 ### Systemwide Killswitch Introduced for Enable  
+
+### July 23, 2026  
+Separation of performing subprocess commands, parsing them for error strings, and handling those errors as enum types.  Systemwide error handling was introduced via a wrapper to all systemwide functions requiring the sudo scripts.  
+<br/>
+
 ### July 20, 2026  
 Introduced IP-interface-based killswitch support for systemwide wireguard, on enable only.  This version is stable and working for enable only, with a "test" script in the fileslot. And fixed GUI's object save creation. Additionally rolled back Connection data models to previous non-enum version.

+Purpose:
+    Wraps one function with another
+
+Steps:
+    1) Takes the original function it's wrapping around, and does it
+    2) Passes that into the second function `wrapper_fn`
+    3) Returns the resulting object type
+
+Assumes:
+    Same object/type for both functions.
