- Version check now fetches package.json from main branch instead of GitHub Releases API (releases will stop being published) - Update modal shows "git pull && npm run dist" command with copy-to- clipboard instead of linking to releases page - PR workflow simplified: removed packaging, artifact uploads, and Fedora build job — keeps tests, build, and bundle guardrail - Cleaned up preload bridge types and App.tsx state (removed downloadUrl, releaseUrl, releaseNotes from update check response) - Updated tests and CONTRIBUTING.md to match Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
