v0.1.9
What's new
Smarter auto-update: no surprise downloads
The app no longer silently downloads new versions in the background. Updates are now fully user-controlled:
- When a new version is found, a light-blue update icon with a badge appears in the top bar — click it to start the download
- A progress ring shows while the update downloads
- Once downloaded, a "Restart" pill appears next to the update icon — click it to install and restart the app, so an update never interrupts a running task
- If a download fails, the update entry stays so you can simply click again to retry
Update UI polish
- Update indicators (icon, badge, progress ring, restart pill) now use a light-blue accent instead of purple
