v0.16.0

A new spectator scoreboard plus a large batch of reliability fixes from a deep review of the whole codebase.

New: spectator scoreboard

Some venues use PlayOverlay to show the score directly to spectators on a big screen. The new Scoreboard screen fills the whole display with no key colour visible: both teams in their club colours with logos and scores, a labelled TIME clock showing the time of day (24-hour or AM/PM, configurable under Window Settings), and a labelled MATCH clock. It scales to any resolution and is designed for 16:9 but flexes to other shapes.

Tip for scoreboard-only venues: turn off "Auto switch screens" so starting a half does not switch the display to the score bug.

Reliability fixes

• Upgrading from 0.14 with an old encrypted config no longer crash-loops the app; the unreadable config is set aside and the app starts cleanly.
• The match clock now survives laptop sleep and system clock corrections without leaping or going negative.
• Keyboard shortcuts now respect the "Auto switch screens" toggle (they previously used a stale value).
• The restore-previous-match prompt can no longer roll back a live match after play has started, and no longer hides behind the update notification.
• The "Restore Saved Match Settings" dialog can now be cancelled, and restoring a save fully replaces the current settings instead of part-merging them.
• Buttons respond to normal clicks and keyboard activation, and no longer trigger on right-click.
• Typing in the timer settings can no longer stop a running clock mid-keystroke; values commit when you finish editing.
• The score bug no longer clips double-digit scores or stoppage-time chips.
• Match Title and End Screen no longer flash on screen when the display or an OBS browser source first loads.
• The OBS browser source now exchanges heartbeats, so idle connections stay healthy and dead ones reconnect within seconds.
• The display window recreates itself if closed accidentally during a stream.
• Settings storage is validated and written far less often during matches, and corrupt settings degrade gracefully instead of crashing shortcut registration.

Housekeeping

• Update checks understand pre-release tags.
• Security hardening around file deletion, URL opening, and the local browser-source server.
• Dependency and CI updates.
