Changelog

[v0.2.51] - 2026-03-22

Reduced background widget load for Arr apps by switching Launcharr's internal widget monitor to lightweight system-status checks for Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, and Readarr.
Added cached Arr summary metrics so Launcharr can keep useful widget counts available without repeatedly pulling full library datasets during routine monitor ticks.
Tightened local packaging hygiene so local-only development modules, temporary compose overrides, and dev notes stay out of git history and Docker build context.

Fixed public image packaging drift so local-only development content is no longer shipped accidentally in release builds.
Improved widget responsiveness for Arr-backed services with larger libraries by avoiding unnecessary full-library fetches in the internal monitor path.

No schema migration required.
Existing installs should hard refresh browser assets after upgrade so the updated widget runtime is loaded.
Operators using Launcharr with large Arr libraries should see lower background widget polling impact after upgrade.

Internal widget monitoring for Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, and Readarr succeeds when each app is reachable.
Arr widgets still show summary metrics after normal dashboard use populates the cache.
Release builds do not include local-only development module content.
Browser assets hard refresh cleanly after upgrade.
