F1 Sensor – v5.5.0-beta.3

⚠️ This is a beta release intended for testing.

Bug fixes

• Restore Race Control timestamps and respect Home Assistant time preferences
  The live data card now displays Race Control timestamps correctly using your Home Assistant time zone preference. Times follow your selected 12-hour, 24-hour, language, or system format.

• Keep F1 Sensor settings available on older Home Assistant versions
  The F1 Sensor integration settings remain accessible on all supported Home Assistant versions, including 2024.11. This restores compatibility while preserving the settings behavior on newer versions.

• Run releases after all required checks pass
  Release drafts and documentation updates now proceed when all applicable checks pass, including runs where unrelated checks are intentionally skipped. Failed or cancelled checks still prevent release, and publishing remains a manual step.

Documentation

• Bring the search shortcut contrast correction into dev

• Correct automation trigger documentation
  The automation reference now describes the Session live trigger accurately and includes the existing Team Radio device trigger on the Drivers device.
