✨ Muster v0.1.4 — Update Banner & Dynamic Versions

v0.1.4 adds a silent update check on launch with an in-app banner when a
newer release exists, makes the app version fully runtime-driven (no more
hardcoded version strings anywhere), and attaches structured system info
(reported from Rust, not a user-agent string) to feedback submissions.

✨ What's New

1. Update banner — know when a new version ships

On launch, Muster silently checks GitHub for a newer release. When one exists,
a banner appears inside the app (after login, on the dashboard): "New
version v0.1.5 available — tap to view". Tapping opens the release page; the
X dismisses it for the session. No update → no banner, zero noise.

2. Version numbers are no longer hardcoded

Previously the version shown in About, the login footer, the update check and
feedback had to be bumped by hand on every release — v0.1.3 shipped with a
stale v0.1.1 baseline. Now every version string comes from the runtime
(tauri.conf.json via getVersion): the About page, login footer (4
languages), update-check baseline and feedback attachments can never drift
again. The version is maintained in exactly one place.

3. Feedback carries real structured system info

Feedback submissions now attach a structured system report obtained from Rust
(get_system_info) instead of a raw browser user-agent string:

{
  "os": "windows",
  "arch": "x86_64",
  "osVersion": "10.0.26200",
  "isAppleSilicon": false,
  "appVersion": "0.1.4"
}

On macOS it reports e.g. "os": "macos", "arch": "aarch64",
"osVersion": "15.5", "isAppleSilicon": true. No UA parsing, no fake data —
exact OS family, kernel/product version, architecture and app version.

🐛 Bug Fixes

1. About page / login footer showed a stale version ❌→✅

The About page and the login footer (all four languages) could display an old
version when a release forgot to bump the hardcoded constant. Root-caused and
eliminated: version display is now fully runtime-driven (see What's New #2).

2. Update check could report the wrong baseline ❌→✅

The update-check baseline was a hardcoded constant that drifted (v0.1.2
shipped with a v0.1.1 baseline, which would have prompted a false "update
available"). The baseline is now the actual runtime version.

3. Feedback attached a confusing browser user-agent ❌→✅

Feedback used to send a WebView user-agent string (Mozilla/5.0 … Edg/…)
that looked fake and didn't identify the app. It now sends precise structured
system info from Rust (see What's New #3).

🐛 Muster v0.1.3 — Version Display Hotfix

v0.1.3 fixes version-number inconsistencies left over from the v0.1.2 release:
the About page and the login footer still showed v0.1.1, and the update-check
baseline was stale, which would have prompted v0.1.2 users with a false
"new version available" notice.

🐛 Fixed in v0.1.3

1. About page showed the wrong version ❌→✅

The Settings → About page (and the login-page footer, in all four languages)
still displayed v0.1.1. The version baseline is now v0.1.3 everywhere:
About page, login footer (zh/en/ja/ko), update-check baseline.

2. Stale update-check baseline ❌→✅

APP_CURRENT_VERSION had not been bumped for the multi-platform release, so
installed v0.1.2 users would always see a false "update available" prompt.
The baseline is now v0.1.3 and matches the installer versions.

3. README installer names synchronized ❌→✅

The English/中文/日本語/한국어 READMEs now reference the current installer
names (Muster_0.1.3_*) for Windows and both macOS variants.
