PromptBranch v0.5.0

PromptBranch 0.5.0 adds Quick access: an optional global prompt palette for finding,
previewing, filling, and copying saved prompts while another app is in front.

What's new

• Open a compact, copy-only prompt palette from anywhere while PromptBranch is running.
• Search titles, descriptions, tags, notes, and saved version content, with starred and
  recently updated prompts easy to reach.
• Fill {{variables}}, inspect the exact plain-text result, and copy only when you choose
  Copy prompt.
• Enable Quick access from Settings → Quick access. The suggested shortcut is
  ⌘⇧Space on macOS and Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux.
• Record a custom shortcut using readable keys and native modifier names. If a replacement
  conflicts with the system or another app, the previous working shortcut stays active.

Updates and reliability

• Automatic update checks now start about three seconds after launch.
• An available-update notification stays visible until you choose View update or
  Later. Choosing Later dismisses it only for the current app session.
• Improved shutdown handling and Linux shortcut identity behavior.
• Updated dependency resolutions for Hono and js-yaml to patched releases.

This is a Desktop application release. The PromptBranch CLI and MCP npm package versions are
unchanged and were not published as part of 0.5.0.
