v3.1 - ColdStack Rebrand + Update Check (June 2026)

  • Brand rebrand: GUI is now branded "ColdStack" (window title, login screen, version label)
  • Check for Updates button: User-initiated update check in the status bar. Makes a single GitHub API call to check for newer releases. Offline by default — no background polling, no telemetry.
  • Threaded network request: Update check runs in a background thread so the GUI stays responsive
  • EXE rename: GUI executable is now coldstack.exe
  • CLI EXE deprecated: The key_manager.exe CLI executable is no longer built or distributed. CLI remains available via script mode (python src/main.py).
  • Vault co-located with app: The vault (key_vault.encrypted) now lives in the same directory as the application, not in ~/.key_manager/.
  • Backward compatible: existing vaults work without migration
