OpenTrApp v0.3.0 — Delightful Sloth

OpenTrApp grew up — every screen is now a real surface, not a placeholder.

v0.3.0 is the first build I'm comfortable putting in front of someone non-technical. v0.2.0 was the hardened-but-clunky release; this one is the same security model, presented in a way Karen can actually navigate.

What changed since v0.2.0

• Home is real — 7-state hero card, backend status aggregator, proactive alerts banner, daily use-case tip.
• Discover is real — 19-entry use-case gallery with one-click Telegram deep-links.
• Preferences is real — keys (with auto-restart on rotation), notifications (with OS permission gate), startup (actually wired through), re-run setup, advanced mode.
• Lifecycle ownership — app start ⇒ perimeter up; graceful exit ⇒ perimeter down; SIGKILL reaped on next launch. New paused_by_user state with cross-restart durability.
• No spending dashboard — Anthropic Console already does this better than we ever could. The Spending tile is now a clean deep-link.

Known limitations carried into Pass 9 (post-launch polish)

1. ErrorBoundary still shows raw error.message (friendlier copy queued).
2. macOS / Windows install copy still says "Podman Desktop" (rename queued).
3. Help page is a friendlier placeholder (diagnostic-bundle button + FAQ queued).
4. Security Monitor is a friendlier placeholder (real content from vault-proxy logs queued).
