v0.2.44

Added

• The dashboard footer shows the running version and a dev upgrade hint for
  newer releases, using the existing nonblocking release cache and update toggle.
• REMOTE adds dated GitHub/GitLab stars, forks, open issue and PR/MR counts, and
  Gist stars/forks/comments. Statistics load after inventory in bounded batches;
  numeric sorting includes hidden columns, and snippets can sort by exact file
  count. Unknown, unavailable and stale observations remain distinct.

Fixed

• Keep the bundled skill entrypoint within its context budget by deferring
  dashboard and wizard details to existing help and references.
• FLEET and SSH registration no longer reject Windows Herdr hosts by OS. Herdr
  0.9.1+ handles native Windows connection compatibility and setup approvals;
  exact SSH alias/authentication guards remain. Dev-managed remote repository
  workspace preparation remains Linux/macOS-only.
• Repository new/setup wizards preserve real preflight errors instead of
  reporting cancellation. Missing trusted skill installers are reported at
  selection time with explicit skip/cancel choices that retain other settings.
