v0.4.4

🔔 DKNCloud-HASS v0.4.4

✅ Stable patch release for the 0.4.x line.
Focus: offline/online persistent notifications done right — no coordinator-listener crashes, safe i18n formatting, correct persistent_notification usage, race-free timer handling during connectivity flapping, and no credential leakage — backed by regression tests.

---

🚀 Highlights (since 0.4.3)

• 🛡️ No more crashes in the coordinator listener

  • Offline/online notification logic is now safe to run from the coordinator update listener without crashing Home Assistant.

• 🌍 Safe notification formatting for translations

  • Missing placeholders in translated strings no longer crash notification formatting — strings are resilient by design.

• 🔔 Correct Home Assistant persistent_notification usage

  • Uses the persistent_notification API properly and declares it as a manifest dependency, ensuring consistent behavior.

• 🔁 Race-free timer cancellation during connectivity flapping

  • Cancels stale scheduled dismissals for the online banner to prevent debounced timers from racing when connectivity changes rapidly.

• 🔐 Safer logs

  • Avoids leaking credentials through event error chains/logging.

• 🧪 Regression tests included

  • Adds targeted tests for formatting, debounce behavior, and timer cancellation so this doesn’t regress.
