• bbac11d ci: switch PyPI publish to Trusted Publisher (OIDC) — no token secret needed
• 353c46c ci: add automated release workflow + make_release.py helper
• 623f009 docs: update README for 1.1.x — hold-to-record F2, notification flags, status

NeveWare-Pulse v1.1.5

What's new in 1.1.x

Notification flags

• Voice flag — pressing F2 to record now sets a flag in .state.json. The next heartbeat prompt prepends a notice so the DI knows a voice message is waiting. Clears automatically after the prompt fires (one-shot).
• Email flag — when the email watcher detects a new message, a flag persists in every heartbeat prompt until Gmail marks the message as read. Multiple accounts tracked individually.

Hold-to-record F2

• F2 now records for as long as you hold the key (up to 30 seconds), instead of a fixed 8-second clip.
• A live popup shows elapsed and remaining time while recording.
• Releasing F2 immediately stops recording and triggers transcription. No countdown delay before it starts.

Emoji picker fix

• Fixed an intermittent bug where clicking an emoji appeared to do nothing. Root cause: a Windows FocusOut race — clicking an emoji button briefly stole focus from the root window, destroying it before the button command could register the selection.
• Fixed with unbind("<FocusOut>") at the start of pick() and a 50ms deferred destroy.
• Increased focus-restore delay in _inject_emoji to 350ms for reliable paste into the previous window.

About window

• The Check for Updates button now shows animated dots (Checking. / Checking.. / Checking...) while the check runs, so it's clear it's working and not frozen.
• git pull timeout reduced from 30s to 15s.

Installer (install.py)

• No more indefinite hang on Python 3.14. Uses importlib.util.find_spec() to skip pip for packages already installed — instant, no subprocess, no network call.
• pip-to-import name map for packages where they differ (Pillow → PIL, pywin32 → win32api, etc.).
• 120s timeout + graceful warn-and-continue if pip does need to run and hangs.

Build / packaging

• pyproject.toml version now reads dynamically from the VERSION file — always in sync.
• Added Python 3.13 and 3.14 classifiers.
• Removed tracked __pycache__ .pyc files from the repo index (already gitignored).
