AI Usage Dashboard v0.6.0

This release adds a cross-platform Low Power Mode for dashboards that stay
open for long periods, with a particular focus on Linux WebKitGTK devices.

Highlights

  • Low Power Mode: enable it from Display Settings on Windows, macOS, or
    Linux. The preference is saved as lowPowerMode and applies immediately.
  • Much lower renderer load: decorative animation, scanlines, vignette,
    radar overlays, transitions, and expensive glow composition are disabled.
  • Quieter updates: the clock updates once per minute, hidden windows pause
    renderer work, and automatic provider refreshes use a 15-minute minimum.
    Startup and manual refresh remain available.
  • Measured on Surface Linux: repeated fullscreen tests reduced the combined
    Dashboard and WebKit process-tree CPU load from about 88% to 0.2–0.5% while
    Codex, DeepSeek, and Grok continued to report live nominal data.
  • Compatibility: existing configuration files default to full effects until
    the user enables Low Power Mode; credentials and provider data are unchanged.
