What changed

• A city map on the standby screen. When the panel rests, Hauser can place a subtle street map of your surroundings behind the clock and notes. The place comes from Home Assistant, from the device's own location, from a place search ("Dortmund, Germany") or from coordinates you type. The map is rendered once on the server; light and dark share one file, and Deep Night shows no map at all. Setup offers it as an opt-out with an example picture.
• Place search instead of coordinates. Type a town and pick it from a list. The search runs on the server against OpenStreetMap's geocoder; what leaves the server is a search term, never a stored address.
• The app starts noticeably faster. With a validated configuration already known, the real interface is mounted directly instead of a placeholder that is torn down moments later. Independent startup requests now run in parallel.
• Room pictures on phones are about a fifth of their previous size. A phone-sized variant is derived when an image enters the library, so a room tile shows its background in the first paint.
• The offline cache shrank from roughly 17 MB to 3.5 MB, which makes every service worker installation faster.
• A waiting update is offered, not forced. Hauser no longer reloads itself while you are looking at it. Idle wall panels still update on their own.
• Settings are easier to navigate. "Appearance" and "Layout & controls" merged into Interface & controls; Hotel Mode and guest access moved into a new Experimental group.
• Unfinished room edits survive leaving the section, and a restored draft is marked as such.

Upgrading

Room image storage gains a new on-disk format in this version. The migration runs automatically on the first start and is forward-only — downgrading to 0.6.0 after the update leaves the image library unreadable. Take a backup first if you want a way back.
