0.6.9 - Local discovery and notifications

Connect on the same LAN with Nearby (mDNS local discovery), pair once, and keep that connection even after you change networks. This release also adds invite notifications, background tray presence, and QR codes.

Highlights

• Local discovery (Nearby): DashBeam finds other devices on your Wi-Fi/LAN via mDNS. Confirm with a short fingerprint, then send files or pair without typing a code. Once paired, you stay connected even when you leave that network. Control who can see you under Settings → Network (Everyone / Paired only / Off).
• Notifications: Desktop and Android notify you for pair requests and file invites. Banners stay quiet while the app is in the foreground. Turn them off in Settings.
• Tray and background: Close to the tray, start at login, and see which paired devices are online from the menu bar (macOS) or system tray (Windows). Flatpak uses the desktop background portal for autostart.
• QR codes: Show a QR when sending, and open a QR for receive links, so the other device can scan instead of copying text.
• Pairing polish: Verification codes appear in pairing dialogs, unpairing recovers if a Forget notification was missed, and you’re offered start-at-login after pairing your first device.
