v1.1.0

wtch v1.1.0

New features

• Script security opt-in: script execution is now disabled by default. Only HTTP and adapter watches run out of the box. Enable allow_scripts in Settings > Config to run script watches. A warning is displayed when enabled, reminding users they are responsible for the commands they configure.
• Hidden console windows on Windows: cmd, PowerShell, and WSL processes no longer flash a console window during script execution.

Improvements

• Settings persistence: disk is now written before updating in-memory state, preventing desync on write failures
• Blocked scripts show a clear "Scripts disabled" error in the UI instead of a blank unknown status
• Conventional commits lint in CI (skips merge commits)
• Add SECURITY.md
• Dependabot update interval changed to quarterly
