Add lightweight update check against GitHub releases#19
Merged
Conversation
On startup APC calls the GitHub releases API from the main process (renderer CSP blocks direct network), compares the latest tag to the running version with a simple semver check, and shows a dismissible neon banner if a newer release exists. Clicking DOWNLOAD opens the release page in the default browser via shell.openExternal (URL is validated to github.com before opening). Network failures are swallowed silently so offline users see no change. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Jn3iu5gKmBRf1fKqUygJoY
