Floating update toast + manual check in Settings > About#14
Merged
Conversation
Add a manual checkNow() control with a dedicated checking phase, always resolve the current app version via getVersion() (not only when an update exists), and expose lastCheckedAt for the About panel. Background check failures now stay silent to keep the app usable; only a user-initiated check surfaces errors. Guard against overlapping checks and fix a cleanup path where the initial-check timeout was never cleared on unmount.
Replace the sticky top banner with a compact, square floating toast anchored bottom-right, showing update availability, a live download progress bar, and install/dismiss actions. Add a Settings > About section as the manual entry point: app name, current version, a Check for updates button with inline status (checking, up to date, available, error), and a link to release notes on GitHub.
