#2 [Roadmap] In-app auto-update channel (opt-in, no telemetry)

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: phantasmat2018

Status: Planned.

Currently users must manually re-download and reinstall to get updates. An opt-in auto-update channel would:

• Periodically check GitHub Releases API for newer versions (/repos/phantasmat2018/capy-bro/releases/latest)
• Show a non-intrusive toast when an update is available
• Open the download page on click — don't auto-install, keep the user in control

Constraints

• Opt-in by default — no silent check-ins for users who don't want it
• No telemetry — only a GET to GitHub Releases API, no analytics
• Respect proxy settings via HttpClient defaults
• Toggle in Settings → System area

Implementation sketch

• New Services/UpdateChecker.cs with IUpdateChecker interface
• Fire on app startup + every 7 days via System.Threading.Timer
• Compare AppInfo.Version (SemVer) to latest release tag
• Surface via INotificationService.ShowInfo with action link

Acceptance

• [ ] Setting checkbox "Check for updates" in Settings -> System (default off)
• [ ] Toast appears when newer version detected
• [ ] Click opens capybro.app or GitHub release page
• [ ] No telemetry, no auto-install
