#19 removed the self-update mechanism wholesale (#46). One piece of it is worth re-adding someday in a safe form: a GUI-side check that a newer release exists.

What a safe version looks like:

  • GUI process only — the root service is never involved
  • Checks this repo's Forgejo releases API (/api/v1/repos/mysticalsoap/aqomui/releases/latest), not a third-party host
  • Opt-in setting, off by default (no phoning home unprompted)
  • On a newer version: a notification saying to update through the package manager — no download, no install, no button that mutates the system

Not a 0.9.0 item; pacman/AUR users get update visibility from their package manager anyway. Mostly relevant if/when Debian packages exist (#44), where a repo-less .deb install has no update channel telling the user anything.
