- Abstract ReleaseProvider protocol for platform-agnostic version checking
- GiteaReleaseProvider implementation using stdlib urllib
- UpdateChecker service with periodic background checks and WS broadcast
- Persistent dismissible banner in Web UI when a new version is detected
- Health endpoint now returns cached update info
- Configurable via update_check_enabled and update_check_interval settings
- i18n support (EN/RU)
When no api_tokens are configured (the new default), all endpoints
are accessible without authentication. The frontend detects this
via /api/health's auth_required field and skips the login form.
- Backend: auth.py skips verification when api_tokens is empty
- Frontend: shared getAuthHeaders()/hasCredentials() helpers replace
scattered token logic across all JS modules
- Health endpoint exposes auth_required for frontend discovery
- config.example.yaml ships with tokens commented out
- CLI --show-token and startup log reflect disabled state
