Detailed Description

Asynchronously queries the site's release data and emits a signal when a newer version is available.

Call checkForUpdates() once after the main window is shown. The check is skipped if one was already performed today. If the fetched release version is newer than the running application and has not been suppressed by the user, updateAvailable is emitted.

Note: Polls the wiRedPanda site's published latest-release.json rather than the GitHub Releases API directly, so the per-user daily check never counts against GitHub's per-IP API rate limit; that file is itself kept fresh by a CI job that queries the API once per release, not once per user.
