feat(app): check GitHub releases on startup and prompt for updates

Compares the running assembly version against the latest GitHub release tag on every app launch (desktop and Android) and shows an in-app overlay with the new version tag when one is available. Best-effort: network/parse failures are silent, matching the app's existing non-blocking startup checks.
