Real loopback TCP socket speaking newline-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0, optionally
TLS with a self-signed certificate, with per-method handlers and call
counters. Lets ElectrumClient, WalletSynchronizer, TransactionInspector, and
CertificatePinStore be exercised against the same code paths used in
production instead of being mocked.
Also exposes UpdateChecker's tag-parsing logic internally so its version
comparison can be tested without a real GitHub API call.
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.
