davide b292590cdc docs: add docs-as-code process and one ADR per feature

docs/docs-as-code.md defines the workflow; docs/adr holds 31 ADRs
(retroactive, reconstructed from code and changelog) with a template and
index. docs/check-docs.sh validates ADR structure, index, cited code
paths, relative links and CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md sync.

0023. Best-effort update check against GitHub releases

Status: Accepted
Area: Distribution
Recorded: 2026-11-03 (retroactive: reconstructed from code, comments and changelog)

Context

Android builds are signed sideloads and desktop builds are single-file executables, so there is no store to notify users of fixes.

Decision

UpdateChecker.CheckAsync compares the running version (single source: <Version> in the App csproj) with the latest GitHub release tag at startup. Any network or parse failure, or an up-to-date app, resolves to null; the UI prompts only when a newer release exists. The HTTP handler is injectable so tests never reach GitHub.

Consequences

Users learn about security fixes promptly; no telemetry is sent beyond the release API request.
The check leaks to GitHub that a wallet started; this is not covered by a Tor/proxy option.
The repository URL is hardcoded in the source and must be kept in sync if the project moves.
