__version__ in lintunes/__init__.py (setup.py regex-reads it) shows
bottom-left via the new VersionButton; the tooltip carries the git short
hash so machines on the same version but different commits are
distinguishable. The new Updater fetches upstream 10s after launch and
every 4h on daemon threads (lastfm.py pattern); commits behind put a *
on the button, and clicking it confirms, runs `git pull --ff-only`,
quits cleanly (library flush + player shutdown), and re-execs
`python -m lintunes.main` on the new code. Positional file args are
stripped from the re-exec so they don't re-import as duplicates. Pull
failures surface the git error: line in the status bar and leave the
running app untouched; outside a git checkout the button is a plain
label.
Also fixes a Round-5 regression found while verifying: the totals label
was a permanent status-bar widget with stretch=1, which squeezed the
transient-message area to zero width — every showMessage (scrobbles,
tag-write errors, import status) has been invisible since. Both
readouts are now non-permanent widgets, so a transient message
temporarily replaces them and they return.

Snapshot of the existing codebase before working through the TASKS.md
backlog. Real library data (data/) and the iTunes import fixture
(itunes-test-library/) are gitignored.
