#1 BOM: PowerShell Set-Content -Encoding UTF8 writes a BOM that made the in-app
json.loads silently fail (banner never showed even with an update available).
- update_service: decode manifest with utf-8-sig (HTTP + local)
- build.ps1: write manifest.json without BOM (UTF8Encoding $false)
- tests: +2 covering BOM manifests (HTTP + local)
#2 docs: docs/10 §16 status synced to the implemented app/app.old/version.txt +
SHA-256 model (stages 2/3 done + e2e verified); tasks 17.18 updated.

Read manifest.json from the configured update_source and show a dismissable
banner when a newer version is available. Notify-only — no install yet.
- services/update_service.py: version compare + check_for_update (pure, tested)
- config: add update_source key (empty = no check)
- main_window: top banner, background-thread check; open folder via os.startfile
(QDesktopServices.openUrl mishandles file:// folder URLs — ShellExecute err 2)
- tests: +15 covering version compare and check_for_update branches
- docs 02/05/10 + tasks 17.16
