Previously, if the backend was unreachable at launch, the splash screen
routed to the login screen. The server URL remained persisted in
SharedPreferences but visually appeared lost, frustrating any user who
isn't the service operator.
- New AuthStatus.offline distinguishes network failures (NetworkException)
from HTTP 401 in AuthNotifier.verify().
- Persist has_ever_logged_in flag on first successful verify/login.
- Offline + ever-logged-in lands on the briefing with a sticky offline
banner (retry button) instead of being punted to login.
- OfflineBanner widget is Tier-2-ready so we can surface "last sync X min
ago" once real caching lands (Fable task #147).
Fetch server-side settings on app launch via new serverSettingsProvider.
Hide News from bottom sheet and NavigationRail when RSS is disabled.
Skip news card rendering in briefing messages when disabled.
Refactor tab navigation to use dynamic tabs list and route-based refresh.

The app now checks for new APK releases on a Forgejo instance and can
download and install them without leaving the app.
Settings:
- New "Update repository URL" field (e.g. https://git.example.com/user/fabled_app)
- "App version" tile with a manual "Check" button and live status display
- Download progress bar and "Install" button appear when update is found
Startup:
- Shell runs a silent background check on first load when a repo URL is set
- A dialog appears automatically if a newer release is found
Provider (update_provider.dart):
- UpdateNotifier: idle → checking → available → downloading → available
- Hits Forgejo /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/latest
- Parses semver tag, finds .apk asset, downloads with progress via Dio
- Opens the APK with open_file to trigger the system package installer
Android:
- REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission
- FileProvider configured for open_file (shares APK URI with installer)
- res/xml/file_paths.xml covers external-files and cache directories

- Collapsible search in notes and tasks: magnifying glass in AppBar
expands to a text field inline; close button resets the filter
- Offline capture queue: failed quick-captures (NetworkException) are
persisted to SharedPreferences and retried automatically on next
successful submit or app start; badge shows pending count
- App icon: book-with-sparkle logo from FabledAssistant SVG rendered
at all Android densities with adaptive icon (indigo #6366f1 bg)
- Dark mode subtitle fix: use colorScheme.onSurfaceVariant for note
preview and conversation timestamp text
- Remove swipe-to-delete (accidental deletions); long-press remains
- Chat: SSE streaming reliability, polling fallback, title patching
- Settings: theme toggle (system/light/dark) persisted to prefs
- Notes: delete button in edit screen; body preview in list
- Tasks: fix delete dialog context; description search support
