New Feature: Automatic Update Check: The application now checks for new releases automatically on startup. If an update is available, you will be notified with a prompt asking whether you would like to update to the latest version. Manual update checking remains available and works as before.
Fixed a Windows elevation workflow issue where users were repeatedly prompted by UAC whenever a workflow reached another privileged step. Windows now starts a persistent elevated ebm-cli helper session and reuses it for subsequent privileged operations, matching the existing Linux behavior. This also fixes the manual elevated-mode startup failure caused by local socket access permissions and improves elevated helper reachability and shutdown handling.
