+## [1.1.3] - 2026-05-17
+### Changed
+- Update check no longer interrupts startup with an interactive prompt. If a newer release is available, the header line now shows a quiet `update available (vX.Y.Z)` hint right-aligned in dim grey — no key press required.
+### Fixed
+- Bumped `__version__` from `1.1.1` to `1.1.3` after the v1.1.2 release packaged a binary that still self-reported as v1.1.1 (the source constant was not bumped before tagging). The source is now once again the single source of truth.

 - Dropped the `made by engelgardt` line from the startup banner too — author credit lives in the README only.
