+## [1.0.3] - 2026-05-17
+### Changed
+- Update check no longer interrupts startup with an interactive prompt. If a newer release is available, a quiet right-aligned `update available (vX.Y.Z)` hint is printed in dim grey directly under the banner — no key press required.
+
 ## [1.0.2] - 2026-05-17
 ### Fixed
 - Suppress `netsh` output to avoid mojibake on non-UTF-8 consoles (Russian Windows printed `╤Г╨╢╨╡ ╨▓╨║╨╗╤О╤З╨╡╨╜╨╛...` because netsh emits in the OEM code page). Our own English status lines remain; the post-change `Get-NetIPAddress` block already prints Unicode.

 - Auto-update check on startup: polls GitHub `/releases/latest` with a 3-second timeout and offers to open the download page if a newer version exists. Silent on offline / API errors.
