Homer 2420091a4e Check for SageTube updates, not YTSage's
The update check asked PyPI for the `ytsage` package's version, asked GitHub
for oop7/YTSage's release notes, and pointed the download button at upstream's
releases. None of that describes this program. Being reminded to install
YTSage was the visible symptom; the cause was that the check had never been
repointed when the fork was made.

It now reads SageTube's own releases from git.houmeres.sk. Gitea's release API
is shaped like GitHub's, so the dialog and the caller are unchanged -- the
class keeps its name and signal signature, and only its body moved out to
core/ytsage_app_update.py, which is fork-owned and will not conflict on the
next merge from upstream.

Upstream's inherited tags end in `b` (v5.3.0b and earlier). packaging reads
that as a beta marker, so they sort below v5.4.0 and a stable instance cannot
be handed one. Tag parsing is defensive anyway: one unparseable tag must not
take the whole check down with it.

Also: the check is rate-limited to once a day rather than every start, the
dialog gained a "Skip this version" that survives a restart, the thread is now
joined on close, and the About dialog says SageTube. The three binary updaters
-- yt-dlp, Deno, ffmpeg -- legitimately track their own upstreams and are
deliberately untouched; ytsage_app_update's docstring says so, because "update"
is an overloaded word in this codebase.

# Changelog
Kept as the work happens, not assembled at release time. Format is
[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/); versions follow
[SemVer](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
**The `vX.Y.Z` tags already on this repository are upstream YTSage's**, inherited
with its history. SageTube's own versions start below and are the ones this file
records.
## Unreleased
### Changed
- **The update check now looks at SageTube's own releases.** It queried PyPI's
`ytsage` package for the version and `oop7/YTSage` for the changelog, then
linked to upstream's downloads — a different program's release stream. It now
reads `git.houmeres.sk/Houmeres/SageTube` releases, anonymously, and the
"Download update" button opens this repository's release page.
- The beta channel follows SageTube pre-releases. Upstream's inherited `b` tags
(`v5.3.0b` and earlier) read as pre-releases, so a stable instance cannot be
offered one.
- The check now runs at most once a day rather than on every start.
- The About dialog and the update settings say SageTube rather than YTSage. The
"Based on YTSage by oop7" attribution link stays — it is the MIT credit.
### Added
- **Skip this version** in the update dialog. The skipped version is never
offered again; later ones still are.
### Fixed
- **The app no longer offers upstream YTSage's releases as its own updates.**
`__version__` and `pyproject.toml` had been left at the scaffolded `0.1.0`
while the released tag was `v5.4.0`, so every comparison against upstream's
published version reported an update. Both now read `5.4.0`, the single
source of truth for the window title, the About dialog and the update check.
- `ConfigManager` merged a stored config over the defaults **shallowly**, so a
file written by an older build replaced whole nested objects: a stored
`"player"` or `"feed"` containing only some keys silently discarded every
default added since. The merge is now recursive. Keys present only in the
stored file are preserved, so downgrading cannot destroy settings.
- Opening *Custom Options* and clicking OK re-enabled the update checker, because
the settings tab read a missing `check_app_updates` as enabled and then
persisted that reading unconditionally.
### Changed
- Configs now carry `config_version`. A file written before 5.4.0 — including one
inherited from an upstream YTSage install — has its stored `check_app_updates`
cleared once, so SageTube's own default applies rather than a setting that
pointed at another project's releases.
## 5.4.0 — 2026-08-08
### Changed
- The documentation left the repository: `docs/BUILDING.md`, `docs/UPSTREAM.md`
and `docs/UPSTREAM_README.md` are now the
[wiki](https://git.houmeres.sk/Houmeres/SageTube/wiki).
- **The history was deliberately not rewritten.** Every other repository in this
org had its documentation removed from every commit on 2026-08-08. SageTube is
a fork that still merges from `oop7/YTSage`, and a rewrite changes every commit
id — which would end that. The files leave in an ordinary commit instead.
- `.github/` and `readme-translations/` are upstream's and were left alone, so
the next merge does not conflict over them.
