About this updates page

This is the public changelog for Hey Taby, the desktop app for physical Taby and Digital Taby. It focuses on user-facing app, firmware, AI, planning, focus, device, and quality-of-life changes.

The entries are copied from the Updates view inside the app. App-only action buttons are hidden here because they open internal settings or app screens, but the release notes and visuals are the same source of truth.
