What's new

Threadnote 4.7.4 keeps an open Manager page from exhausting GitHub release checks and uses your existing GitHub sign-in when checking for updates.

Manager checks stay local

Manager now checks its local health endpoint every three seconds. It refreshes release information when you open the page or press Refresh, without repeatedly requesting GitHub releases while the page stays open.

Update checks use your GitHub identity

Official update and release-note checks use GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, or your active github.com login in gh when available. This gives signed-in machines a larger GitHub API allowance. On a machine without a GitHub identity, checks still use GitHub's public allowance. If GitHub returns a rate-limit error, run gh auth status --hostname github.com on the affected machine and see the troubleshooting guide for recovery steps.
