power-off fix as a new default sub-option (see feature versions below), so a
normal run adds it.
## Update notifications
The **Update notifications** option (new in 2.5.0, ticked by default)
installs `patches/steamify-notifier.py` as
`~/.local/share/cachyos-gamescope-boot/steamify-notifier` with two user
units in `~/.config/systemd/user`: `steamify-update-check.timer` (daily,
`Persistent=`) and `steamify-update-check.service` (also wanted by
`plasma-workspace.target`, so it checks a minute after each desktop login).
Nothing stays running while there's no update.
Every Steamify run records its version as `seen` (`notify.state`). The check
asks GitHub for the newest release; when it's newer than `seen` and not the
`skipped` version, it shows a notification (`notify-send` with the buttons
**Open Steamify** and **Skip this version**) and a tray icon (click: open;
menu: open, skip, remind me later). Closing the notification keeps the
icon; opening Steamify in any way records the new version and ends it. It
only runs on the Plasma desktop: gamescope shows no notifications or tray,
so an update found in gaming mode waits for the next desktop login. It never
installs anything: the shortcut always starts the newest release, which then
shows what's new or updated for this install.
