[1.4.1] - 2026-03-17

Fixed

config.ini now saves to AppData\Local\Series3Watcher\ instead of Program Files — fixes permission denied error on first-run wizard save.
Config path resolution in both series3_tray.py and series3_watcher.py updated to use sys.frozen + LOCALAPPDATA when running as a PyInstaller .exe.
Status menu item now uses a callable so it updates every time the menu opens — was showing stale "Starting..." while tooltip correctly showed current status.
Settings dialog now opens in its own thread — fixes unresponsive tabs and text fields while the watcher loop is running.
Tray icon reverted to plain colored dot — custom icon graphic was unreadable at 16px tray size. .ico file is still used for the .exe file icon.

Changed

Terra-View URL field in settings wizard now accepts base URL only (e.g. http://192.168.x.x:8000) — /api/series3/heartbeat endpoint appended automatically.
Test Connection button now hits /health endpoint instead of posting a fake heartbeat — no database side effects.
"terra-view URL" label capitalized to "Terra-View URL".
Default log path updated to AppData\Local\Series3Watcher\agent_logs\series3_watcher.log.
Installer now creates agent_logs\ folder on install.
BUILDING.md added — step-by-step guide for building, releasing, and updating.

[1.4.0] - 2026-03-12

Added

series3_tray.py — system tray launcher using pystray + Pillow. Color-coded icon (green=OK, amber=Pending, red=Missing, purple=Error, grey=Starting). Right-click menu shows live status, unit count, last scan age, Open Log Folder, and Exit.
run_watcher(state, stop_event) in series3_watcher.py for background thread use by the tray. Shared state dict updated on every scan cycle with status, unit list, last scan time, and last error.
Interruptible sleep in watcher loop — tray exit is immediate, no waiting out the full scan interval.

Changed

main() now calls run_watcher() — standalone behavior unchanged.
requirements.txt updated to document tray dependencies (pystray, Pillow); watcher itself remains stdlib-only.
