What's New

Removes external credential refresh daemon and adds dynamic model discovery

Breaking Changes

Removal of the `creds-refresh` command and its associated systemd unit
Credential refresh functionality removed; use `claude setup-token` instead
Model list behavior changes to rely on CLI probe (fallback exists but configuration may need adjustment)

New Features

Dynamic model and reasoning-effort lists fetched from installed CLI via `codex debug models`
Web UI `--push` notifications restored with a Notifications switch
SSH authentication failure hold duration reduced to 2 minutes before retry
Native PDF kernel reuses render sessions and text snapshots for better performance
Dependency upgraded from `docvortex` 0.4.x to 0.5.2

Improvements

Model probe can be disabled via configuration to prevent external calls
A `[claude] default_model` missing from the list is now prefilled with a warning instead of dropped
Native span content consumption avoids character-level regrouping

Bug Fixes

SSH authentication failure hold duration reduced to 2 minutes before retry

Upgrade Notes

Remove the `creds-refresh` systemd service and use `claude setup-token` for logins. Update model list configuration if you rely on external sources, as behavior has changed to use CLI probe.
