feat: implement beta/stable release channels with update notifications
Add dual-channel release strategy for stable and beta releases:
Release Channels:
- Stable channel: production-ready releases (stable, latest, v2.3.0)
- Beta channel: early access features (beta, v2.3.0-beta.1)
- Configurable via PICPEAK_CHANNEL environment variable
Update Notifications:
- Admin dashboard shows available updates for configured channel
- Checks GitHub Releases API with 1-hour cache
- Can be disabled with UPDATE_CHECK_ENABLED=false
CI/CD Changes:
- New release-please-beta.yml workflow for beta prereleases
- Docker build workflow produces stable/beta tags based on branch
- Beta versions use v2.3.0-beta.1 format
New Files:
- .github/workflows/release-please-beta.yml
- release-please-config-beta.json
- .release-please-manifest-beta.json
- backend/src/services/updateCheckService.js
- frontend/src/components/admin/UpdateNotification.tsx
Modified Files:
- docker-compose.production.yml (channel selection)
- .env.example (PICPEAK_CHANNEL, UPDATE_CHECK_ENABLED)
- backend/src/routes/adminSystem.js (/updates endpoint)
- frontend components (VersionInfo, AdminDashboard)
- i18n locales (en.json, de.json)
- README.md and DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md (documentation)
