+ccache is persisted between builds using `actions/cache`. Cache keys use a date suffix so entries rotate daily (one save per day per branch). Saves are skipped when the exact key already exists, preventing duplicate entries that fill runner storage.

forbes	35302154ae	feat: expose version to Python and add update checker (#28 , #29 ) All checks were successful Build and Test / build (pull_request) Successful in 1h11m28s Details Issue #28: Add version.py.in CMake template that injects KINDRED_CREATE_VERSION at build time, making the Kindred Create version available to Python code via 'from version import VERSION'. Issue #29: Add update_checker.py that queries the Gitea releases API on startup (10s deferred) to check for newer versions. Uses stdlib urllib only, 5s timeout, never blocks the UI. Respects user preferences for check interval, enable/disable, and skipped versions. Logs results to Console for now — UI notification will follow in issue #30.
