New Updater class + "Hilfe" menubar: - "Nach Update suchen": git fetch + count of new upstream commits. - Quiet background check on start; surfaces via status bar + menu label. - Install: git merge --ff-only, pip install if requirements.txt changed, then restart via os.execv. data/ is git-ignored and untouched. - Fast-forward only; diverged history or offline -> clear message, no action. - Inert unless run from a git clone with git on PATH. Also: "Version…" menu item shows the installed commit. Verified against throwaway git repos (check / ff-update / diverged / no-op / non-clone) and via GUI build on Python 3.14 / Tk 9.

DRK Blutspende – Arbeitsorte: Dokumentation
Developer/maintainer documentation for the Arbeitsorte-Logger, a small desktop app that records blood-drive work assignments (date + city + postal code) and plots them on an interactive map.
Context: built as a personal tool for a single user, running locally on a Linux Mint laptop. Ease of use for a non-technical user is the primary design constraint. There is no server, no multi-user story, and no network dependency beyond geocoding and the map tiles.
