Pull request overview

Adds a VS Code–style “What’s New” experience in the renderer, backed by remotely fetched markdown release notes and a configurable updates origin that’s injected into both runtime env (process.env.*) and the renderer CSP at build time.

Changes:

Add a shared markdown rendering utility that escapes raw HTML and wires external links.
Introduce a new “What’s New” tab/module and trigger it from both the app menu and post-auto-update restart.
Make the updates content origin configurable via PPTB_UPDATES_ORIGIN and inject it into the renderer CSP.
