P5a of docs/plans/paid-model-price-tracking.md: one surface that answers "what
got cheaper / became free", without a permanent button (the grid filter was
dropped by owner decision, so the panel carries the actions itself).
- price_alert_since records when an alert started, so the panel can say
"dropped 3 d ago" and count what is new since the user last looked; it is set
on the first sight of an already-cheap version, preserved while the alert
stands, and cleared when the price rises back above the threshold
- get_price_alerts() compares the threshold at read time (editing it takes
effect immediately, no refresh needed) and returns both kinds in one list;
model_type=None covers every type, which the shared update DB makes a single
query. "became free" needs no price data, so it is reported even while price
tracking is off
- GET /api/lm/price-alerts, registered once in MiscRoutes rather than per model
type, decorating rows best-effort with the local model name and file path from
the scanner indexes (a cold cache just omits them)
- a third tab in the notification bell: segments for under-threshold and
became-free, the three states (tracking off / nothing matching / stale), and
per-row actions (CivitAI always, Open when the model is local)
- two non-permanent entry points share one helper: the controls-bar updates
dropdown and the global context menu, whose label carries the unread count
- unread state stays client-side (localStorage watermark); the count is fetched
once on init and only when price tracking is enabled
- the per-type frontend client method is removed as dead code; the per-type
backend route stays for the companion extension
- Add POST /api/lm/switch-channel endpoint with git init / ZIP fallback
- Add _backup_git/_restore_git helpers with safe rollback
- Version-info endpoint now returns has_git flag for auto-detection
- Check-updates always returns releases (changelog) regardless of channel
- Nightly mode shows 'N commits behind main' with commit hash and date
- View on GitHub link points to /commits/main in nightly mode
- Channel toggle UI with pill-style buttons in update modal
- Confirmation dialog with Esc / backdrop-dismiss support
- Channel derived from has_git on every page load, no localStorage
