Retire the dotted "N.O.M.A.D." styling everywhere in favor of
"Project NOMAD" (no periods) ahead of the trademark filing, and
remove the "Node for Offline Media, Archives, and Data" backronym
from all copy except a single origin-story line in the About page
(corrected to "Maps" rather than "Media").
Scope is display strings only: docs, admin UI labels/titles, install
script output, Dockerfile labels, package.json description, and issue
templates. Code identifiers, container/service names, env vars, CSS
tokens, URLs, and the project-nomad slug are unchanged.

Bring the GitHub-facing README in line with the v1.33 feature set:
- Add Supply Depot (one-click app catalog + bring-your-own custom
Docker containers) and Automatic Updates to the "Built-in
capabilities" list and the "What's Included" table.
- Fix the Offline Maps row, which claimed "navigation" — NOMAD maps
are download/view only, with no routing. Reword to "offline viewing
and search."

Adds a self-update path for the NOMAD admin/core image that runs without a
human in the loop, gated by layered safety checks. Recreation remains the
sidecar's job; this only decides *whether* to update now and requests it.
An hourly job (AutoUpdateJob) evaluates a side-effect-free decision pipeline
(AutoUpdateService.evaluate):
- opt-in: disabled by default
- in a user-configured local-time window (handles midnight wrap)
- an eligible release: same major (major bumps stay manual), strictly newer,
past a configurable cool-off, GA only (no drafts/prereleases), strict semver
- pre-flight: sidecar present, no in-flight system update / downloads / app
installs, and sufficient host disk (estimated from the registry manifest)
When all pass, it drives SystemUpdateService.requestUpdate() with a vetted tag.
Failure backoff auto-disables after 3 genuine update-request failures; transient
release-lookup errors are skips (offline-first appliances are routinely without
connectivity). Re-enabling clears the backoff state.
Settings UI exposes the toggle, window, and cool-off, with live status (eligible
target, in/out of window, last result/error). A `node ace auto-update:dry-run`
command exercises the full pipeline — and a deterministic --scenarios suite the
pure decision logic — without ever triggering an update.
New KVStore keys under autoUpdate.* hold config + last-run state.
Correct package metadata and documentation accuracy:
- Set license to Apache-2.0 in package.json, admin/package.json and both
lockfiles (project has been Apache-2.0 since #197; metadata still said ISC)
- Replace the placeholder root package.json description with a real one
- Remove the dead README "Troubleshooting Guide" link (TROUBLESHOOTING.md
does not exist; FAQ.md already has its own entry)
- Fix README typos: "harware", "LLM's", "of of", "uses cases"
Carries forward the worthwhile fixes from #849 by @aqilaziz, minus the
version bump that conflicted with the current release line.

The /install/wsl2 community-supported install guide is now live on
projectnomad.us. Update the README install section and FAQ to point
Windows users at it instead of deflecting WSL2 questions to "see the
Debian-only answer."
Doesn't change the official-support stance — bare-metal Debian-based
Linux remains the supported configuration. Just removes the dead-end
deflection so Windows users have a real path forward.

Introduces a dedicated page listing third-party ZIM content packs built
by the community. Launches with the two current add-ons (jrsphoto field
manuals, kennethbrewer W3Schools) and explains how to install a ZIM pack
and where to submit a new one for inclusion.
- New doc at admin/docs/community-add-ons.md
- Wired into DocsService DOC_ORDER (slot 4) and TITLE_OVERRIDES so the
hyphen in "Add-Ons" is preserved in the sidebar
- README gets a link under Community & Resources

Updated hardware guide price references from $200–$800+ to $150–$1,000+
based on community leaderboard data (41 submissions) and current market
pricing. DDR5 RAM and GPU prices are significantly inflated — budget DDR4
refurbs start at $150, recommended AMD APU builds run $500–$800, and
dedicated GPU builds start at $1,000+. Also noted AMD Ryzen 7 with
Radeon graphics as the community sweet spot in the FAQ.

The install script has interactive prompts (install confirmation and
license acceptance) that require stdin. Piping via `curl | bash`
consumes stdin, causing `read -p` to receive no input and exit with
"Invalid Response."

Expand the "How It Works" section with a proper capability overview,
add a "What's Included" table, fix the stop script referencing
start_nomad.sh, and add AMD GPU support to optimal specs.
