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.
