The version check already worked for an installation running the published
image - CI freezes the version before building, so version_frozen.py ships
inside it - but "Update now" never appeared, because the webhook behind it
was installed from scripts/, a folder such an installation does not have.
And update.sh could not have served it anyway: it does git pull + rebuild.
- both installers accept being piped through bash (curl | sudo bash). They
then download what they need into /opt/mc-webui-{updater,watchdog} and
find the instance by looking for docker-compose.yml. A checkout install
keeps running its scripts from the checkout, unchanged
- updater.py picks the update path per request: git checkout -> update.sh,
bare docker-compose.yml -> the new update-image.sh (pull + recreate).
Resolved per request, so cloning the repo later flips it without a restart
- both update scripts end with MC_UPDATE_RESULT=updated|no_change, which
the webhook parses and /api/updater/status passes on. The UI used to
watch only for the version to change and then claim it timed out after
two minutes - the normal outcome right after a push, while the image for
that commit is still building. It now says so as soon as the run ends,
in a neutral state rather than a red cross
- the marker prints only when stdout is not a terminal, so mcupdate output
stays as it was
Also corrects the claim, in the README and in updater.py's own docstring,
that the webhook listens on localhost. It binds 0.0.0.0 - the container
reaches it over the Docker bridge - and sends no token, so port 5050 is
worth keeping off untrusted networks.
Verified: update-image.sh reports updated then no_change against a real
docker compose project; the standalone installer installs, runs and
uninstalls cleanly under systemd (WSL), with the app reaching it through
host.docker.internal and a triggered run coming back changed=false; the
resulting modal checked in a browser in both en and pl.

GitHub's HTTP/2 front end began answering the anonymous git-upload-pack
POST with 401 for the git 2.39 / libcurl 7.88 build that ships with
Debian 12. Git reads any 401 as a credential request, so update.sh sat
on "Username for 'https://github.com':" against a public repo, on every
server at once, with nothing changed locally.
Pull with http.version=HTTP/1.1, which GitHub still serves anonymously,
and set GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 so a genuine auth failure errors out
instead of blocking on stdin forever. Documented in troubleshooting,
README and whatsnew, including the one-off git config for installs too
old to carry the fix.

- Add scripts/update.sh with colored output and error handling
- Automates: git pull, version freeze, docker compose rebuild
- Update README with script usage and alias instructions
