Personal note from the creator shown as the first page in the 3.0
upgrade modal. Includes community links (Discord, Ko-fi) and a
special shout-out to jubnl. Modal UX improved: users must click
through all pages before dismissing, wider layout, enhanced
markdown rendering with styled links, signature, and HR separator.
i18n coverage across all 15 languages.
Server-side notice registry with per-user condition evaluation (firstLogin,
existingUserBeforeVersion, addonEnabled, dateWindow, role, custom).
Notices are sorted by priority then severity, filtered against dismissals
stored in a new user_notice_dismissals table, and served via
GET /api/system-notices/active + POST /api/system-notices/:id/dismiss.
Client renders notices through a host component that partitions by
display type (modal / banner / toast). The modal renderer supports
multi-page pagination with directional slide transitions, keyboard
navigation, and correct dismiss-all semantics on CTA / X / ESC.
Dismissals are optimistic with a single background retry.
Includes 3.0.0 upgrade notices (v3-photos, v3-journey, v3-features),
onboarding welcome modal, and full i18n coverage across 15 languages.
The /journey route is addon-gated on both client and server.
Also includes: unit + integration test suites, registry integrity test
that validates action CTA IDs against client source, and technical
documentation in docs/system-notices.md.
