fix: update checker — fall back to /tags when no formal Gitea Release exists (v3.3.2)
The v3.3.0 update checker only queried Gitea's /releases/latest endpoint, which requires a formal Release object (created via the Gitea web UI with optional notes + zip assets attached). A plain "git tag v3.3.x && git push --tags" from the terminal does NOT create that Release object — so the checker kept returning "No releases tagged on the Gitea repo yet" even when tags existed. wp_notes_fetch_latest_release() now falls back to the /tags?limit=1 endpoint when /releases/latest returns 404 (or any non-200). It synthesises a release-like payload from the newest tag — tag_name, html_url pointing at the tag view, tag message as the body, empty assets[] so the existing download-URL logic falls through to Gitea's source-archive URL pattern (/archive/<tag>.zip). Net effect: the "Check now" button now finds the latest version whether David creates formal Gitea Releases OR just pushes tags with "git push --tags". No workflow change required. Discovered while diagnosing why "Check now" wasn't seeing today's v3.1.0/v3.2.0/v3.3.0/v3.3.1 tags (just pushed in this session) — the tags were there, the formal Release objects were not. KNOWN LIMITATION (not a bug — flagged) The Gitea repo ranger/a-wp-notes-v3 is currently private. Anonymous API requests get a 404 (Gitea's standard behaviour for private repos). The updater code is correct but can't actually reach the API on a private repo without authentication. Fix: change the repo visibility to public on Gitea — appropriate anyway for a GPL-licensed plugin headed for the WordPress.org marketplace. VERSION BUMP - wp-notes.php header 3.3.1 → 3.3.2 - WP_NOTES_VERSION constant 3.3.1 → 3.3.2 - About page version-history leads with v3.3.2; v3.3.1 demoted Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Update checker now falls back to Gitea's <code>/tags</code> endpoint when no formal Release object exists for the latest tag. Means a plain <code>git tag && git push --tags</code> is enough to make the “Check now” button report a new version — no need to manually create a Release in the Gitea web UI.

Dropped the <code>WP</code> prefix — the plugin is now just <strong>Logbook</strong>. Cleaner name, also clears a potential WordPress.org trademark-policy hurdle if/when the plugin ever lands on the marketplace.
