v0.6.3
Tiny footer line inside the Updates panel on Settings + matching line at the bottom of the Credits + thanks card on About. Pulled from a single RADIO_SUPPORT_URL constant so both stay in sync. Conditional render — if the constant is empty, the link is silently hidden, so forks can strip funding with one line. Design intent: muted (12px, admin-theme-coloured, subtle top divider). Reads as housekeeping not a sales pitch — no yellow BMC brand chrome. Dark-theme divider override so it stays subtle on the dark surface. Files: radio.php (version, RADIO_SUPPORT_URL constant default https://buymeacoffee.com/davidtkeane), inc/updater.php (link in Updates panel), inc/about.php (link in Credits + thanks card; rotate v0.6.3 → latest, v0.6.2 → earlier list), assets/css/radio.css (.radio-support-link + dark-theme override), CHANGELOG.md.
