From 1407eaf0cb9af2c8518b0b888445ba3d946f6ed5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo310 Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 20:05:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs(privacy): disclose the daily update check s2b-dev/smart-second-brain#534 adds a once-a-day request to GitHub for the plugin's version number. List it under "What leaves your machine" and explain what it sends, when it skips itself, and where to turn it off.
