…sums Write OAuth token cache with mode 0600 on Unix so the refresh token is not world-readable on shared systems. Verify the SHA-256 sidecar published alongside each GitHub release asset before calling status.update(), so a compromised release is rejected before the binary is replaced.

This pull request introduces important security enhancements to the update and authentication flows, along with a new miniplayer feature and dependency updates. The most significant changes are the addition of SHA-256 checksum verification for self-updates, improved file permissions for the OAuth token cache, and the new miniplayer view. These changes increase user safety and add new functionality.
Security improvements:
spotatui update --installflows now download and verify the SHA-256 checksum sidecar for each release asset before replacing the binary, rejecting compromised assets before installation (src/cli/update.rs,Cargo.toml,CHANGELOG.md).0600(owner read/write only) on Unix, preventing other local users from reading the Spotify refresh token (src/core/auth.rs,CHANGELOG.md).Dependency updates:
sha2andhexas dependencies for checksum verification and enabled theblockingfeature forreqwestto support synchronous HTTP requests during update verification (Cargo.toml).These changes significantly strengthen the security of the update process and the handling of sensitive authentication data.
