What's new in this release / Was ist neu in diesem Release

Škoda official API is now an active live data source. If you have connected Škoda's
official public API (with an API key), it is now read on every regular update — not only
as an emergency failover when your main channel goes down. Its manufacturer-grade
readings (odometer, battery/fuel, range, lock and opening status, climate, charging and
the GPS parking position) are merged straight into your existing sensors as an
authoritative live source, so the values you already have simply get fresher and
steadier — there are no new entities to adopt. It still doubles as the failover on a hard
outage, and it stays inside Škoda's 20-requests-per-hour budget: the read self-skips once
the quota is spent, so normal poll intervals (5–10 min) never breach it. Existing values
are never overwritten by a blank — the official read only ever fills or refreshes a real
reading, and "last seen" is never moved backwards. The connectivity sensor now reports
the official channel as "active" (with its live reading count) while it is contributing,
instead of always "standby (failover)" (#1286).

Škoda official API: key created with a plain name. Automatic enrolment now names the
API key simply "Home Assistant" (previously "Home Assistant (vag_connect)"), matching the
format the Škoda app itself uses — ruling the key name out as a factor in the enrolment
rejection some accounts still see (#1286).
