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

Climate target temperature now shows for portal-read cars (Vehicle Data Scout, #1624 and many more reports).
The modern MEB EU Data Act export carries the set cabin temperature under its climatisation-settings block as a raw
bus value. It now feeds the existing target-temperature sensor for cars that only have the portal read, decoded from
that bus value (multiple reporters cross-confirmed the scaling). A brand-native or app-backend reading still wins
where one is present.
The mirror-heating setting now fills for modern portal cars too (Vehicle Data Scout, #1637, thanks @pietervanhertum).
The modern MEB export carries the mirror-heating enable under its climatisation-settings block; it was the one leaf in
that block without a modern alias (the climate zones already had theirs), so it now feeds the existing mirror-heating
sensor instead of re-filing on the Scout.
Companion (ADB): optionally close the car app after each read (#1552, thanks @nekas123). A new
opt-in force-stops the car app once each poll finishes, so the next read relaunches it fresh instead
of scraping a screen the app left cached. It's for devices where the app freezes its own values
between reads; it's off by default (a cold relaunch is slower) and sits next to the existing companion
toggles in Configure. Reload after toggling.

A car removed from your account is no longer polled forever (#1628, thanks @ekirchma). The vehicle list was read
from the account only at setup and the cache was never reconciled against it, so a deleted car kept getting polled
and 404-spamming the error log. On a genuine account read, a cached vehicle that's no longer on the account is now
pruned, so a reload/restart clears the removed car and its stale device is removed automatically. A partial or failed
enumeration never prunes, so a real car is never dropped by mistake.
The climate "time remaining to target temperature" no longer stays frozen after a run ends (#1231, thanks @Ra72xx).
On a multi-channel car the climate ETA could come from the EU Data Act portal's batch feed, which keeps re-sending
the last run's value, while the live climatisation state (from the live channel) already reads off. The ETA now
zeroes whenever climatisation reads off — matching the app and the pre-heater timer — and it joins the live-supersede
rule the charging-time ETA already uses, so a live channel's value wins over a stale portal one.

The stale-data repair no longer embeds your full VIN in its id (#1626, thanks @eddieari). Home Assistant's
stale-data repair keyed its internal id on the raw VIN, which is written as-is into a diagnostics download — unlike
the VIN fields, which are masked — so a shared diagnostic could expose the full VIN. The id now uses the masked VIN,
and an id raised before the upgrade is cleared automatically.
