brew-browser 0.6.0 / Brew Browser native 0.2.0 — feature-request batch

Signed + notarized release. Tauri is the macOS 13+ / Linux build; native is the
macOS 26 SwiftUI build. The two version numbers track the same feature batch
(native 0.2.0 ≙ Tauri 0.6.0); they differ only because each shell versions by
its own release history.

What's new

  • Reverse dependencies in package detail. Package pages show which installed
    packages require the selected formula ("Required by").
  • Deprecated / disabled indicators. Rows and detail panels surface Homebrew's
    deprecation and disablement metadata — with the upstream reason and any
    replacement token — instead of hiding lifecycle state.
  • Manual vs Dependency Library filters. Library filtering separates packages
    the user requested from formulae installed only as dependencies.
  • Per-package disk size. Package detail shows the on-disk Cellar/Caskroom
    footprint for installed packages.
  • Discover sub-categories. Within a selected Discover category, members are
    grouped by their co-assigned categories so broad buckets are easier to scan.
  • Friendlier failure notices. When a brew job fails, the Activity drawer now
    shows a concise, actionable notice instead of a raw error code. Casks that
    need an administrator password (e.g. docker-desktop) — which can't prompt
    under brew-browser's non-interactive brew — now explain to run the upgrade in
    Terminal, and name the cask.

Changes

  • The Dashboard "Recent changes" card has been withdrawn for this release while
    its presentation is reworked; it will return in a follow-up. No data is lost —
    the full history remains in the Activity view.
  • Package metadata and docs aligned to the release train: Tauri 0.6.0,
    native 0.2.0.

Acknowledgments
