Changelog

Permanent fix for the Next.js / Turbopack middleware build error — closes the upgrade-path gap that left existing installs broken even after v1.1.3.

• fixAdd middleware.js to MANAGED_PATHS — npx gigabot init and npx gigabot upgrade now always overwrite middleware.js with the correct template (inline static config export). Users on any prior version who run upgrade will receive the fix automatically.
• fixRemove config export from lib/auth/middleware.js entirely. Even if a user manually writes export { config } from 'gigabot/middleware', there is nothing to re-export — the failure mode is structurally impossible.
• docsAdded detailed comment in lib/auth/middleware.js explaining why config must be a static literal in the project root and pointing to the correct template pattern.

Resolved the Next.js Turbopack static analysis error that prevented builds when middleware.js re-exported config from the gigabot package.

• fixRewrote templates/middleware.js to export config as a static inline literal object instead of re-exporting it from gigabot/middleware. Next.js / Turbopack requires the config export to be defined directly in the project's middleware.js file.
• docsAdded detailed JSDoc comment in templates/middleware.js explaining the static analysis constraint and why the config must not be imported from a module.

Branding cleanup, support URL correction, and Swarm page SSR hydration fix.

• fixReplaced all remaining 'ThePopeBot' / 'PopeBot' references with 'GigaBot' across compiled components including app-sidebar.js.
• fixCorrected support URL from www.www.gignaati.com to https://gigabot.gignaati.com in app-sidebar.jsx and compiled output.
• fixFixed Swarm page React hydration error caused by reading localStorage during SSR. Replaced direct access with an SSR-safe useEffect pattern.
