🧩 Release Notes v2.1.0 - Device Awareness Update

✨ What’s New

This release improves transparency and trust in the Proximity Lock System by clearly exposing device state and detection timing.

🚀 Added

• Last Device Connected (Startup Display)
  On launch, the CLI now shows the currently configured device (Name + MAC), or clearly states when no device is configured.

• Last Seen Timestamp
  The status command now displays when the configured device was last detected, including a human-readable “seconds ago” indicator.

• Real-Time Detection Tracking
  The monitoring thread continuously updates the last-seen timestamp whenever the device is detected in range.

🧠 Improved

Monitoring visibility and user confidence
Debuggability of connection and proximity issues
Overall CLI clarity without adding new commands

🛠 Internal

Introduced runtime last_seen tracking in the monitor thread
Clean separation between persisted config and runtime state

📌 No breaking changes

📦 Fully backward compatible with v2.0.0
