Original release notes

Your week, before it happens.

- Plan ahead opens on your week: who's expected where, and how each day went.
- Mark a day off, early release or late start. Everyone sees it; nobody is alerted.
- Link a school or team calendar and days off fill themselves in.
- Scan a schedule from the camera (iPhones with Apple Intelligence).
- A calmer Pulse, with one Live now block and just your pinned check-ins.
- Fixes for offline schedule sync and deleted places.

Core safety (SOS, check-ins and the live map) is free for everyone. Always will be.
