HourlyChime v1.0.1

🐛 Bug Fix Release

What's Fixed

Menu bar display not updating after work hours

Previously, if you had the app running past your configured work hours, the menu would show stale information like:

• "Next: 5 PM" at 7:15 PM
• "1hr until 6 PM" when it's already past 6 PM

Now the menu automatically refreshes every minute to show accurate, real-time information:

• ✅ "Next: Tomorrow 9 AM" when past work hours
• ✅ "Work day ended" when outside configured schedule
• ✅ Accurate countdown that updates in real-time

Technical Details

• Added automatic menu refresh timer (updates every 60 seconds)
• Menu now stays current even when you don't click it
• No performance impact
