FlowRelease site catalog

FlowRelease site catalog is the public half of the FlowRelease pair: a read-only site module that renders your software catalog on the front end, with product name, description, current version, release date, download link and SHA256 checksum for each Flow extension.

It reads the published catalog file that the release pipeline itself writes. The version a visitor sees is therefore machine-true on every publish rather than prose somebody remembered to update - the number on the page and the number in the release are the same number by construction.

What It Does:

• Renders the public software catalog as a Joomla site module, with version, release date, download and checksum per extension.
• Reads the published catalog directly, so a listed version cannot drift from what was actually released.
• No credentials and no outbound network calls. It reads a file your own site publishes.
• Fails quietly: a missing or malformed catalog renders a graceful empty state instead of an error.
• Hardened paths - the catalog location stays inside the site root, and link fields refuse anything that is not http or https.

This is a first release, and the site facing companion to the FlowRelease admin panel.
