chore: update to v1.2.5 and simplify version management

🎯 Simplified Version System:
- Update frontend/backend to v1.2.5 in package.json and go.mod
- Frontend reads version from package.json directly
- Backend reads version from go.mod directly
- No environment variables needed for versioning

🔄 Automated Release Workflow:
- GitHub Actions automatically updates all version files
- Extracts version from Git tag (v1.2.5)
- Updates package.json, go.mod, docker-compose files
- Builds and pushes Docker images with proper tags
- Creates GitHub release automatically

🚀 User Experience:
- Just: docker compose up
- System auto-detects version from code
- Updates work with no manual setup
- Proper semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)

Ready for automated release!

+# 🎉 Trackeep v1.2.5 Release Complete!
+
+## ✅ What We Accomplished
+
+### **🏷️ Proper Semantic Versioning**
+- ✅ Created version `v1.2.5` following MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format
+- ✅ Git tag created: `v1.2.5`
+- ✅ Version pushed to origin
+- ✅ Ready for GitHub Actions automated builds
+
+### **🔄 Complete Update System**
+- ✅ **No OAuth required** - removed authentication dependency
+- ✅ **Docker-based** - uses container registry pulls
+- ✅ **Latest tags** - always gets newest versions
+- ✅ **Integrated UI** - update notifications in left navigation
+- ✅ **Auto-checking** - every 24 hours in background
+- ✅ **One-click updates** - users can update directly from UI
+
+### **🐳 Docker Configuration**
+- ✅ **docker-compose.yml** - local builds with version variables
+- ✅ **docker-compose.prod.yml** - production with latest images
+- ✅ **Version environment** - `APP_VERSION` passed to containers
+- ✅ **Docker socket** - mounted for in-container updates
+
+### **🚀 Automated Release Workflow**
+- ✅ **GitHub Actions** - `.github/workflows/release.yml`
+- ✅ **Semantic version extraction** - from Git tags
+- ✅ **Multi-arch builds** - backend and frontend matrix
+- ✅ **Docker registry push** - automatic with version tags
+- ✅ **GitHub releases** - automated creation
+- ✅ **SBOM generation** - security and compliance
+
+### **📋 Documentation Created**
+- ✅ **VERSION_WORKFLOW.md** - complete versioning guide
+- ✅ **Release script** - manual release automation
+- ✅ **Update guides** - user documentation
+
+## 🎯 How Users Get Updates
+
+### **Current Experience:**
+```bash
+# User just runs:
+docker compose up
+
+# System automatically:
+# 1. Sets APP_VERSION from environment
+# 2. Checks for updates every 24h
+# 3. Shows update button in left nav
+# 4. Pulls latest images when clicked
+# 5. Restarts services automatically
+```
+
+### **Version Detection:**
+- **Backend**: Reads `APP_VERSION` environment variable
+- **Frontend**: Reads `VITE_APP_VERSION` from build
+- **Comparison**: Current vs `latest` tag in registry
+
+### **Update Flow:**
+1. **Background check** → API call to `/api/updates/check`
+2. **Version compare** → Semantic version comparison
+3. **UI notification** → Update button appears in left sidebar
+4. **User action** → Click to install update
+5. **Docker pull** → Backend pulls `latest` images
+6. **Service restart** → Automatic with new images
+
+## 📦 Release Strategy
+
+### **Tag Management:**
+```
+ghcr.io/dvorinka/trackeep/backend:latest     ← Always newest
+ghcr.io/dvorinka/trackeep/backend:1.2.5  ← This release
+ghcr.io/dvorinka/trackeep/backend:1.2.4  ← Previous release
+
+ghcr.io/dvorinka/trackeep/frontend:latest    ← Always newest  
+ghcr.io/dvorinka/trackeep/frontend:1.2.5  ← This release
+ghcr.io/dvorinka/trackeep/frontend:1.2.4  ← Previous release
+```
+
+### **Semantic Version Rules:**
+```
+1.2.5 → 1.3.0  (MINOR: new features)
+1.2.5 → 1.2.6  (PATCH: bug fixes)
+1.2.5 → 2.0.0  (MAJOR: breaking changes)
+```
+
+## 🔄 Future Release Process
+
+### **Automated (Recommended):**
+```bash
+# 1. Make changes
+git commit -m "feat: add new feature"
+
+# 2. Bump version (semantic-release will handle)
+# 3. Push to trigger GitHub Actions
+git push origin main
+
+# 4. GitHub Actions automatically:
+#    - Builds Docker images
+#    - Pushes to registry
+#    - Creates GitHub release
+#    - Updates documentation
+```
+
+### **Manual:**
+```bash
+# 1. Use release script
+./scripts/release.sh 1.2.6
+
+# 2. Or manual process
+export APP_VERSION=1.2.6
+git tag v1.2.6
+git push origin v1.2.6
+docker build & push
+```
