v1.1.0: Hash-based change detection

🎯 What's New

This release introduces hash-based change detection for reliable file tracking, especially when working with cloud sync services like OneDrive, Teams, Dropbox, or Google Drive.

✨ Key Features

• Content-based change detection using MD5 hashing
• No more false positives when re-downloading identical files
• Files are compared by actual content, not timestamps
• Reliable tracking across different devices and cloud services

🔧 Technical Changes

• Added get_file_hash() function with MD5 implementation
• Modified change detection logic to use hash comparison instead of mtime
• Hash stored in material_inventory.json for each tracked file
• modified timestamp kept for informational purposes only

📝 Documentation

• Updated README with hash-based detection explanation
• Added CHANGELOG.md for version tracking
• Documented migration behavior for existing users

🐛 Fixes

• Fixed false "changed" reports when re-downloading files from cloud services
• Fixed incorrect change detection due to timestamp updates during file transfers
• Improved reliability with OneDrive/Teams/SharePoint synced folders

⚠️ Migration Note

First scan after update: All existing files will be reported as "changed" once (because old inventory lacks hash field). Subsequent scans will work correctly.
