chore: bump v0.2.44

default_config_path treated any directory holding Cargo.toml plus a
config/ folder as a gateway checkout, so running cortiq-gateway inside
an unrelated project died with "cannot read config config/gateway.toml"
instead of using the per-user home. Now ./config/gateway.toml counts
only when the file is actually readable, the repo-checkout heuristic
requires Cargo.toml to be cortiq-gateway's own, and everything else
falls through to $CORTIQ_GATEWAY_HOME / ~/.cortiq-gateway — typing
cortiq-gateway in any directory picks up the same configuration.

+## [0.2.44] - 2026-08-08
+
+### Added
+- **Power controls in Settings**: «Stop everything & power off» stops every managed local
+  model server and exits the gateway (the panel shows a clear "gateway is off" screen);
+  «Restart everything» (relabeled) re-execs the gateway with its local servers. Both behind
+  confirm dialogs, translated in all seven languages.
+
+### Fixed
+- `cortiq-gateway` typed in any directory picks up your configuration. Resolution order:
+  `--config` → a readable `./config/gateway.toml` → `$CORTIQ_GATEWAY_HOME` →
+  `~/.cortiq-gateway/gateway.toml`. An unrelated project that merely contains `Cargo.toml`
+  and a `config/` folder no longer hijacks the config path ("cannot read config
+  config/gateway.toml").
