Version: 2026-04-02 — v0.9.2

• FIX: URLhaus (abuse.ch) integration now requires an API key (Auth-Key header); added URLhaus API Key field in Settings → Security scanning. Without a key the URLhaus check is skipped gracefully.
• FIX: Scan modal failed to open with «i18n is not defined» JS error — resolved by declaring i18n from cfg.i18n inside initScanModal().
• FIX: PDF security report printed blank — modal is now temporarily moved to document.body before window.print() and restored afterwards so @media print selectors work correctly.
• FIX: «Scanning…» text rendered as garbled bytes (double-encoded UTF-8) — replaced with an animated indeterminate progress bar.
• IMPROVE: Scan badge button removed from card header; scan result (shield icon + date + status label) now appears as an inline row inside the card metadata block, consistent with the rest of the card layout.

• IMPROVE: Status labels renamed to «No incidents» / «Incidents detected» (es_ES: «Sin incidencias» / «Incidencias detectadas»), color-coded green and red respectively; all 16 .po/.mo files updated.
