Subject: [PATCH] feat: point the feedback email footer at the Dev Center
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The footer told developers to turn feedback off via a puter.apps.update
one-liner, but the toggle lives in the Dev Center app settings — and
Dev Center is where apps get feedback enabled by default in the first
place. Reword it to 'manage it in the Dev Center' with a link built
from config.origin (like app_link) so it holds on self-hosted
deployments.
