What is new in Matcha 1.5.7

# Matcha 1.5.7

A quiet, green keep awake timer for builds, exports, and AI coding agents.

### Changes
- The menu bar icon is the teacup and saucer again, now white on a dark bar and black on a light one, like other menu bar icons. It is an outline when idle and filled while Matcha is keeping your Mac awake.
- An endless session no longer shows a separate infinity sign next to the icon, so the menu bar item takes one spot. Timed sessions still show the countdown.
- The icon still blinks orange in the last five minutes of a session.

_Install and uninstall instructions live in the [README](https://github.com/jakeantelis/Matcha#install)._
