[feat]: OTA update mechanism #459
Description
Feature Summary
Add an over-the-air update flow so users get new builds automatically without manual downloads.
Problem or Use Case
Users currently have to reinstall or manually download updates, which delays fixes/features and creates friction for non-technical users.
Proposed Solution
Integrate an OTA updater in the Electron app with background download, version check, and in-app prompt to restart/apply; expose release channel selection (stable/beta), show release
notes, and provide a “check for updates” action; ensure rollback/failed-update handling and signature verification for security.
Alternatives Considered
Continue manual downloads or rely on OS-level package managers; ask users to reinstall periodically.
Additional Context
Aim for minimal downtime and transparent progress indicators; coordinate with existing build/package pipeline and signing requirements.
