feat(updater): add auto-update check and install banner#3
Merged
Conversation
The updater install flow requires a process restart on macOS/Linux, which is provided by tauri-plugin-process. Wire it on both the JS side (@tauri-apps/plugin-process 2.3.1) and the Rust side, and grant the default capability the process:default permission set.
Existing v0.5.0 users have no in-app notification path for new releases; they only find out by manually checking GitHub. The plugin-updater and minisign endpoint were already configured but nothing consumed them. useUpdater polls check() 5 seconds after launch and every 6 hours while the app is running, persisting per-version dismissals in tauri-plugin-store so 'X' on the banner stays sticky across reloads until a newer version arrives. UpdateBanner renders below the header with download progress, an 'Install and relaunch' button that calls downloadAndInstall() then relaunch(), and a dismiss button. Styling matches ExternalChangeBanner (sticky, themed, no layout shift).

The updater plugin and signed-artifact pipeline have been configured since v0.4 but nothing consumed them. Existing users only find out about new releases by manually checking GitHub. This is the missing fast-follow before v0.6 ships, so v0.5.0 users actually get pinged when v0.6 lands.
