- add semver candidate classification policy - explicitly enforce allowDowngrade = false across channel configurations - reject update-available candidates that are not newer than installed version - guard downloadUpdate and installUpdate transitions - add regression tests for #1187 and channel switches
- distinguish currentVersion and availableVersion in UpdateStatus - use up-to-date state across updater and renderer - preserve candidate version across download lifecycle - update IPC types and renderer stores for explicit version state
- redesign UpdatesPanel status hero with calm affirmative up-to-date state - display separate installed and available versions when updates exist - update downloaded state to use 'Restart & update' CTA - update UpdateDialog to reflect new states and copy
- align tray menu with 'Restart & Update to <version>' copy - refine update toasts to use 'Restart & update' action and affirmative up-to-date copy - add structured diagnostics logging for update check and download decisions - add unit tests for toasts and structured diagnostics
- replace ampersands in update actions with single words - use 'Restart' in panel, dialog, and toast actions - use 'Update to <version>' or 'Restart' in tray menu
- replace _allowPrerelease and _channel with module-scoped state variables
- cancel autoDownload on rejected candidates and guard download handlers - handle idle, dev-mode, and channel-missing states in UpdatesPanel - reset userInitiated flag when update is available - add tests for rejected download cancellation, idle/code states, and toasts
