fix(desktop): announce staged updates reliably and install them silently
Two separate reasons "Restart to update" only ever showed up after pressing "check for updates" by hand, and one reason the restart was unpleasant. 1. `update-downloaded` is a one-shot push to whichever page happens to be loaded. It is dropped when the window is in the tray (mainWindow is null), when the 10s post-launch check beats the web app's listener registration, and on every reload. Once an update is staged the poll latches off, so it was never re-announced — a manual check was the only way back. The main process already tracks this in recoveryStore, so expose it over IPC and have the banner ask on mount rather than rely on catching the event live. 2. UpdateBanner was only mounted in the mobile layout. On the desktop app the visible one was UpdateToast, which duplicated the same "update ready" card in untranslated English. Mount the banner on desktop too and reduce the toast to the failure case it does not share. 3. quitAndInstall() defaults to a non-silent install, so on Windows restarting meant clicking through the NSIS wizard. Pass silent + force-run-after, and switch the installer to one-click per-user, which is what lets the silent install proceed without an elevation prompt. The manual-download link in the failure toast pointed at the upstream GitHub repository, which is private for this fork and 404'd for everyone. Point it at the fork's Gitea releases, where the updater feed already lives. Regression test covers the case the live event never announced; verified by mutation that removing the status query fails it and nothing else. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
