Update channel + verification

Kanade’s private update channel is a signed Tauri manifest plus Windows setup payload. The live manifest currently lives under https://kanade.jhinx.dev/updates/latest.json, with per-target mirrors under /updates/windows-x86_64/<version>/latest.json.

The Settings updater doctor is read-only. It checks:

  • running version,
  • latest channel version,
  • signature presence,
  • payload URL,
  • payload HTTP status,
  • payload byte size,
  • whether an update is available.

It does not install anything. Real updater verification means clicking the desktop update banner, allowing relaunch, and checking installed files on disk: desktop product version, size, hash, expected strings, daemon hash, /api/meta, and live app behavior.

For v0.5.0, installed desktop and private updater channel proof passed. Direct provider proof and a few manual desktop exercises remain separate carries.
