The updater was removed in #360 ("Remove release pipeline from public repo") as collateral when the CI workflows were moved. This restores all client-side updater scaffolding: - Add tauri-plugin-updater dependency (Rust + npm) - Restore build.rs env var detection (SPROUT_UPDATER_PUBLIC_KEY, SPROUT_UPDATER_ENDPOINT) and cfg(sprout_updater_enabled) flag - Restore conditional plugin registration in lib.rs (release builds only, double-gated on compile-time cfg + debug_assertions) - Add plugins.updater config skeleton to tauri.conf.json - Add updater capability permissions - Restore UpdateChecker frontend component and wire it into Settings The updater endpoint and public key are injected at release build time by the external release pipeline. Local dev builds are unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ities - Store the Update handle in a ref and reuse it for download instead of calling check() twice (fixes resource leak and TOCTOU issue) - Close previous Update resource before re-checking - Remove redundant updater:default capability (allow-check and allow-download-and-install are sufficient) - Remove unused progress tracking field Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
