v0.1.47 compatibility hotfix (based on v0.1.46)

This is v0.1.46 gameplay/UI with a backported Windows + Linux desktop
updater. It does not include the v0.1.52 Studio/RmlUi migration.

• Installs releases using a detached copy of the currently installed
  executable instead of executing the incoming release before its files
  have been installed.
• Requires a live helper acknowledgement before closing the launcher.
• Uses a verified, journaled file transaction, rollback after failure,
  longer parent shutdown wait, retries for transient Windows sharing
  violations and persistent updater failure logging.
• Protects user settings/maps/replays and prevents an old standalone
  release from replacing a newer paired Game + Studio installation.

The withdrawn v0.1.52 desktop packages were malformed:
Windows lacked hidden Game/Studio compatibility metadata, while
Linux carried an internal updater lock in its file manifest.
v0.1.47 rejects both failure classes before closing the game.
Future paired releases must pass fixed packaging checks.

v0.1.47 is the next stable release after v0.1.46. Once
published, the launcher will offer this hotfix automatically.
Gameplay/UI are unchanged from v0.1.46; this release concentrates
on updater reliability, recovery and safe future upgrades.

On Windows and Linux, failed updates log to
logs/ProjectPrime-updater.log in the game installation directory.
