- Restyle UpdateChecker settings section to match design system (semantic tokens, Button/Badge components, no hardcoded zinc/blue colors) - Extract updater state machine into useUpdater hook with React context provider (single instance, no split-brain between settings and top bar) - Add UpdateIndicator in top nav bar: pulsing dot when update available, green dot when ready to restart - Fire deduped Sonner toast on update detection (passive, no auto-open) - Gracefully handle dev builds where updater plugin isn't loaded - Wrap relaunch() to surface errors in UI instead of unhandled rejections Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
