Reliability fix for auto-updates
Fixed
- Plugin could disappear after a failed update. The zipball-fallback path in the updater deleted the old plugin folder before moving the new one into place — if the move then failed (permissions, disk, filesystem quirk), the plugin was gone and users had to reinstall. The updater now moves the old folder to a backup location, attempts the rename, and restores the backup if anything goes wrong.
- Update failures are no longer silent. If an update fails, a dismissible admin notice now appears with the specific error. Previously failures only went to
error_log.
