Updates that cannot brick the install

The updater no longer stops Nex before proving it can finish the job, and every step is written to a log file that survives even if the launcher is gone.

What changed

  • Helper shutdown via scheduler: The elevated helper is ended through its own scheduled task, which works across integrity levels where taskkill silently fails. A locked helper binary can no longer abort the update mid-flight.
  • Verify-before-touch: After stopping, the updater confirms zero Nex* processes remain before moving anything. If anything survives, it aborts with the install untouched.
  • Safe rollback: Failures before the backup step restart the original install instead of leaving nothing running; failures after it restore the backup as before.
  • File logging: All updater output mirrors to updater.log in the update workdir through a never-throwing logger, so a dead parent process can no longer take the diagnostics — or the rollback — down with it.
  • Move retries: The install-tree backup retries transient file locks before giving up.

Bug Fixes

  • Silent death after "Updating...": Fixed the sequence where the updater quit Nex, then died on a locked helper binary, leaving no backup, no install, no restart, and no logs.
