- Map raw network errors (ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED, ENOTFOUND, ETIMEDOUT) to user-friendly "check your internet connection" message - Add Retry button in error state so users can re-check without closing and reopening the dialog Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: autoDownload=true caused a ~170MB ZIP download on every app start. If the download fails mid-stream (GitHub CDN resets the connection), electron-updater fires ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED errors repeatedly. Changes: - Set autoDownload=false — background checks only detect updates, the user triggers the download from the UpdateDialog - Map raw network errors to user-friendly "check your internet connection" message - Add Retry button in error state Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
