Fix users who installed intel builds on arm macs

[t3dotgg]

ugh.

Note

Detect Apple Silicon hosts running Intel desktop builds and configure updater to disable differential downloads and surface an in-app ARM-switch warning in main.ts and Sidebar.tsx

Add runtime arch detection via runtimeArch.resolveDesktopRuntimeInfo, pass arch fields into updateMachine.createInitialDesktopUpdateState, set autoUpdater.disableDifferentialDownload when runtimeArch.isArm64HostRunningIntelBuild is true, and show a sidebar alert with an action to switch to the ARM build.

📍Where to Start

Start with runtime detection in resolveDesktopRuntimeInfo in runtimeArch.ts, then follow usage in main.ts and propagation into createInitialDesktopUpdateState in updateMachine.ts.
