Problem
The update toast requires multiple user interactions for auto-downloaded updates (first clicking "Update" to download, then "Restart Now" to install). Additionally, the "View Changes" button was implemented via a brittle workaround (a plain button to avoid Sonner's auto-dismiss behavior), which is redundant given the existing "Release notes" link.
Solution
autoRestartAfterDownloadflag to seamlessly install and restart the app immediately after an auto-download completes, streamlining the process to a single click.createViewChangesButtoncomponent to simplify the toast's action buttons, relying instead on the existing "Release notes" link and the native Toaster close button.
