This update introducing a streamlined, silent background application update experience and enhanced safety guards during app relaunch.

Summary:

• Quiet Updates: The application now checks for, downloads, and prepares updates silently in the background, removing the top banner pop-ups.
• Status Indicators: You can track the update status directly in the bottom-right corner of the window. The version number will change to "Updating..." during download, and "Restart App!" when ready.
• Smart Relaunch: Clicking "Restart App!" will restart the application to apply the update. If you have unsaved documents open, you will be prompted to save your work before the restart proceeds.
• Exit Safeguard: If you attempt to quit the application while an update is actively downloading in the background, the app will warn you to prevent the download from being aborted.

Details:

• State Machine Integration: Implemented a new updater state module ([src/platform/updater.js](file:///e:/project/featherMD/src/platform/updater.js)) utilizing three states: idle (opens repository homepage), updating (disables interactions, changes styles), and ready (invokes relaunch after file guard check).
• Graceful Failure Fallbacks: Implemented error boundaries during update check and download phases. If downloading fails, the version element silently reverts back to the original version and link behavior.
• Clean Event Listener Replacement: Employed cloneNode(true) and replaceWith on the version element to swap click handlers from default URL opening to update relaunch sequence.
• Centralized Exit Guard: Extended requestQuit() in [src/platform/window.js](file:///e:/project/featherMD/src/platform/window.js) (a unified entry point for close-to-tray, tray-quit, and keyboard shortcuts) to run a synchronous status check isUpdateInProgress() and prompt utilizing @tauri-apps/plugin-dialog if true.
• Style Optimization: Cleaned up unused banner-related rules in [src/styles/base.css](file:///e:/project/featherMD/src/styles/base.css) and added .update-in-progress (deactivated events, opacity) and .update-ready (accent color, font weight) classes.
