 ### Auto-update flow (inside the app)

+- `src/lib/updater.ts` checks for updates 3s after launch, hourly while Clips stays open, and when the user returns after at least 15 minutes.
 - On `available` it auto-downloads; on `downloaded` the popover shows an "Update ready — Restart" banner.
 - Clicking Restart calls `@tauri-apps/plugin-process` `relaunch()`, which applies the already-staged bundle.
 - No banner is shown in idle / checking / not-available states — the popover stays focused on recording.
