/**
 * LearnHarness — the Electron shell (wrapper milestone, 2026-09-17).
 *
 * What this process is and is not:
 *   IS:  a thin launcher + security guard around the app's real server —
 *        `next build`'s standalone server.js (Next 16), spawned as a child
 *        on 127.0.0.1 with the BYOK auth file and the LH_DATA_DIR seam.
 *   NOT: a host for any app logic. Everything — teacher turns, extraction,
 *        the graph — runs in the Next server, unchanged.
 *
 * Pattern (fact-checked 2026-09-17 against current Electron 44 / Next 16
 * docs — see .memory release-strategy + electron-wrapper notes):
 *   - spawn via process.execPath + ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 (Electron's
 *     bundled Node 24; the runAsNode fuse must stay enabled);
 *   - the server dir ships UNPACKED via extraResources (asar archives are
 *     read-only and native .node/dylib can't dlopen from one);
 *   - all mutable state under userData (never inside the .app bundle —
 *     translocated apps are read-only);
 *   - keys ride the child's ENV, never argv; auth.json (BYOK) is a flat
 *     {VAR: value} JSON map, plaintext, mode 0600 — server-managed since
 *     the auth-keys wave (2026-09-19): the child reads/writes it DIRECTLY
 *     (LH_AUTH_FILE below) and reflects values into its own env. The old
 *     spawn-time env injection retired with that wave — a copy made here
 *     would shadow every settings-page key change until restart.

 * --lh-zoom so gutter lengths can divide by it and stay PHYSICAL-
 * constant). The traffic lights themselves stay at their construction
 * position ({x:16, y:22.5} — Electron 44 has NO runtime setter, only
 * the BrowserWindow option), which is HIG-correct anyway: native lights
 * hug the window corner while the web chrome compensates around them.
 * Vertical note: at large factors the taller bands' content centers
 * drift below the fixed lights — accepted (the alternative, moving the

/* ── Auto-update (Wave C, owner 2026-10-10: silent download + restart ─────

 *
 * Feed: GitHub Releases (electron-builder.yml publish → app-update.yml,
 * baked + signed into the bundle). macOS needs the app signed (it is —
 * Developer ID) and updates ride the zip target (Squirrel.Mac); blockmaps
 * give differential downloads for free.
 *
 * Hard rules:
 *  - DEV NEVER UPDATES: !app.isPackaged skips the updater entirely — the
 *    dev world runs `next dev` and has no signed bundle.
 *  - THE UPDATER CAN NEVER TAKE THE APP DOWN: every event and check is
 *    caught and logged (feed down, disk full, bad signature — all just
 *    log lines; the app keeps working, update or no update).
 *  - LH_UPDATE_FEED (env): overrides the baked GitHub feed with a generic
 *    local server — the pre-release verification drill (serve
 *    latest-mac.yml + zip + blockmap from any localhost HTTP dir and
 *    watch a real installed copy find/download/restart). Test-only seam.
 *
 * Install path: the downloaded update applies on quit (autoInstallOnAppQuit
 * — Squirrel.Mac stages natively and swaps on relaunch). The renderer
 * banner asks for an immediate restart via "lh:update-install"; we kill
 * the child server FIRST — deterministic ordering: the server lives
