Fleshed out the self-update story with grounded constraints, a blocking
prerequisite, decisions, and a phased breakdown:
- D-64 ("no auto-update checks without user action") is stricter than the
original "opt-in or gated" wording → the check must be explicitly
user-initiated every time (palette / About button), not a startup poll.
- POLICY.md grudging-allowance criteria apply to the explicit fetch.
- Hard prereq: no release channel exists (2 stale tags, no CI, no signed
artifacts) → recommended splitting a "release channel" sibling under T-46.
- Phases P0 prereq → P1 check+notify → P2 download+verify → P3 apply+relaunch
(tmux sessions survive, D-41) → P4 macOS/deltas.
Moved back to backlog pending the release-channel prerequisite.
