Update Feed Configurator

A helper that configures an auto-update client by building the correct feed URL and request headers for the host application.

Capabilities

Public update feed from metadata

• Without an explicit repository override, derive the repository from the host app's metadata and set a feed URL that combines the update service host (defaulting to https://update.electronjs.org), owner/repo, platform, architecture, and the app's current version. @test

Static storage feed selection

• When given a secure static base URL, configure a feed that uses that URL as-is on non-macOS platforms and appends /RELEASES.json with a JSON server type on macOS. @test

Package-derived User-Agent

• When establishing the feed, attach a User-Agent header formatted as <package-name>/<package-version> (<platform>: <arch>) using the host app's package metadata. @test
