Update Source Selector

Configure automatic updates for a packaged desktop app by delegating to the updater dependency while supporting either the public update service or a static HTTPS feed.

Capabilities

Public update service configuration

• Given a repository identifier in the form owner/repo and an optional HTTPS host, it initializes updates against the public service feed for the current platform/architecture and app version. @test
• Rejects repository identifiers that do not include the / separator. @test
• Rejects public service hosts that are not HTTPS URLs. @test

Static storage configuration

• Given an HTTPS base URL for static storage, it initializes updates using that feed; on macOS it targets <baseUrl>/RELEASES.json with JSON server mode, while other platforms use the base URL unchanged. @test
• Rejects static storage base URLs that are not HTTPS. @test

Updater delegation

• For either source type, it invokes the dependency once with the derived source configuration and propagates any provided logger and update interval settings unchanged. @test
