Update Prompt Flow

Build a small update helper that listens for completed app update downloads and guides the user through applying the update. The helper should surface a restart-or-later choice once the download is finished, while allowing simple customization hooks.

Capabilities

Show restart-or-later choice after download

• When an update download finishes, display a modal with restart and later actions; choosing restart applies the update immediately, choosing later leaves the app running. @test

Allow custom dialog copy

• Optional dialog text overrides (title, detail, restart label, later label) are used in the modal when provided. @test

Support custom notifier callback

• If a notifier callback is supplied, run it instead of the default modal and pass along release notes, name, date, and URL from the downloaded update. @test

Log prompt flow

• Log the download-complete event and which user action (restart or later) was chosen. @test
