Walkthrough

The change introduces a flag-based guard mechanism in the auto-updater to prevent multiple update dialogs from appearing concurrently. The isUpdateDialogOpen flag is set when showing a dialog and reset when the dialog closes or encounters an error.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Update Dialog Guard apps/desktop/src/main/lib/auto-updater.ts	Added isUpdateDialogOpen flag to prevent concurrent update dialogs. Guard short-circuits the update-downloaded handler when a dialog is already open; flag is set before displaying the dialog and reset in both success and error paths.

Poem

🐰 A flag goes up when dialogs bloom,
No two shall occupy the room!
When updates knock, they'll wait their turn,
One dialog shown, then guards return. ✨
