Desktop Updates
Desktop updates use GitHub releases and expose both a startup upgrade action and a Settings auto-upgrade preference.
The Electron main process configures electron-updater against the repository publisher metadata from electron-builder.yml, which points at fathah/hermes-desktop. src/main/app/updater.ts#setupUpdater registers update IPC handlers, persists the auto-upgrade preference under Electron userData, and applies that preference to autoUpdater.autoDownload.
When GitHub reports a newer release, src/renderer/src/screens/Layout/Layout.tsx#Layout shows an upgrade button in the sidebar footer as soon as the app reaches the main layout. The button downloads the update when needed, shows download progress, and changes into a restart action after the update is ready.
src/renderer/src/components/settings/AboutPane.tsx#AboutPane (the About & Updates pane of the settings modal) presents the desktop app as its own card, separate from the Hermes Agent engine card — the two update on independent channels. The card shows the app version, the auto-upgrade toggle, and an explicit update action: src/renderer/src/components/settings/useSettingsData.ts#useSettingsData subscribes to the same onUpdateAvailable/onUpdateDownloadProgress/onUpdateDownloaded/onUpdateError events as the footer button and adds a manual checkDesktopUpdate (via checkForUpdates) plus a handleDesktopUpdate that downloads, then restarts via installUpdate. When auto-upgrade is enabled the startup release check downloads automatically; when disabled, downloading waits for the user's click (footer button or this card's action).
