After an update installs, the badge read 'Update installed — restart the app to apply' as dead text. Make it a button that relaunches the app via the process plugin (tauri-plugin-process + process:allow-restart), so the user can finish the update in one click. Falls back to a 'quit and reopen' message if relaunch fails.

After an update downloads + installs, the header badge showed 'Update installed — restart the app to apply.' as static text — leaving the user to figure out they had to quit and reopen.
Now it's a 'Update installed — Restart now ↻' button that relaunches the app in one click via Tauri's process plugin, finishing the update.
tauri-plugin-process(Rust) +@tauri-apps/plugin-process(JS), registered inlib.rs, with theprocess:allow-restartcapability.relaunch()fails, falls back to a clear 'quit and reopen manually' message.This is the in-app half of the macOS update story; the bundle-swap itself still needs the app to not be quarantine-translocated (separate, signing-related limitation). No screenshot regen — the post-install state only appears after a real update, which the demo fixture never triggers.
