# Change: Add desktop auto updates

## Why
TrueGrowth desktop customers need a reliable way to receive macOS and Windows client updates after installation without a custom backend.

## What Changes
- Add Electron auto update support backed by the 1Panel static origin at `https://truegrowth.benchu.cloud/desktop/stable/`.
- Expose update status and commands to the renderer through the desktop preload bridge.
- Add a branded lower-left update entry and dialog for checking, downloading, progress, retry, and restart-to-install.
- Add release manifest tooling for `latest.yml`, `latest-mac.yml`, and `releases.json`.
- Treat production signing as a release gate for customer auto-update packages.

## Impact
- Affected specs: desktop-auto-updates
- Affected code: Electron main/preload, electron-builder config, Workbench shell UI, release scripts
