AI Summary

This release addresses a critical macOS update failure where the application would relaunch on the old version after attempting to update. It fixes the root cause by making bundled libraries writable and improves error logging for future diagnostics.

Key Highlights

macOS in-app update now installs successfully, fixing the issue where the updater would abort after relaunching.
Updater errors are now logged instead of silenced, allowing for better troubleshooting.
Libraries are now writable with a build guard to prevent this regression from happening again.
Existing installs on 2.4.1 or later can update in place without losing keys or history.

Full Release Notes

## Fixes

- **macOS in-app update now installs.** Previously the updater would download, show "Restart & update", relaunch, and stay on the old version. Root cause: bundled libraries shipped read-only, so the macOS updater (Squirrel.Mac / ShipIt) could not clear the download quarantine attribute and aborted the install. Libraries are now writable, with a build guard so this cannot regress. If you are stuck on 2.4.1 or 2.4.2, updating to 2.4.3 applies cleanly.
- Updater errors are now logged instead of silenced, so future update problems are diagnosable.
