Automatic Updates to Void

[andrewpareles]

We need to allow Void to be updated automatically. It looks like the most relevant file is update.ts (and other files in that directory). Here are some initial questions I have:

• Does updating work by pinging an endpoint? If so, how easy is it to change the endpoint?
• What security measures we have to apply - signing, etc?
• How is the update stored (what file format is it)?
• Can we force people to update?

createUpdateURL() is called to get the updateFeedUrl (the ping endpoint). productService.updateUrl can be supplied by specifying a "updateUrl" field in product.json, sourced from CodeMain.createServices()

Here's the windsurf's "updateUrl": "https://windsurf-stable.codeium.com" and the final updateFeedUrl for macOS and Windows, (I haven't figured out how it works on linux tho)

• https://windsurf-stable.codeium.com/api/update/darwin-arm64/stable
• https://windsurf-stable.codeium.com/api/update/win32-x64-user/stable
