Brennan Benson 5753cf6c5c fix(updater): resume background checks after a local build session ends (#11223)
A local-build check (Option+click "Check for Updates" on macOS) pins
activeUpdateSource to 'local' for the rest of the process. The
'update-available' success path never restores it, and
runBackgroundUpdateCheck early-returns on it, so every wake-from-sleep
check, window-focus daily check and nudge poll became a no-op once a
local build reached 'available'. The one-shot automatic timer fired into
that early return and nothing re-armed it, so the scheduling chain died
too and lastUpdateCheckAt froze.

Restoring the source when 'update-available' fires would break the flow
the user just started — the pending download still needs the local feed
and allowDowngrade. Instead the release source is restored when the user
closes the offered card, which main previously never learned about, and
only while status is exactly 'available': downloadUpdate() flips status
to 'downloading' synchronously before it calls into electron-updater, so
this cannot fire once a download is under way.

The automatic timer now re-arms when a check is deferred rather than
launched, so a deferral can no longer end automatic checks for the
process lifetime.
