The unmount of the update disk image was made async-and-detached in #38867, which introduced a race: the installer TempDir was dropped (running remove_dir_all) while the DMG was still mounted inside it. The removal failed silently, leaking a zed-auto-update* dir containing the ~140 MB DMG in /private/var/folders on every update. Now the unmount is awaited before the temp dir is dropped (installation already runs on the background executor since #58767, so this no longer blocks the UI), with the Drop impl kept as a safety net for early exits and cancellation. Additionally, stale installer dirs older than 24 hours are swept from the temp dir when update polling starts, so existing accumulated leaks get reclaimed. Closes FR-104 Closes #58835 Release Notes: - Fixed the macOS auto-updater leaking a copy of the downloaded update in the system temp directory on every update, and added cleanup of previously leaked files.
