Previously, automatic checks could fail quietly and return to idle. This change ensures missing dependency errors are surfaced in the update UI with install guidance. What Changed: - Added a dedicated `MissingDependencyError` for dependency-related update failures. - Updated auto-update polling behavior so: - automatic checks still stay quiet for transient/general errors, - but missing dependency errors are surfaced as `AutoUpdateStatus::Errored`. - Improved Linux dependency hinting: - distro checks with `/etc/os-release`, - returns distro-appropriate install hints where possible and falls back to a generic package-manager message when distro parsing is unavailable/unknown. <img width="610" height="145" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8bef3970-38ba-4412-9ece-7b6bb6bf903b" /> Closes #47552 - [x] Done a self-review taking into account security and performance aspects Release Notes: - Improved Linux auto-update failure issue caused by missing `rsync` by surfacing actionable install guidance in the update UI.
