Add beta channel to auto update

[Copilot]

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds support for a beta update channel (“latest-dev”) throughout the app:

• Defines a new setUpdateChannel IPC method and exposes it in preload.
• Renders a UI switch to toggle between stable and beta channels and invokes the new API.
• Implements channel switching in UpdateService, initializes on startup, and adjusts CI/CD workflows to publish both latest and latest-dev releases (including blockmap assets).

src/renderer/types/common.ts:60

• Consider adding a JSDoc comment for setUpdateChannel to explain its purpose and valid channel values to future maintainers.

  setUpdateChannel: (channel: 'latest' | 'latest-dev') => Promise<void>;

src/renderer/components/UpdateButton.vue:76

• This new toggle logic and handleBetaChannelChange behavior should be covered by a unit test (e.g., mocking localStorage and electronAPI.setUpdateChannel).

const useBetaChannel = ref(localStorage.getItem('useBetaChannel') === 'true');

src/main/tests/updateService.test.ts:12

• Add a test to verify that ipcMain.handle('set-update-channel', ...) is registered and that calling it invokes setUpdateChannel with the correct channel.

• The workflow uses dist for Linux artifacts but artifacts/macos for macOS; unify the directory paths or confirm both locations exist to avoid missing files.

        id: find-installer

.github/workflows/build-and-release.yml:405

• This upload references artifacts/linux/... but earlier steps place blockmaps in dist/; the paths should be consistent to ensure successful uploads.

          APPIMAGE=$(find artifacts/linux -name "*.AppImage" -type f | head -1)

.github/workflows/build-and-release.yml:386

• [nitpick] There is a lot of repetitive upload_asset logic. Consider iterating over an asset list or using a reusable workflow to reduce duplication.

          upload_asset() {

src/main/updateService.ts:43

• Previously the code configured updateConfigPath per platform; removing that may break platform-specific updates. Ensure updateConfigPath is still set or validate platform behavior.

    this.setUpdateChannel("latest");
