latest.json asked once and polled (the newest version and its notes, in
a language or English); then Velopack's releases.<os>.json, the plan (the
delta chain when the installed full package is on disk, no delta is
missing and the chain weighs less than the full one; the newest full
package otherwise, named as the feed names it), each package streamed to
the packages folder with its bytes on a bar and an eased pace, its
SHA-256 by Get-FileHash or shasum in a child, Update patch per delta and
Update apply --waitPid. macOS keeps its packages outside the bundle and
names --rootDir and --packageDir; a translocated app is not installed.
Ports with the runtime as every default: UpdateWorld (platform, exe, pid,
now_ms), UpdateNet (get, download, poll, text, received, free),
UpdateProc (spawn, poll, free). Config: feed, app_id, version, root,
packages, mac_packages, scratch. It words nothing: states, UPDATE_ERR_*
codes and numbers, and UPDATE_STARTED / _STOPPED / _APPLYING facts - the
game exits on the last.
