`wanderbooks update` reads a release manifest (default: GitHub Releases'
fixed address, D-26), refuses anything not higher than this version,
downloads the platform's file and accepts it only if its sha256 matches
the manifest AND its minisign signature verifies against the release key
compiled into the program (WANDERBOOKS_RELEASE_PUBKEY at build time;
a build without one updates from nothing but a file:// feed whose key the
owner names with --trusted-key, so a local release can be tried). The
verified file is staged under <root>/updates/<version>/, the running
version is kept under updates/previous/ with the journal format it
understood, and the program file is replaced by a rename of a complete
copy made beside it (a reader sees the old file or the new, never a
part). The new program must answer --help; if not, the old one is put
back. Nothing tells the books to stop: the host already notices a
replaced executable and restarts onto it, finishing calls in progress
(host.rs INVARIANT 7).
`wanderbooks rollback` swaps the kept version back, and refuses while any
book declares a journal format or feature the kept version does not know
(plan 3.9: after the owner consents to a newer format the only way back is
the pre-upgrade restore). A package-managed install (a package ships
share/wanderbooks/install-method beside bin/) refuses both and says to use
the package manager. An AppImage replaces the file named by $APPIMAGE.
Tests (crates/ledger-cli/tests/update.rs): update_is_atomic,
failed_update_rolls_back, unsigned_update_refused (another key, other
bytes, a sha that differs, no signature, not a signature),
bridge_survives_update, update_waits_for_a_running_call,
package_managed_install_refuses_update, the kept-version and format-gate
tests; unit tests in ledger-host/src/update.rs.
Dependencies: minisign-verify 0.3 in ledger-host (what cargo-packager's
updater uses to check release files; no dependencies of its own) and
minisign 0.10 as a ledger-cli dev-dependency (the tests sign with a key
they make). sha2 and the two minisign crates are built optimized in debug
and test builds: the tests hash a debug build's program. The release
profile strips symbols, for the packages (P11a step 3).
