Update channels

Configure which release channel to follow in ~/.eliza/eliza.json:

json5
{
  update: {
    channel: "stable",          // "stable" | "beta" | "nightly"
    checkOnStart: true,         // check for updates when eliza starts
    checkIntervalSeconds: 14400, // 4 hours between checks
  },
}

Desktop app

The desktop app checks for updates automatically on launch. Updates are downloaded in the background and applied on next restart.
