feat: detect Homebrew cask installs and adjust update flow - #159
Merged
Conversation
When VocaMac is installed via Homebrew, the in-app update checker now detects this and shows 'Updates are managed by Homebrew' with the brew upgrade command instead of offering in-app DMG download. - Add isHomebrewInstalled check via /Caskroom/ path detection - Add updateAvailableViaHomebrew state to UpdateState enum - Show 'Copy Command' button for brew upgrade in update sheet - Add tests for Homebrew detection and state transitions - Update HOMEBREW.md and DATA_MODEL.md documentation

The static method is a pure string check that doesn't need main actor isolation. Marking it nonisolated allows tests to call it synchronously.

Summary
Detects when the running VocaMac app is managed by Homebrew Cask and routes available updates to Homebrew instead of the in-app DMG installer.
This now uses Homebrew Cask receipt metadata plus the staged
VocaMac.appentry that resolves back to the running app bundle, so detection works after Homebrew installs the app into/Applications.Changes
