Upgrade the Tauri CLI and locked platform binaries to 2.10.1 so Linux bundles receive the marker expected by the runtime updater. Keep the UI in the installing state until installation succeeds, and add regression tests for the toolchain and update lifecycle. Fixes Lampese#189

Fixes #189.
Root cause
The release build uses Tauri CLI 2.9.6 with tauri-utils 2.8.3. The CLI predates the newer bundle-marker format and cannot embed the correct Linux bundle type. The v0.2.20 Linux build logs confirm the marker-patching failure. Unknown bundle types fall back to the AppImage installer, which tries to replace the system-owned executable directly instead of using the native package installer. This explains the reported permission error, based on build logs and source inspection rather than an end-to-end reproduction.

Upstream change: tauri-apps/tauri@0575dd2
Changes
Upgrade the Tauri CLI requirement and all locked platform binaries to 2.10.1. Keep other dependencies and the application version unchanged.
Separate download completion from installation success. Display an installing state when the Finished event arrives, and only offer Restart after downloadAndInstall resolves successfully.
Add six installation-lifecycle tests, two toolchain/lockfile tests, and a Node 22 GitHub Actions workflow.
Validation
All 8 tests pass with npm run test:updater on Node 22.16.0. The original CLI configuration fails both toolchain tests. git diff --check passes. Tests ran against checksum-verified source files in a local fixture.
Full dependency installation, application build, native packaging, and a signed .deb update were not run. Before release, verify the bundle-marker warning is gone and a newly built .deb uses the native installer and handles authorization correctly.
Existing binaries with missing metadata need a one-time manual installation of a corrected release; this build-tooling fix cannot repair an already-installed binary.
