Problem
The 24h update check interval causes users to download a stale update, restart and immediately see another update waiting. The client already re-checks even when an update is staged (periodic checks bypass the updateReady guard), but the 24h window is too long to catch newer versions before the user clicks restart.
NOTE: Since #1938, releases are batched on a 16h cadence instead of shipping on every merge, so it should no longer be the responsibility of the clients to scatter updates and we should actually want to pull the latest updates as soon as possible now because if we push a hotfix we want users to get it sooner than later and we are no longer spammy with our normal commit updates.
