Description
### What
When updating the Studio app, there is no sign of progress indicating how long it will take to complete the download. There should also be an option to **pause**/**resume** or **cancel** the update, so users can choose whether to proceed with the update or cancel it.

### Why
Informing the user about the download progress is crucial. This allows them to cancel the download if it is taking too long and resume it at a more convenient time.
### How
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Studio app's update and download flow, since the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Trace how an update is downloaded and identify the existing UI and updater boundaries before scoping progress, pause/resume, and cancellation. Done should include visible download progress and controls for pausing, resuming, or cancelling the update.
