Description

It would be nice to have an option to always auto-update Northstar on FlightCore launch similar to what for example Viper does.

Not auto-updating without user input was a design decision taken to avoid overriding exsiting (dev) installations. However for some end-users, not having to manually press the Update button may be preferred. As such we should have some way to offer that option for that subset of users.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing FlightCore's launch and update flows, then compare the requested opt-in behavior with Viper's approach; done means users can choose to update automatically on launch without overriding existing development installations.
