Description
Idea for pop-up after clicking Launch Northstar with outdated mods:
+------------------------------------------+
| You are trying to run Northstar with |
| outdated mods. |
| This can cause instabilities and crashes |
+------------------------------------------+
| Update mods | Launch anyway (5) |
+------------------------------------------+
where the (5) is a 5 second countdown timer only after which the button can be pressed in order to further nudge user to update mods.
This does require fetching list of mods on Thunderstore which means implementing this will increase number of requests against Thunderstore API.
Additionally if user clicks on Launch Northstar before Thunderstore mods fetch finishes, we should just let them launch as to not make them wait to launch Northstar simply cause their internet is slow.

Research direction
Start at the Launch Northstar entry point and the existing Thunderstore mod-fetch flow; the issue names no files or tests, so trace those paths first. Done means outdated mods trigger the described prompt with a five-second launch countdown, while an unfinished fetch does not block launching.
