Description

We currently perform several checks on `current_exe`. However, in special cases it's possible for `current_exe` to point to a path which no longer exists - for example, if something up the stack renamed the EXE while it's running. We should handle this gracefully.

Research direction

Locate the existing checks on `current_exe` and read the surrounding updater flow. Exercise the case where the executable path no longer exists, then verify that the updater handles it gracefully without an unexpected failure.
