Description
### Describe the bug
I think starting with 1.0.4 the auto-update setting in config.json is no longer working.
### Affected version
1.0.4
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. start with 1.0.3
2. update config.json to have
"auto_update": false,
"autoUpdate": false,
3. start copilot version stays at 1.0.3
4. manually update to 1.0.4
5. start copilot and version is automatically updated latest
### Expected behavior
version stays at specific version
### Additional context
windows
x86_64
Windows Terminal
the --no-auto-update still works
the COPILOT_AUTO_UPDATE environment variable set to false still works
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the config.json handling for auto_update and autoUpdate, then compare it with the working --no-auto-update flag and COPILOT_AUTO_UPDATE environment variable behavior. Reproduce the 1.0.3-to-1.0.4 upgrade on Windows and verify that setting the configuration to false prevents automatic updates.
