Description
As explained in the docs, automatic updates are currently "external" to fman. In other words, it's not possible to force-update from within fman, or see the current update status (eg. whether an update is being downloaded / installed). The goal of this issue is to make this possible.

Research direction
Start with the automatic-updates documentation linked in the issue to understand the current external behavior. No source files, tests, or command entry points are named, so locate the existing update mechanism and command system before defining the force-update and status behavior. Done means both actions are available from within fman and their behavior is covered by relevant tests.
