Research direction

Search the repository for HoursBetweenUpdateChecks and inspect how AutomaticBackgroundTask currently applies the hardcoded eight-hour value. Read the related App Installer update-settings documentation to understand the intended configuration model. Done means callers can configure this interval instead of relying on the fixed value, with the resulting behavior covered by the repository's existing checks if applicable.
