Description

When checking for an update via cli with occ update:check there is no information if or which apps are not compatible.
However this information is available via web UI.

This can lead to the false assumption that evrey app is compatible, if only cli is used.

Research direction

Start at the occ update:check entry point and compare its output with the web UI, where incompatible apps are already shown. Trace how compatibility information is obtained, then make the CLI report whether apps are incompatible and identify them; done means the command no longer implies that every app is compatible.
