 ## Updates
 
-Packaged applications check fixed Nightly asynchronously at startup. Ordinary polling uses a ten-minute base interval with independently sampled ±20% jitter. Each check failure doubles the base delay up to one hour; success resets it. The randomized delay is bounded by that cap and starts after all joined callers settle. Foreground and system-resume checks respect the same monotonic deadline; the localized Check for Updates menu item, including in the Windows caption's Application menu, runs immediately and joins an in-flight check. A newly received mandatory policy also requests an immediate feed check. Automatic checks never open dialogs or download packages. Manual checks display checking, failure, or no-update feedback with the installed version. Ordinary update dialogs fade in and out in place; consecutive prompts replace the card content while retaining the backdrop and background blur.

 `DSH_DESKTOP_UPDATE_CHECK_INTERVAL_MS` configures the ordinary base interval, and `DSH_DESKTOP_UPDATE_CHECK_MAX_BACKOFF_MS` configures the cap; both accept integer milliseconds from 1000 through 2147483647, with the cap at least the interval. An omitted cap defaults to the larger of one hour and the interval. `DSH_DESKTOP_UPDATE_CHECK_JITTER` sets the fractional jitter from 0 through 1, defaulting to `0.2`; the final delay is at least one second and never exceeds the cap. These settings do not change mandatory-policy polling or authorize download retries.

 ## 更新
 
-打包应用在启动后异步检查固定 Nightly。常规轮询以十分钟为基础间隔，每次独立采样 ±20% 的随机抖动。每次检查失败将基础延迟翻倍，上限为一小时；成功后重置。随机延迟不超过该上限，并从全部复用调用结算后开始计时。本地化的“检查更新…”菜单项（Windows 可从顶栏的“应用”菜单进入）立即执行，并复用正在进行的检查。回到前台和系统恢复时遵守相同的单调时钟截止时间。新收到的强更策略也会立即请求检查更新清单。自动检查从不弹窗或下载安装包。手动检查显示正在检查、失败或包含已安装版本号的无更新反馈。常规更新弹窗原位渐入渐出；连续弹窗仅替换卡片内容，保留蒙层与背景模糊。

 `DSH_DESKTOP_UPDATE_CHECK_INTERVAL_MS` 配置常规基础间隔，`DSH_DESKTOP_UPDATE_CHECK_MAX_BACKOFF_MS` 配置上限；两者均接受 1000 至 2147483647 的整数毫秒数，且上限不能小于间隔。省略上限时取一小时与间隔中的较大值。`DSH_DESKTOP_UPDATE_CHECK_JITTER` 配置 0 至 1 的抖动比例，默认 `0.2`；最终延迟至少一秒，且不超过上限。这些配置不改变强更策略轮询，也不授权下载重试。
