"""Cross-process mutual exclusion for in-flight Hermes updates.
Until now only the Tauri updater published an "update in progress" marker (``UpdateMarkerGuard`` in
``apps/bootstrap-installer/src-tauri/src/update.rs``), and only the Electron desktop consumed it
(``electron/update-marker.ts``, to gate local backend startup).
This module makes that same marker the single lock for **all** update entrypoints instead of adding
a fourth mechanism. Format and location are unchanged and remain byte-compatible with the Rust and
Electron readers:
The marker file the Tauri updater writes (``UpdateMarkerGuard`` in
``apps/bootstrap-installer/src-tauri/src/update.rs``) and the Electron desktop reads
(``electron/update-marker.ts``) is the single lock for **all** update entrypoints.
Format and location are byte-compatible with both readers.
