## What changed
Add `codex app-server daemon update` to check the latest stable release once, even when automatic updates are disabled. The command requires an installer-owned latest-channel standalone installation and reports `updated`, `noUpdate`, or `unsupported` as JSON, including installed and running versions.
Route manual requests through the updater so scheduled and manual installs share one owner and accepted updates continue if the CLI exits. Restart a running managed daemon when its binary or version differs from the selected installation; this may interrupt active or queued work. Return installer failures as command errors and retry requests across updater replacement.
## Testing
Add coverage for manual updates with automatic updates disabled, queued requests, same-version binary replacement, updater handoff retries, and unsupported installations or unmanaged servers.

## Why
The managed daemon's updater used a fixed hourly cadence with no saved preference to disable automatic updates.
## What changed
- Read `updater.autoUpdateEnabled` and `updater.updateIntervalMinutes` from `CODEX_HOME/app-server-daemon/settings.json`, defaulting to enabled with a 60-minute interval. Keep the initial five-minute delay and require a positive interval.
- Apply the enabled preference during daemon lifecycle operations and re-read settings before updates and recurring waits. Preserve updater preferences and unknown fields when saving remote-control settings, using atomic file replacement.
- Signal the updater's process group on Unix so stopping it also terminates installer children. Allow daemon shutdown even when settings are malformed.
- Document updater configuration and remote-control preference behavior. Manual `codex update` remains unaffected.
## Testing
Add tests for settings preservation, interval validation, recurring waits, enabling and disabling updates across restart and bootstrap, Unix installer termination, and shutdown with malformed settings.

## Why
Starting a latest-channel standalone daemon required a separate `bootstrap` to enable automatic updates. A missing updater could also leave a running server without automatic updates until `bootstrap` was run again.
## What changed
- Ensure a single supported updater after managed `start`, `restart`, and restarts caused by remote-control changes. Repeated starts recover a missing updater while reusing the running server.
- Report updater failures as warnings so successful server starts and restarts still succeed.
- Preserve an existing updater while the latest-channel marker and managed binary may be temporarily inconsistent during installation. Stop it when the latest-channel marker is removed.
- Document automatic updater startup and the limitations of detecting out-of-band binary replacements.
## Testing
Add Unix tests for updater reuse and recovery, invalid updater records, marker mismatches and release pinning, unmanaged servers, and bootstrap status for managed local builds.
