A channel nobody has published to answers `manifest.json` with a 404, and the
check reported that the same way it reports a dead registry or a bad signature:
"Last check failed: feed returned HTTP 404". Every host on the stable channel
shows it today, because the stable manifest only publishes when someone
dispatches `announce` for a release tag — so the first thing an operator sees
from the new Updates card is a red failure caused by nothing being wrong.

The shared checker now distinguishes the two. `feed::fetch_manifest_blocking`
returns a typed `FeedError` instead of a string, and only a 404 on the manifest
ITSELF becomes `NotPublished` — a 404 on the detached signature still fails
loudly, because that is the half-published pair the manifest-then-signature
upload order can produce, and it must stay fail-closed.

The host carries that through as `UpdateStatus.not_published`, mutually
exclusive with `last_error`. It is benign only while no manifest has ever been
seen for the channel: once a check has succeeded, the same 404 means the feed
LOST a document it used to serve, which stays an error. The console then shows a
plain sentence naming the channel instead of the failure banner, and "None
published yet" rather than "Not checked yet".

The Linux client makes the same distinction but deliberately NOT the same
choice: `--check-update` keeps exiting 1 and keeps `error` set, because its
consumer is a shell script and an empty channel is the absence of evidence that
this build is current — not a confirmation that it is.

a87fbebc0a feat(client/linux): the client says whether it is current, and can update itself
`punktfunk-client --check-update` fetches the same Ed25519-signed per-channel
manifest the host trusts, works out how this client was installed, and reports
what — if anything — can be done about a newer build. `--apply-update` does the
part it owns. `--version` prints the CI-stamped build string, which is both what
the comparison needs and what a packaging gate can run the binary for.

The engine lives here rather than in the Decky plugin for two reasons: verifying
a signature needs crypto that Decky's embedded Python does not have, and the
plugin is not the only surface that wants the answer. Every UI becomes a caller,
exactly as it already is for --pair, --library and --list-hosts.

What is possible depends on the install, and the module refuses to pretend
otherwise. A flatpak is a per-user install its launcher can update. A .deb/.rpm/
pacman client goes through the packaged root helper — a fixed, parameterless
systemd oneshot polkit authorises for members of the punktfunk-update group, so
the request carries nothing an attacker could influence and the payload comes
from the distro's own signed repositories. A sysext, a nix profile or a source
build gets the command and nothing else: the signed sysext feed carries the HOST
image, so a client sysext has no feed to update from, and a button that can only
fail is worse than one honest line.

A failed check reports the failure. "Could not tell" rendering as "up to date"
is the one answer that must never happen.

The box's capabilities are probed once into a `Caps` struct so the routing rules
are a pure function of (install kind, caps) — all seven of them are tested
without a box, including that the kill switch beats every kind and that pacman
needs its own root-owned full-sysupgrade opt-in on top of the group.
