What
The native updater's manifest request, which uses a 10 second timeout and expects JSON, now retries on a dropped connection up to the shared retry limit with a 1 second pause between attempts, instead of failing the update check outright.
Details
The outcome reports whether a manifest retry happened, alongside the existing flag for the download's own drop-retry.
Unconditional in the native updater; no setting involved.
Evidence
Manifest fetch connection dropped on attempt
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
