Tutorial: nativeInstaller

The nativeInstaller project manages the lifecycle of the application by coordinating safe, Atomic Version Management for updates and installations. It orchestrates the process by fetching binaries via Dual-Source Artifact Retrieval, preventing conflicts with PID-Based Concurrency Locking, and seamlessly switching versions using Symlink-Based Activation. Additionally, it employs Installation Origin Detection to ensure it respects existing installations managed by third-party tools like Homebrew or Winget.
