//! Proactive upgrade nudge — the decision logic that turns "an upgrade exists"
//! into "tell the user once, nicely, and never nag."
//!
//! This is the brain of the push-based upgrade story; the daemon supplies the
//! body (a periodic check that calls [`decide_nudge`] and broadcasts the
//! resulting [`UpgradeNudge`] over WebSocket, plus a dismiss RPC). Keeping the
//! decision here makes it pure and unit-testable: throttling, dismissals, and
//! the policy split (auto-apply vs notify vs off) all have golden tests.
//!
//! Rules:
//! - `policy == Off` → do nothing.
//! - Curated upgrades under `policy == Auto` are returned for background
//!   application; everything else becomes a single notification.
//! - Community (upstream) findings are *never* auto-applied — they only notify.
//! - At most one nudge per `throttle_secs` (default once/day), and a finding
//!   the user dismissed is never nudged again.
