Research direction

Start with electrumabc_gui/qt/init.py:on_auto_update_timeout and update_checker.py:do_check and init, then inspect the Python threading.start traceback under the reported Windows/Python environment. Reproduce the auto-update check and verify that it completes without “can't start new thread”.
