IMO, we should just restart automatically after downloading an update if no Hyper window is open.

Research direction
Investigate Hyper's auto update logic, likely in the main process file (e.g., src/index.ts or similar). The issue suggests modifying the update handler to check if all windows are closed before restarting. Look for existing electron updater configuration and the 'autoUpdater' events. Also review comments in the issue for any suggested approach or potential pitfalls.
