Problem

The council review of #26917 found three small gaps after it merged:

• The test did not pin the version floor (0.0.41-nightly.20260914.1700). A wrong floor, or <= instead of <, still passed.
• docs/user/updating.md said every background service skips the npm wait. Services from before September 2026 still wait.
• docs/operations/release.md said a feed version "always" has its archives. A rerun of release after publication replaces assets in a public release.

Fix

• The test now uses nightly hosts right next to the floor (…1699 waits, …1700 does not), so the floor is pinned exactly. I checked that it fails with either mutation above, and with the floor moved by one build.
• Reworded both docs to match the code.

Not changed, with reasons:

• No workflow guard against reruns. On main, a rerun already breaks desktop auto-update the same way. A service update that hits a missing archive fails before handoff, and a retry works. The doc now names the risk.
• Preview versions sort above the floor because preview > nightly. This code cannot run today, because preview releases have no desktop feed.
• A fork or dev mock desktop feed can offer a version that upstream does not have. Boot services download from the upstream release, so they fail before handoff and keep their old version. Fixing that needs feed-origin plumbing for a fork-only path.
