Introduce install checkpoint support and resume logic for updates, plus related locking and validation. Adds InstallCheckpoint model, AppJsonContext serialization, and UpdatePaths helpers for deployment lock, apply-in-progress lock and install-checkpoint path. UpdateEngineService gains checkpoint load/save/delete, incoming-state validation, resume logic for PLONDS and legacy updates, apply lock handling, and safer cleanup; ApplyPendingPlondsUpdateAsync and ApplyPendingUpdate flow updated accordingly. Add DeploymentLock contract and extend UpdateState with pause/resume/cancel helpers. Tests updated to cover stale/valid checkpoint resume and legacy/PLONDS flows. CI: enhance ddss-publish to detect release channel, validate S3 assets, prepare and atomically publish channel pointer; add ddss-rollback workflow to publish rollbacks; adjust plonds-build concurrency and release events.
Replace UI DispatcherTimer polling with a StudySnapshotRenderGate across multiple widgets to queue and apply only the latest analytics snapshot; components updated include StudyDeductionReasonsWidget, StudyEnvironmentWidget, StudyInterruptDensityWidget, StudyNoiseCurveWidget. Add StudySnapshotRenderGate implementation to coordinate rendering and monitoring leases and update subscription/lease lifecycle handling (subscribe/unsubscribe, Acquire/Dispose leases, Clear/Dispose gate). Rewrite chart controls (StudyNoiseCurveChartControl and StudyNoiseDistributionScatterChartControl) to use stable logical-time origins, split series into static vs dynamic tails, add geometry/sample caching, stable jitter/coordinate mapping helpers, and expose internal helpers & counts for testing. Add unit tests (StudyComponentRenderingTests) covering the render gate and chart behaviors (layer counts, logical X mapping, stable jitter, cache rebuild). These changes improve rendering correctness and performance by avoiding redundant renders and enabling deterministic chart layout.
