v0.261.0 — the controller no longer swaps itself out from under an app update (R-608, R-609)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 23s

The controller self-updates daily at 04:30 by default, and after any hub report
once a floor sits above the box. That swap restarts the controller container.
The window proposed for automatic app updates is 02:30-05:00. It contains 04:30.

R-608 — a two-way lock, wired in main.go (stacks never imports selfupdate):
- stacks.Manager.AnyUpdating() -> Updater.SetAppUpdatingCheck, consulted in the
  same three places as the existing backupRunning gate.
- Updater.IsUpdateRunning -> Manager.SetSelfUpdatingCheck; UpdatePreflight
  refuses `self_updating`.
- MEASURED: the gap was narrower than assumed. The update's `backing-up` phase
  already takes the backup single-flight, so that one phase was covered. The
  other six were not, and `starting`/`verifying` are where data may have moved.
- The lock must NOT latch: a held app does not block the controller's own
  updates, including the release that might fix the hold.

R-609 — the 409 carries `data.reason`, additively. transient (busy, updating,
deploying, migrating, self_updating) vs terminal (held, downgrade). Found while
writing the test: the router refuses a HELD app on its own line before the
preflight, so `held` would have been the one reason missing.

Five red-proofs, each seen to fail.
