+### Desktop Launcher
+
+After installation, a launcher script `lazy-update-manager-electron` is placed in `~/.local/bin/`. It sets the project directory and starts Electron directly. This is also what the desktop entry (wofi/rofi) uses.
+
+When running `lazy-update-manager gui` from the terminal, the Go backend tries to start the Electron app automatically when `prefer_electron` is enabled (default after installation). You can force the web interface with `lazy-update-manager gui web`.

-The install target now preserves the previous binary by backing it up when it differs, so installations are safe and reversible.
