TASK 48 slice 3: the self-updater is deleted - the Store updates the app

Browse Source 
The creator's ruling (2026-09-27) is Store MSIX + Store IAP, so Microsoft delivers
the updates and the in-app updater is gone rather than parked. This is a
COMPLIANCE action, not cleanup: the Velopack bootstrap downloaded and executed a
payload, which Store policy 10.2.2 does not permit.

Three edit sites, as planned: the PackageReference in ytLive.csproj, 'using
Velopack;' in App.xaml.cs, and the bootstrap block. The self-hosted DigitalOcean
update-URL droplet dies with it.

Guard: ytLive.Tests/StorePackagingTests.cs - the ONE test asserts the app project
references no updater package (Velopack/Squirrel/NetSparkle/AutoUpdater/WinSparkle)
and that no app source file uses the updater API. The check matches CODE (a using
directive, a type usage), not a bare word, so a file's prose may still name what it
deliberately does not do.

Smoke-tested after the removal: MainWindow loaded, 0 exceptions in startup.log.
Full suite 437/437, 0 warnings.
