Closing the popup after the fact left it on screen for the 15-20 seconds between the updater's version check and the Homebrew Channel running its init.d hooks. That race cannot be won, so remove it. /usr/sbin/update is launched on demand by ls-hubd via a manifest, and ls-hubd.conf lists ManifestsVolatileDirectories under /var - writable, persistent, and how webOS itself ships manifest updates. A manifest there with the same id and a higher version replaces the read-only one, so drop in a copy that keeps every role and permission file and only empties serviceFiles. Nothing on the bus can start the updater after that: no version check, no alert, nothing to dismiss. Callers get an immediate "Service does not exist" rather than a hang, and deleting the file undoes it. Verified on a CX (webOS 5, 04.60.65) across reboots: no update process, /tmp/var/log/update.log never created, no alert. Previously that log was 55 kB with two server checks and an _gAlertWindowId per boot. Revert puts the updater back on the bus. The manifest, its D-Bus service file and the updater binary are all discovered from ls-hubd.conf rather than hardcoded. The popup-closing layer stays as a fallback for when this one is off. Also tried and rejected, now documented in the README: update-related settings, masking update.service (no writable unit directory), and breaking its ping through /var/systemd/system/env/update.env - the ping does fail, but something else on the bus activates the updater anyway.
