* Ask for the sudo password once per omarchy update

Every sudo call in omarchy update prompted, because the no-update wrapper
covered the whole run on top of per-phase revokes, and stay-awake revoked
the timestamp on its own entry and exit. A single update could ask four
times before the snapshot finished (#13319).

Authorize once, right after confirmation, starting from a revoked
timestamp so the prompt always belongs to this update. A background
keepalive refreshes it until the update is done. Prune, snapshot,
stay-awake, keyring, system packages, migrations, orphan removal, service
restarts, the post-update hook, and mise all share that authorization.

AUR builds run third-party PKGBUILD code, so they move to the end and run
cold: the keepalive stops, the timestamp is revoked, and yay and any bare
sudo use the no-update wrapper. The timestamp is revoked again after AUR
and on every exit.

* Keep the single authorization for passwordless sudo and ttyless inhibition

Authorize by running a command instead of sudo -v. Under the default
verifypw=all, -v prompts even when passwordless sudo is enabled, which
would have added a prompt those users never had.

Inside an update without a terminal, stay-awake now reuses the update's
authorization with a non-interactive sudo instead of asking again through
polkit. It falls back to polkit only if that authorization is gone.

The test sudo refuses a cold non-interactive call, as the real one does.

Afonso OliveiraandClaude Fable 5.1 13a4306a8e Run the refresh hook before its transaction and keep the inhibitor through user work
Three review findings on the update-hook boundary:

The pre-refresh-pacman hook had been moved after the refresh transaction
and, during a channel switch, deferred to the very end. That defeated the
hook's purpose: custom repositories and IgnorePkg entries were not in
place when the downgrade-capable -Syyuu ran. Run the hook where it used
to run, after the package config is re-synced and before the transaction,
but cold: revoke the timestamp, run it behind the no-update wrapper with
the caller's original PATH, and revoke again before continuing. Every
later privileged command authenticates with --no-update, so a detached
child left by the hook has no reusable timestamp to wait for. Channel
switching hands the caller's PATH to the refresh the same way the updater
receives it, and no longer defers or re-runs the hook.

Stay Awake was released before AUR builds, hooks and mise, so the machine
could sleep during the longest part of an update. Releasing the inhibitor
needs no privilege because the held command already dropped to the user,
so stop it after mise and before the reboot prompt, as before.

A packaged channel destination cannot be inspected before its package is
installed, and a transaction can replace the running tree with a release
that predates the command-scoped wrapper; from then on a bare sudo would
resolve to /usr/bin/sudo and publish a timestamp, and the destination's
own updater authenticates the same way. The switch used to abort only
after the packages had changed, with generic rerun advice. Now it checks
for the wrapper after each transaction before any further privileged
step, completes what it safely can, and stops cold with instructions to
run that release's update from a fresh session instead of launching it.

Boundary tests pin the hook between the config copies and the transaction
with a cold timestamp on both sides, the older-destination stop with its
guidance and no launched updater, the new inhibitor position, and the
post-update hook staying unreached on failures and signals. Docs, the
manual and the sample hook describe the restored timing.
