feat: allow disabling provider update notifications

[repparw]

Summary

Adds suppressProviderUpdateNotifications to the server environment descriptor capabilities. When the server sets T3CODE_DISABLE_PROVIDER_UPDATE_NOTIFICATIONS=1 / true, the web client reads this capability at runtime from GET /.well-known/t3/environment and suppresses provider update launch notifications.

Unlike a build-time VITE_* flag, this works at runtime — users of pre-built binaries (Nix, Homebrew, etc.) can set the env var on the server process without rebuilding.

Changes

• packages/contracts/src/environment.ts — Adds suppressProviderUpdateNotifications to ExecutionEnvironmentCapabilities (defaults false)
• apps/server/src/environment/Layers/ServerEnvironment.ts — Reads T3CODE_DISABLE_PROVIDER_UPDATE_NOTIFICATIONS from process.env
• apps/web/src/components/ProviderUpdateLaunchNotification.tsx — Reads capability from descriptor via Zustand store
• apps/web/src/environments/primary/context.ts — Exports usePrimaryEnvironmentBootstrapStore

Motivation

Some users install providers through external package managers (Nix/nixpkgs), where npm latest is not the source of truth. The update popup is noisy when versions are pinned by the system package set.

Usage

T3CODE_DISABLE_PROVIDER_UPDATE_NOTIFICATIONS=1 t3code serve --mode web

Test plan

• Run with the env var set — confirm no popup
• Confirm provider/version advisory data still exists server-side
• Backward compatible via withDecodingDefault

Note

Low Risk
Small, opt-in behavior behind a server env flag; no changes to auth, provider updates, or version detection logic.

Overview
Adds suppressProviderUpdateNotifications to the execution environment descriptor so the server can tell the web client not to show provider update launch toasts.

Set T3CODE_DISABLE_PROVIDER_UPDATE_NOTIFICATIONS to 1 or true on the server; that value is exposed in descriptor.capabilities. ProviderUpdateLaunchNotification reads it from the primary environment bootstrap store and returns early from the prompt/update toast effect when suppression is on. Provider version detection and advisory state are unchanged—only the popup is skipped.

usePrimaryEnvironmentBootstrapStore is exported from the primary environment context so the notification component can subscribe to the descriptor.

Note

Add suppressProviderUpdateNotifications capability to disable provider update toasts

• Adds a suppressProviderUpdateNotifications boolean field to the ExecutionEnvironmentCapabilities schema in environment.ts, defaulting to false.
• Reads the T3CODE_DISABLE_PROVIDER_UPDATE_NOTIFICATIONS env var ("1" or "true" → true) in ServerEnvironment.ts and sets the capability accordingly.
• Skips rendering provider update toasts in ProviderUpdateLaunchNotification.tsx when the capability is true.
• Exports usePrimaryEnvironmentBootstrapStore from context.ts so the notification component can read the capability.

this feels like the wrong approach. should jsut be a setting like everythign else and it shouldn't be a UI level thing, it should block the update checker to run in the first place, not just suppress the toast
