Description

If a canary build is installed from scratch, it should not be configured to have updates from stable channel.

The idea is to create a new config file that will override updateChannel setting in config-default.js. Something like conig-default.canary.js.

CI would use/copy this file before build app if this is a canary build.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the config default.js file and the build process to understand how to add a config default.canary.js override. Modify the CI scripts to copy the canary config for canary builds.
