> Auto updates. Your users automatically get the latest version on each launch
How do you handle this? Are there hooks so that desktop apps can know to migrate state that's on disk?

When it downloads a new version, it doesn't overwrite old versions. You can have two versions installed simultaneously. They are kept in $HOME/.jdeploy/packages/YOUR-PACKAGE/VERSION
It is also possible to peg your app to a particular version so that it doesn't auto update. Other variations are possible too, such as only autoupdating minor updates. E.g. Update to 2.1 or 2.2, but not to 3.0. For simplicity, I haven't exposes some of that yet.
There are no hooks. When your app runs, it is always running a particular version of the app. If your app needs to "transition" its resources when new versions are run, then that is up to you. No different than if the user downloaded and updated your app manually.
