Anyone who installed an AppImage or ran the Windows installer was frozen
on that version forever. Nothing in the app ever mentioned a new release
existed, and the release notes were the only announcement.
Desktop now checks a signed manifest, shows the version and its notes in
Settings, and installs and relaunches on request. The signature check is
the whole point: it is what stops a substituted download from being
installed by the app itself. Windows binaries stay unsigned for
SmartScreen purposes -- that is a code-signing certificate, a separate
problem -- but the update payload is verified against our own key.
Android is deliberately not wired to the updater. An app may not replace
its own APK; that is the package installer's job, and the plugin has no
Android implementation. It gets a link to the releases page instead of a
button that would throw.
The plugins are gated with a target-triple cfg rather than
cfg(desktop). Cargo only evaluates target cfgs in a [target.'cfg(..)']
table, so cfg(desktop) matches nothing, silently drops the dependency,
and fails much later with "Permission updater:default not found" -- which
is exactly what the first attempt here did.
Where the manifest lives took some finding. This Gitea serves
/releases/download/<tag>/<asset> but 404s on
/releases/latest/download/<asset> (verified against a real asset), so
there is no stable latest-release URL. The gitea-pages branch is
force-pushed wholesale by publish-docs.yml, so it cannot host the file
either. latest.json therefore gets its own orphan branch, read over the
raw-file URL, and is published from a scratch repo in RUNNER_TEMP rather
than by switching branches in the checkout -- doing that would have left
the following steps standing on a one-commit history, and the next step
but one runs release:notes against the real commit range.
Also fixed, all of it release-integrity:
- "appimage" is in bundle.targets. The release notes have advertised an
AppImage for months; tauri.conf.json never built one, the artifact
step globbed for *.AppImage, found nothing, and said nothing. The
step now fails instead.
- The .AppImage.tar.gz/.sig pair and the NSIS .sig are collected. A
manifest referencing a signature that was never uploaded fails only
on the user's machine, so the manifest step also refuses to write an
entry with an empty signature.
- Release notes are generated by release:notes from the traceability
graph, which is what CLAUDE.md has asked for all along, instead of a
fixed heredoc that said "see CHANGELOG.md for detailed changes" and
linked "GitHub Issues" on a Gitea-hosted project.
- The notes tell users how to verify a download with SHA256SUMS.
Requirements UR-077 / DR-217, tests UT-208 (12 cases over the version
comparison and the platform decision, including that a pre-release does
not offer itself as an upgrade to the matching release).
Verified: 1070 frontend tests, cargo check for both the host and
aarch64-linux-android (confirming the plugins are absent there), clippy
-D warnings, svelte-check 0 errors.
release:notes is not usable for this batch: it maps changed files to their
TRACES, and the logging sweep touched 63 files spanning most of the codebase, so
it reports nearly every user requirement as changed — including ones explicitly
not implemented. Written by hand instead.
Also updates the checklist's artifact names for the rename and adds the rpm,
which the checklist never listed because it was never published.
- traces-quick-ref.md: the four "where to find requirements" links pointed
at README.md, but those anchors (#1-user-requirements and friends) live
in requirements.md; the "See Also" links were written as if the file sat
at the repo root (docs/traceability.md from inside docs/); and the
extraction-script link needed ../ to reach scripts/README.md.
- release-checklist.md: the release-notes template linked ../../CHANGELOG.md
(one level too deep) and ../../issues + ../../discussions, which are
GitHub relative-URL idioms. The canonical remote is Gitea, whose release
bodies render the template outside any repo path, so these are now
absolute gitea.tourolle.paris URLs. Gitea has no discussions, so that
link is dropped rather than pointed somewhere it does not exist.
- specs/favorites-browsing.md: linked the deleted
src/lib/utils/tauriIntegration.test.ts.
- Standardize on bun: remove package-lock.json, add packageManager field,
gitignore non-bun lockfiles, fix stray npm install in android:build:clean
- Remove stale build logs and empty dirs (src-tauri/plugins, docs/tickets)
- Move android-dev.sh into scripts/
- Consolidate root docs into docs/ (docker/builder under docs/build/);
move the architecture overview to docs/architecture/README.md
- Extract Requirements Specification from README into docs/requirements.md
and slim README down to a project intro + docs index
- Fix internal references to the moved files
