Summary

  • Provide a clear manual download fallback hint in desktop/ui/update.html when an update check/install encounters errors or long stalls, guiding users to GitHub Releases for manual installation when automatic downloading stalls due to network restrictions or proxy issues.
  • Document the desktop update mechanism, common causes of stalls (such as direct CDN network bottlenecks and Windows service file locking), and manual update remediation in docs-site/src/content/docs/troubleshooting/update-failed.md.

Verification

  • bun test tests/clients/desktop-update-surface.test.ts passed (8 pass, 0 fail).
  • cd docs-site && bun run build passed (569 pages built successfully).
  • bun run privacy:scan passed.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The desktop update error can now include a link to GitHub Releases with the latest version. The troubleshooting page adds steps for stalled downloads and Windows file-lock errors.

Changes

Desktop update recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update error and recovery guidance
desktop/ui/update.html, docs-site/src/content/docs/troubleshooting/update-failed.md
When the latest version is known, showError adds a GitHub Releases manual-install hint that names the version. The troubleshooting page describes manual installation for stalled downloads and steps to address Windows file locks. If no latest version is available, the original error message remains unchanged.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 829dc

Windows users may retry installation while the executable remains locked. Correct the verification step; the remaining risk is bounded.
