Summary

Refs #118. Introduce protocol-1 Windows/Linux portable upgrades with immutable application slots and private state generations. A single activation pointer switches matching app/data only after real migration and startup verification; the previous pair remains intact.

  • Stable immutable bootstrap; strict active-release and state validation
  • Separate OS-released operation, launcher and worker leases; READY/GO before migration/server data access
  • Complete private data/config copy, including SQLite WAL, with hash checks, ownership/reparse checks and disk reserve
  • Same-version repair uses a new immutable release slot; legacy preview cross-upgrades and downgrades fail closed
  • Native Linux/ordinary-user Windows acceptance adds changed migration, nontrivial authored data, provider settings, failures, interruption and rollback checks
  • Documents full-folder backup and explicit limitations

Validation

Final head: 6239d502381e964b525690b0a304ac6fae51f7d0.

  • Regular CI passed
  • Windows and Linux native package/browser/upgrade acceptance passed
  • Windows ordinary-user logs confirm 64 security tests with no failures/skips, full packaged browser authoring, real changed schema migration, committed WAL preservation, migration/startup failure, hard-kill recovery, matched rollback pair and authenticated relaunch
  • Both target OSes build clean source and package pinned Node/native SQLite; no host Node/Git/pnpm is required by the runtime acceptance
  • Local pinned Node 22 checks passed lint, types, formatting and focused tests. Local full browser execution and six tsx migration subprocess tests were sandbox-blocked; the corresponding native/regular CI gates subsequently passed

Review coverage

CodeRabbit reviewed production changes through 9ebd705, confirmed both findings fixed and produced no further actionable comments. The final head changes only ten added test-harness lines to run bundled Node outside the app directory being moved, matching the real installers. That narrow delta received independent review; production files are identical to the CodeRabbit-reviewed head. No additional CodeRabbit pass is claimed for the test-only delta. All review threads, including CodeQL test-fixture findings, are resolved.

Boundaries

No routes changed. No release or merge requested. No paid AI/provider calls. Legacy preview installations are not silently converted. Physical power-loss durability, especially Windows directory commits, is not claimed; process-interruption tests are not power-failure proof. Full desktop shortcut/browser-opening UX remains a manual release gate.

Independent local security review findings were fixed. Please review activation atomicity, worker lifetime fencing, Windows ACL/reparse handling, missing-state failure behavior and preservation of secrets/data.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Desktop installations can upgrade to a higher stable release while preserving study data and configuration.
    • If an upgrade is interrupted or fails verification, the previous installation remains available for recovery.
  • Improvements
    • Launching an inactive release against current study data is prevented.
    • Legacy preview installations cannot be upgraded in place.
  • Documentation
    • Updated installation and backup guidance, including upgrade requirements and restoring a complete installation from a separate folder.

Refs #118. Preserve matched app/state generations, verify migration and startup before atomic activation, and cover native crash recovery.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Desktop installations now use protocol-1 metadata to select release and study-state generations. The installer prepares and probes candidate upgrades before updating the active marker. Launcher and worker changes validate selected state and coordinate worker access.

Changes

Desktop upgrade and launch lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Installation metadata and stable bootstrap
scripts/desktop/state-store.mjs, scripts/desktop/dispatch.mjs, scripts/desktop/inspect-state.ps1, scripts/desktop/package.mjs, install-solo.sh, install.ps1, docs/architecture.md, docs/solo-installation.md, AGENTS.md
Adds protocol-1 installation metadata validation, release and state selection, state inventory and copying, and stable bootstrap entrypoint handling. Packaging includes the runtime scripts and declares upgrade protocol 1. Documentation describes upgrade eligibility, state handling, and backup procedures.
Candidate upgrade and activation
scripts/desktop/install-release.mjs, scripts/desktop/operation-lock.mjs, scripts/desktop/upgrade-probe.mjs, tests/desktop/upgrades.test.mjs, tests/desktop/upgrade-acceptance.mjs, tests/desktop/relocated-helpers.test.mjs, scripts/desktop/acceptance-windows.ps1, .github/workflows/desktop-preview.yml
The installer checks locks and upgrade eligibility, prepares and probes candidate state, then records the active release and state pointers. Unit, relocation, and packaged acceptance tests cover upgrades, interruptions, migration, and failure cases. CI runs the added tests and Linux packaged acceptance. The desktop preview timeout increases to 45 minutes.
Launcher selection and worker lifetime
scripts/launcher.mjs, scripts/desktop/worker-guard.cjs, scripts/desktop/worker-runner.mjs, scripts/desktop/settings-loader.cjs, tests/desktop/worker-lock.test.mjs, tests/desktop/launcher.test.mjs, tests/desktop/acceptance.mjs, tests/desktop/fixtures/*
The launcher selects validated installation state and starts migration and server processes through an authorization handshake. Worker guards validate private lock paths and hold the worker lock for the process lifetime. Tests cover worker locking and resolve acceptance-test paths from installation metadata.

Priority: ➖ Normal

@coderabbitai review

Please review the full current head, including atomic matched app/state activation, worker READY/GO and lifetime locks, Windows source ownership/reparse handling, interruption recovery, missing-state fail-closed behavior, and secret/data preservation. This remains a draft; native Windows/Linux acceptance is running.

@coderabbitai review

Please review corrected head 9ebd705. Both findings are addressed with regressions. Windows process-crash tests now require OS-confirmed worker termination or a held lease, and static fixtures replace generated source flagged by CodeQL. Local pinned Node 22 checks: 68 passed, one real-Windows-only test deferred to the native CI run. Please confirm current-head coverage; the PR remains a draft.
