- test_api_timeout: assert the updates/check call keeps timeoutMs:60000 in its
new _checkBody form (functionally identical; still the 60s override)
- panels.js: reword two // comments to drop apostrophes — the smooth-text-fade
brace-matcher test treats ' in a comment as a string delimiter and lost
loadSettingsPanel's closing brace (node --check confirms the JS was always valid)
text-overflow:ellipsis is a no-op on the inline-flex badge; display:block in the
<=768px rule makes the ellipsis actually render for a long experimental describe.
MUST-FIX: /api/updates/check now accepts an explicit 'channel' in the POST body;
the Settings dropdown passes the just-picked value to checkUpdatesNow(channel) so
the immediate re-check can't race the debounced autosave PUT and answer for the
previous channel (verified live: body channel wins over stale saved setting).
SHOULD-FIX:
- copy: 'soaked' -> 'soak-tested'; append 'Applies to WebUI updates only.' to the
channel helper text (all 15 locales, native translations)
- mobile: .settings-version-badge gets max-width/overflow/ellipsis in the <=768px
query so the '· Experimental' suffix can't overflow a 320px viewport
(#5 badge-suffix i18n key deferred — non-blocking fast-follow per Fable, matches
the existing English-only version badge on master.)
Codex round-2 gate: apply_clear_lock re-entered _apply_update_inner(target)
without the channel, so an experimental WebUI lock-recovery retry silently fell
back to stable. Now passes _read_update_channel() through. + regression test.
Codex gate CORE fix: check_for_updates passed the user's WebUI channel into the
Agent repo resolution, so on 'experimental' the Agent ignored its v* tags and
fell back to origin/master. The Agent is a separate project (plain v* tags,
tracks master past tags) and must ALWAYS use DEFAULT_UPDATE_CHANNEL. Forced in
all 3 sites: check_for_updates agent leg + _apply_update_inner + apply_force_update
(target=='agent' -> channel=DEFAULT_UPDATE_CHANNEL). Added a real-git regression
proving Agent release/apply resolution is identical under both WebUI channels.
- test_update_stash_recovery: add merge-base handler for the force-update
rewind guard probe (origin/master is a descendant of HEAD -> not a rewind)
- test_security_review_fixes: fake_check accepts channel kwarg
- i18n.js: native translations of the 4 update-channel keys for all 14
non-English locales (locale-coverage tests enforce key presence)
Add an update_channel setting (stable|experimental) that selects which git-tag
stream the self-updater tracks on the single linear master line:
stable -> 'v*' promoted, soaked releases (default; unchanged glob)
experimental -> 'exp-v*' every release batch (opt-in testers)
A channel is only a tag glob — no branches, no divergence — so every ff-only
guarantee (#2653/#2846/#3140) is preserved. Channel governs the WebUI repo only;
the Agent repo keeps its historical branch fall-through.
Correctness (advisor-reviewed, Codex + Fable):
- describe uses --match <glob> so a commit tagged both v* and exp-v* resolves
to the channel-correct tag
- stable never falls through to origin/master when HEAD contains the latest
stable tag (the firehose-suppression that makes channels work)
- apply_force_update refuses to reset --hard onto an ancestor ref (rewind guard)
- update cache + in-progress guard keyed by (channel, include_agent)
- channel display badge is a SEPARATE field; WEBUI_VERSION stays channel-neutral
(asset cache-busting / SW cache / stale-client skew all do exact-string equality)
Settings UX: channel dropdown with risk-forward copy + the ff-only asymmetry
helper ('switching back to Stable keeps your current version until Stable catches
up'), channel chip on the version badge, i18n keys, re-check on switch.
Tests: new tests/test_update_channels.py (12 real-git-fixture tests) + existing
update suite updated for the channel-aware signatures.
Convert in-place pkg.__path__=[] mutations on the REAL agent/hermes_cli
packages to monkeypatch.setattr (auto-restored), and make
test_issue1574's _activate_spawn_fake_agent snapshot+restore the
HERMES_WEBUI_AGENT_DIR/PYTHONPATH/sys.path it mutates.
