The auto-update system used a per-version publish URL
(releases/download/v${version}), so each installed build only ever
checked its own release page for new versions. To deliver an update we
had to manually copy the new manifest into every old release — easy to
forget, and any half-uploaded state showed users red "check failed"
banners.
Architectural fix:
- New rolling 'update-channel' Gitea release. publish.url is now a
fixed path (.../releases/download/update-channel) that never moves.
- release.ps1 uploads each new build to three places:
1. vX.Y.Z (historical archive + changelog)
2. update-channel (what every client polls)
3. -BridgeTags (transition: also fill in old releases so users
still on those versions can find the new build)
- upload-release-assets.ps1 gains -AssetVersion to upload version-X.Y.Z
artifacts into a non-version tag (channel/bridge).
Resilience fixes for the updater itself:
- Hourly checks and the boot check now run in SILENT mode: network
errors don't promote to a red error state, they're logged and
retried on the next tick. Only user-initiated "Check now" surfaces
errors. This prevents the cascade of "Ошибка проверки" cards on
flaky networks or partial uploads.
- Boot check retries up to 3 times (30s/2m/5m backoff) before giving
up until the hourly tick.
- Track lastCheckedAt; "Up to date" subtitle now shows "checked Nm ago".
