Summary

  • Inventory update capabilities and propose dependency-ordered work for signed supply, admission, desktop and package owners, the sidebar, and linked installations.
  • Keep unimplemented features explicitly proposed and preserve existing release and CI policy. Publication, freshness bounds, admission, manager-specific recovery, and platform proof remain prerequisites.
  • Address review feedback on closure coverage, signing and rotation, clock recovery, legacy badges, stage status, and policy recovery. Remove pre-disclosure working analysis from the proposed squash tree.

Verification

  • Candidate: 143066702ed0f8975ba764c513b0e4a5c6f38084. Its only changes after ec6e095 correct update-page citations to the documented baseline revision.
  • Under env -i with fresh temporary HOME, OPENCODEX_HOME, CODEX_HOME, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, and TMPDIR, using Bun 1.4.4: bun test tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts (9 passed); bun test tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/docs-link-targets.test.ts tests/ci-workflows/repo-hygiene.test.ts (77 passed).
  • In the same isolated environment: bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, and bun run structure:check passed.
  • The candidate merges cleanly with dev at 0627a2c255bc239d5748119f1d0bc4457a1c03e3. Its union tree acda364259d8e4cdea962f8c51625ed5268ed05b passed the same 86 tests and checks in an isolated environment.
  • Independent exact-head documentation review passed for 1430667; an independent publication-security review passed for ec6e095, with only baseline citation corrections afterward. Implementation prerequisites remain open.
  • NOT RUN: full local suite and broad test:changed on this host because of resource contention and environment-dependent failures; exact-head hosted ci:full is the broad gate. No updater behavior, release workflow, or platform implementation is tested by this docs change.
  • Push used --no-verify as directed for this host; the focused isolated checks above were run explicitly. Hosted CI and review-thread completion are required before merge.

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.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a roadmap and inventory for proposed automatic-update capabilities across desktop, package-managed, standalone, and linked installations.
    • Documented update contracts, known gaps, and proposed verification, activation, recovery, and rollout safeguards.
    • Added draft plans for signed update supply, desktop controls, linked-machine updates, and pnpm and Bun installations.
    • Recorded outstanding implementation, testing, security review, and validation requirements. These documents describe proposals only; no update behavior or capabilities have been implemented.

Walkthrough

The PR adds documentation for automatic-update parity. It records current behavior, open gaps, proposed contracts, and plans for separate implementation units. The documents state that update behavior is not implemented and that further verification and review remain required.

Changes: Automatic-update parity planning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Roadmap, inventory, and gap ledger
devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/000_plan.md, 001_inventory.md, 002_gap_ledger.md
The documents define work scope, sequencing, delivery rules, and verification gates. They compare existing update surfaces with requested capabilities and record open gaps, baseline checks, and design blockers.
Shared update contracts and signed supply
devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/003_contracts.md, 010_signed_supply.md
The drafts define proposed release, artifact, channel, and compatibility contracts. They describe exact-byte signature verification, trust-root handling, candidate binding, and channel freshness.
Runtime admission and update stop
devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/020_activation_admission.md
The draft makes activation conditional on verified idle work and continued eligibility. It records deferral conditions and lists review and testing requirements.
Desktop and package update engines
devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/030_desktop_engine.md, 040_package_preparation.md
The drafts describe proposed desktop and package policy, staging, activation, and recovery. They also specify manager ownership boundaries, policy persistence, and validation scenarios.
Desktop sidebar and update panel
devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/050_sidebar_panel.md
The draft defines versioned update status, compatibility behavior, guarded panel commands, release-note limits, and locale handling.
Linked-machine updates
devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/060_linked_updates.md, 080_child_initiated_updates.md
The drafts describe destination-approved authority, signed Home/Child exchanges, durable journals, compatibility checks, and recovery. The Child-pull proposal uses authenticated polling and result publication.
Standalone and package-manager adapters
devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/070_standalone_updates.md, 090_pnpm_updates.md, 100_bun_updates.md
The drafts describe signed staging, ownership checks, manager-specific transitions, and recovery for standalone, pnpm, and Bun installations. They record fixture observations and leave production activation subject to further proof.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Review comments at @devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/002_gap_ledger.md:
- Line 13: Update the “No-interruption automatic activation” row in the gap
ledger to include units 070, 080, 090, and 100 alongside the existing units, and
require evidence for each owner and link direction before marking the gap
closed.

Review comments at @devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/003_contracts.md:
- Around line 35-37: Update the ocx.update.release/1 contract to define
authenticated, expiring, renewable channel metadata and require consumers to
reject it after expiry, including when no new release is published. Specify
freshness and replay behavior across root rotations, and add tests covering
replay across rotations and periods without a new release.

Review comments at @devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/010_signed_supply.md:
- Around line 81-83: The rotation envelope’s 16-signature limit cannot cover
disjoint nine-of-nine roots. Update the limits in the signed-supply plan to
allow up to 32 root signatures per rotation envelope while preserving the
16-key-per-root limit, and add a disjoint-root threshold vector to the planned
tests.
- Around line 89-93: Define the artifact-threshold contract in the signed-supply
plan before implementing root rotation: ensure the required desktop-artifact
signature threshold can be satisfied by the signatures included with each target
and by the desktop bridge’s key-selection and verification flow. Clarify the
required behavior for rotated roots without weakening signature verification.
- Around line 277-280: Revise the high-water-mark recovery rules for an
accidentally fast clock: define how authorized recovery adjusts wall-time and
local first-seen values while preserving sequence and digest anti-rollback
state. Add a regression case covering a forward clock jump followed by
correction, and specify that unattended updates can resume under the defined
recovery rules.

Review comments at @devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/050_sidebar_panel.md:
- Around line 211-214: Update the sidebar panel status contract around policy
and revision to define an explicit policy-error state when the policy record is
corrupt or unreadable. Specify a guarded repair flow that does not allow
revision-bound preference changes until a valid policy is available, and add
panel tests covering both corrupt and unreadable records.
- Around line 99-101: Reconcile the legacy endpoint’s response for v1 snapshots
without provenance with the promised availability-only behavior: preserve the
old sidebar’s update indicator without claiming installed-version provenance or
weakening provenance checks. Add a test covering an old sidebar against a new
server, and retain the documented handling for other snapshot states.
- Around line 209-211: Update the proposed ocx.desktop.update/2 result in the
status schema to represent stage readiness independently from check errors, then
revise the panel rules to use both fields. Ensure a network check failure can
coexist with a retained ready stage, allowing the panel to show the install
action and the check failure together.

Docs-only roadmap, reviewed at 8b22fe9b for factual accuracy against the audited base 35d5010f50 and current dev aaa3c20f3f. No blocking findings.

What I checked:

  • Citations: every path:line reference in the 14 files resolves and is in range at 35d5010f50. References that don't resolve are either proposed new files or files in the GOAT reference revision. I spot-checked the anchors the design depends on, and each points at what the plan says:
    • system-restart.ts:385 (automatic-restart temporary drain)
    • lifecycle.ts:131 (waitForTemporaryDrains) and :520 (drainAndShutdown)
    • release.ts:499 (main/preview, latest/preview)
    • release.yml:1051 / :1077 / :1151 / :1371
    • tauri.conf.json:68 (pinned updater key)
    • standalone-targets.ts:7
    • orchestrated-plan.ts:28 (installers it refuses)
    • updater-manifest.ts:30 (the AppImage/deb split)
    • release-version-sources.ts:153
  • Drift on dev: none of those files changed between the audited base and current dev.
  • Nightly vs existing preview clients: nightly reuses the -preview.* spelling, so the spelling-based --prerelease flag keeps nightly releases out of releases/latest/download/latest.json, and the plan forbids moving the latest/preview dist-tags. Existing stable desktop clients and @preview npm installs would therefore not receive a nightly. When 010 updates the prerelease classification at release.yml:1371, keep that property explicit and add a test for it.

Non-blocking, cross-plan:

  • Version spelling: 010 relies on the existing X.Y.Z-preview.YYYYMMDD[.N] shape. The telemetry plan in #8293 currently pins a version regex that rejects the .N ordinal; I left that on #8293.
  • Rollout identifier: if #8293 lands, keep the rollout bucket's random per-installation identifier separate from the telemetry install id. The telemetry id is deleted on decline, which would silently move the install to a different rollout bucket.

Not approving: the eight CodeRabbit threads on this head are still unresolved, and this is a plan, not evidence for the updater/signing units. Each of those units still needs its own security review, as the plan itself states.

Review comments at
@devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/030_desktop_engine.md:
- Around line 100-102: Define a safe bootstrap for verified pre-policy
installations that lack a high-water record, so normal writes and
update_panel_repair_policy can proceed without resetting or lowering the
counter. Specify how migration establishes a trustworthy, non-regressive
baseline from existing state, and add upgrade-path tests covering the bootstrap
and refusal when the installation or baseline cannot be verified.

Review comments at
@devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/040_package_preparation.md:
- Around line 83-86: Update the package preparation plan to define a guarded
migration for existing npm installations that lack policy and a revision
high-water mark, distinguishing a genuine legacy upgrade from deleted policy
state so lost state is not treated as a new install. Specify how the migration
establishes a fresh durable revision and exposes it to the policy routes, and
cover both legacy upgrades and deleted-policy recovery in the tests.
- Around line 83-86: Specify an authenticated package-owner repair flow for
missing or malformed package policy, since the ordinary PUT requires a valid
record. Require the repair to verify the observed state, reserve a fresh
revision under the mutation lock using the durable revision high-water mark, and
restore manual settings; preserve the existing safeguards against ambiguous
state and stale revisions.

Review comments at @devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/050_sidebar_panel.md:
- Around line 105-107: Update the desktop snapshot availability behavior for v2
snapshots with missing or nightly provenance so the old sidebar can still
display an available update using a display-only compatibility label. Keep that
label separate from installation authority and preserve the package endpoint
behavior when surface=desktop is absent. Test both provenance cases with the old
sidebar.
- Around line 219-224: Update the panel-status specification so effective
automatic-update state is reported independently of the valid policy settings,
with a bounded blocker reason when provenance or the revision high-water record
is unavailable. Specify recovery guidance for each unavailable-record case and
tests covering both, while preserving the existing policy validity and
observation semantics.
- Around line 237-239: Update the first-install policy flow around
update_panel_repair_policy to specify how an installation without verified
channel provenance creates a manual policy at a fresh revision through a guarded
operator action. Preserve the provenance guard, and define the expected behavior
and test coverage for initialization interruption so it cannot leave policy
creation ambiguous or unsafe.

Review comments at
@devlog/_plan/261107_auto_update_parity/080_child_initiated_updates.md:
- Around line 10-14: Update the Child/Home result flow around `/result` to
define how an already-committed update is settled after grant revocation, using
an authenticated settlement or owner-reconciliation path that reports the
outcome without restoring update authority. Add a test for revocation after
commit but before result delivery, verifying Home can resolve the update and
unblock retry even when polling has stopped and current grant or binding checks
no longer pass.

Define a safe policy bootstrap for existing installations.

The file map requests migration but does not exempt verified pre-policy installations from this guard. When an existing installation has no high-water record, normal writes and update_panel_repair_policy both refuse. Define a non-regressive bootstrap and test the upgrade path.

Define a guarded migration for existing package installations.

When an existing npm installation upgrades, it has no policy or revision high-water mark. The plan does not define how to initialize either without treating lost state as a new install. Define that migration and expose its revision to the policy routes. Test both legacy upgrades and deleted policy state.

Update the package preparation plan to define a guarded migration for existing
npm installations that lack policy and a revision high-water mark,
distinguishing a genuine legacy upgrade from deleted policy state so lost state
is not treated as a new install. Specify how the migration establishes a fresh
durable revision and exposes it to the policy routes, and cover both legacy
upgrades and deleted-policy recovery in the tests.

Specify package policy repair.

For a missing or malformed package policy, the planned PUT cannot restore preferences because it requires a valid record. The repair command in 050_sidebar_panel.md applies only to Desktop. Specify an authenticated package-owner repair that checks the observation, reserves a fresh revision under the mutation lock, and restores manual settings.

Preserve legacy availability for v2 snapshots.

When a v2 snapshot has missing or nightly provenance, the specified 409 hides an available update from the old sidebar. Preserve the availability projection with a display-only compatibility label, without treating that label as installation authority. Test both provenance cases with an old sidebar.

Define first-policy creation without channel provenance.

For a new installation without verified channel provenance, the plan defines neither a policy state nor a guarded channel-selection command. The panel may therefore be unable to create a policy. Specify a guarded first-install flow that creates a manual policy at a fresh revision, preserves the provenance guard, and tests initialization interruption.
