Summary

  • split stable and experimental updater metadata so prereleases publish beta*.yml instead of latest*.yml
  • route opted-in clients to the beta update channel while regular clients stay on latest
  • replace the update prompt with the compact in-app toast UI, hide the HUD while it is open, and restore the HUD afterward
  • add localized update toast/settings copy, including the experimental update message

Testing

  • npm run i18n:check
  • npm run lint
  • npx tsc --noEmit
  • npx vitest run electron/updateChannel.test.ts
  • npm test
  • dry-run staged release metadata for prerelease and stable paths
  • previewed the experimental update toast in Electron

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an Experimental Updates option for receiving prerelease builds while keeping downgrade protection enabled.
    • Introduced a redesigned update notification window with progress details, experimental badges, clearer actions, and restart prompts.
    • Update notifications now appear consistently across platforms and restore the previous window state when dismissed.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Release updates now use the correct stable or experimental metadata.
  • Localization
    • Added update-related translations across supported languages, including settings and notification messages.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The update system now supports stable and experimental channels, publishes matching release metadata, and displays update states in a localized, cross-platform toast window. HUD focus and visibility are coordinated with the toast.

Changes

Experimental Updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update channel configuration
.github/workflows/release.yml, electron/updateChannel.ts, electron/updateChannel.test.ts, electron/updater.ts
Stable updates use latest metadata. Experimental updates use beta metadata with prereleases enabled and downgrades disabled.
Update state propagation
electron/electron-env.d.ts, electron/updater.ts, electron/main.ts
Update payloads carry experimental state and descriptions. Native notifications are replaced by update-toast state handling.
Cross-platform toast window lifecycle
electron/main.ts, electron/windows.ts, src/App.tsx
The transparent toast is bottom-centered on all platforms. The HUD hides while the toast is visible and restores afterward.
Localized update toast renderer
src/components/launch/UpdateToastWindow.tsx, src/components/launch/UpdateToastWindow.module.css
The toast uses translations, experimental badges, CSS module styles, simplified progress details, and fixed-delay dismissal.
Update settings and translations
src/components/video-editor/SettingsPanel.tsx, src/i18n/locales/*/launch.json, src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json
Update toast and experimental-channel strings were added or revised across supported locales.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to eac60

The update toast may appear at the top of the window instead of along the bottom edge when the HUD is hidden or unavailable. The change is otherwise mergeable, with owner awareness or follow-up needed for this localized placement issue.

226-226: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Place the fallback toast at the bottom.

When no HUD window exists, this branch places the toast at the top of the primary display. Use the same bottom-edge calculation as the HUD-display branch. This affects toast creation after the HUD is unavailable or destroyed.

Proposed fix
-		y: workArea.y + HUD_EDGE_MARGIN_DIP,
+		y: Math.round(workArea.y + workArea.height - UPDATE_TOAST_HEIGHT - HUD_EDGE_MARGIN_DIP),
