feat: in-app version check & update from the web UI#23
Merged
Conversation
Add a "Version" row to the index and session menus that shows the current pi-web version and opens a popup to view the changelog, check for updates, and update + restart the server without dropping into the Pi TUI. - internal/updater: cached npm/GitHub version checker with 6h background poll, semver comparison, and dev/git-describe build detection (in-app update is disabled for local builds so it can't downgrade local work) - server: /api/version, /api/check-update, /api/update, /api/restart - app: pi-install + detached launchctl/systemd restart wiring - frontend: version menu row + changelog modal with update→restart→ reconnect flow; normalizes the leading "v" and shortens dev versions

Summary
internal/updaterpackage: in-memory cache with a 6h background poll, npm-registry version lookup (beta dist-tag) + GitHub Releases changelog, semver comparison (incl. prerelease precedence), andgit describe/-dirtydev-build detection so in-app update is disabled for local builds (avoids downgrading uncommitted work).GET /api/version,POST /api/check-update,POST /api/update(runspi install), andPOST /api/restart(detachedlaunchctl/systemdrestart, then exit). Two-step UI-chained flow: update → restart → reconnect-poll → reload.version.jscontroller + changelog modal (XSS-safe markdown-lite render); normalizes the leadingvand shortens dev versions in the row. Export/Gist snapshots are unaffected (their menus render empty).Testing
