There was no in-place update anywhere. The app never checked, downloaded or applied anything, and the only published release predates the whole sync arc — so `install.sh` would hand out a build with no sync in it. Installing from per-run CI artifacts, which is what's been happening, is not something an updater can point at: ephemeral, auth-gated, no stable URL. Two channels, switchable in the app: `stable` follows tagged releases, `dev` follows every green push. The feed is a Fabled-Git release asset, not a ThoughtSync server route. This reverses the lean recorded in task 1998, and the reason matters — a server-hosted feed can only reach a desktop that has linked a server, and local-first-with-no-server is the whole premise. An unlinked install has to be able to update itself. Each channel reads a `latest.json` on a release whose TAG NEVER MOVES. That's forced, not stylistic: Forgejo has no /releases/latest/download/<asset> route (verified — it 404s with no redirect), so "newest" cannot be named in a URL. `dev` carries the rolling bundles; `stable` is a pointer release holding only the manifest, whose URLs aim at the versioned release's assets, so nothing is duplicated. The manifest is written by a third job that runs after both bundle jobs. They build in separate workspaces and neither can see the other's output, but one manifest has to describe both platforms — generating it inside either job would silently omit the other, and a missing platform reads to a user as "no update available" rather than as a broken feed. It reads what actually landed on the release, so it can never advertise a bundle that failed to upload. Signing is gated on the secret existing, in the script rather than an `if:` (the secrets context isn't reliably available to step conditions). No key means no updater artifacts and no publish: a feed the app would refuse to verify is worse than no feed, because it looks like it works. CI stays green until the key lands. On Linux the updater can only replace an AppImage — a deb or pacman install is owned by its package manager and must never be overwritten underneath it. The app detects that case up front and says so, instead of failing halfway through with a permissions error nobody can read.
