feat(updater): pre-release update checker + version indicator in nav#16
Conversation
The updater previously fetched `/releases/latest/download/latest.json`, which only serves stable releases — pre-release users never saw updates. Additionally, `isNewer()` ignored pre-release suffixes entirely. - Rewrite `isNewer()` with `parseVersion()` supporting alpha/beta/rc suffixes and numeric suffixes (e.g. rc2) - Switch from latest.json to GitHub Releases API with filtering - Add `UpdateChannel` setting (auto/stable/pre-release) with UI selector - Auto-detect channel from current version when set to auto - Mark pre-release tags in CI release workflow - Comprehensive test coverage for version parsing, comparison, and channel-aware update checking Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
