Review-only mirror of the upstream PR on GeiserX/CashPilot.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Self-updates now check that the required updater image is available before proceeding. If it is missing, the app attempts to download it first.
    • When the image cannot be retrieved, self-update stops before starting the helper and reports the issue, including proxy refusals.

… works behind the socket proxy

containers.run pulls a missing image only when Docker answers "No such
image". Behind the socket proxy the create is refused first with the
proxy's own 404 ("owner policy could not resolve image"), so on any host
that did not already hold docker:27.5.1-cli the Update button failed with
"Docker refused to start the update helper". The worker now checks for
the image and pulls it before the preflight.

Walkthrough

The self-update flow now checks for the pinned updater image before resolving Compose configuration. It pulls a missing image and handles proxy refusals and other pull failures. Tests cover image lookup and pull outcomes.

Changes: Updater Image Availability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Image check and self-update flow
app/orchestrator.py, tests/test_update_feature.py
The orchestrator checks for the pinned image before Compose configuration is resolved. It pulls a missing image, logs lookup errors before attempting the pull, and handles proxy refusals separately from other pull failures. Tests cover these paths and confirm that pull failures prevent container startup.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Lookup failures from the proxy are not handled as refusals.

If client.images.get raises an APIError that is a proxy 403, the code logs a warning and then tries the pull. The pull usually fails the same way and surfaces a refusal, so this is safe. The lookup warning is noise, though, and it can hide the real cause.

Optional: check proxy_refusal(exc) here and raise SelfUpdateUnavailable immediately. This is low value, so skip it if you prefer the current behavior.

Bound stalled updater image pulls.

If Docker stalls during this pull, the worker thread can remain blocked indefinitely. After the UI returns 504, the pull can resume and launch the helper later. Add a stall timeout that still allows slow pulls making progress.

A stalled pull is already bounded: the worker's client comes from docker.from_env(), whose 60 s read timeout ends a pull that sends nothing for that long, while a slow pull that keeps sending progress goes on. What was missing was the handling: a read timeout is a requests exception, not an APIError, so it would have surfaced as a 500. It now reports as an outage and starts nothing (test_a_pull_that_stalls_is_an_outage_and_starts_nothing). A pull that keeps progressing past the UI's 120 s wait can still start the helper after the UI has answered 504. That was already true before this change, because containers.run pulled the image by itself, so it is out of scope here. The optional point is done too: a proxy refusal on the image check is now raised as the proxy's reason.

@geiresx The new test confirms that an injected ReadTimeout is handled. It does not verify that an idle pull times out.

In the locked Docker SDK 7.2.0, images.pull() calls the low-level pull, which explicitly passes timeout=None. The client’s 60-second default therefore does not bound this pull. The stall-timeout finding remains open; please verify the timeout with an idle pull.

I understand that the late start after a 504 is out of scope for this PR. Would you like a follow-up issue for that risk?
