The update flow no longer asks the user to click Download. When
checkForUpdate detects a newer version, autoDownloadUpdate() kicks off
session.defaultSession.downloadURL against the setup URL immediately.
will-download recognises the update URL and routes the file to a
fixed %TEMP% path (bypassing the visible downloads panel entirely),
streams updateDownloadReceived/Total into the chip via
emitUpdateAvailable, and flips updateDownloadState to "ready" when
the transfer finishes.
Chip states:
idle first render before the fetch starts — clickable to
trigger the manual download (kept as a fallback).
downloading "↓ 42% — 0.3.2" — no click, just progress.
ready "✓ Install 0.3.2 & restart" — one click.
failed fall back to the pre-0.3.1 explicit-download click.
install-update-now IPC: spawns the cached setup with /S (detached,
stdio ignored), then app.quit() 400ms later so the installer can
overwrite the running exe. Our nsis/installer.nsh detects an existing
Ariadne install via the HKLM registry and skips its Ariadne prompt on
upgrades, so the /S run is fully unattended.
The one-click flow eliminates two long-standing sources of confusion:
- "Download opens a different browser" — Theseus's default session
fetches the installer itself, not a URL handoff to shell.
- "Update requires multiple wizard clicks" — /S skips them.
Extensions aren't touched by this. The framework lives in
addons-host.js + sidebar-preload.js; add-ons themselves live in
%APPDATA%\Theseus Navigator\addons\<id>\ and are a separate layer.
New extensions ship by drop-a-folder, no browser release required.
Deployed: scp + sia-upload, verified 200 + 0.3.1 in the manifest.
