Merged
Conversation
- Automatically checks for updates 3 seconds after app startup - Tracks download progress with percentage - Persists dismissed versions in sessionStorage per-session - Returns update state, version info, and install/dismiss handlers - Non-blocking - app remains fully functional during check
- Beautiful glassmorphic floating banner that slides up from bottom - Shows new version number and current version - Live download progress bar during update installation - Update button triggers installation and auto-relaunch - Dismiss button hides banner and remembers choice per-session - Elegant animations with fade and slide transitions - Positioned as fixed overlay that doesn't interfere with app UI
- Import and initialize useAutoUpdater hook on app startup - Render UpdateBanner component as portal-level overlay - Banner appears outside all modals and dialogs - Positioned in ErrorBoundary root for maximum visibility - Completes end-to-end auto-update flow from check to install
