What Changed

If this app is older than the connected server, T3 Code no longer shows the version-skew Server update available banner. The desktop sidebar already has the app update indicator. The previous banner offered a command that would downgrade the newer server.

If the server is older, the existing Server update available flow is unchanged.

Why

Connecting a slightly older desktop app to an already-updated remote server showed Server update available and a downgrade command. The server was fine; the client update belongs in the sidebar updater.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Made with Grok 4.6 in T3 Code.

Note

Hide server update banner when the client app is older than the server

  • Adds isClientBehindServer in versionSkew.ts to detect when the client version is behind the server using semantic version comparison.
  • resolveServerConfigVersionMismatch now returns null when the client is older than the server, suppressing any prompt to downgrade the server.
  • Updates updating.md to clarify that the warning only appears when the server is older, and that users should update via the desktop sidebar when the app is behind.

Macroscope summarized a1ba518.


Note

Low Risk
Narrow change to when version-skew warnings appear; avoids misleading downgrade guidance with low blast radius outside Connections/chat banners.

Overview
When the connected server is newer than this app, resolveServerConfigVersionMismatch now returns no mismatch, so chat and Connections stop treating that situation as “update the server” (which could imply a downgrade).

isClientBehindServer uses shared semver comparison to detect an older client. Server-behind skew is unchanged: an older server still produces a mismatch and the existing server-update flows still apply.

User docs in updating.md now say warnings and server-update actions apply when the server is older; if this app is older, use the desktop sidebar update path and T3 Code will not move the server backward.

This PR changes when the version skew banner is shown to users - hiding it when the client is older than the server. The behavioral change affects user experience, and the review comments raise valid questions about whether users will have sufficient guidance to update in this scenario.

Silent desktop update failures

Medium Severity

installUpdate, downloadUpdate, and checkForUpdate are now fire-and-forget with no result or rejection handling. Failed checks (for example when auto-updates are unavailable), download errors, and install errors no longer surface toasts, so the client-behind action can appear to do nothing.

@t3dotgg please review, i think i saw you last update these banners.

A newer remote server was advertised as a server update, with a command that would downgrade it. If the client is behind, do not show that banner; the desktop sidebar already has the app updater.

Client-behind skew silently dropped

Medium Severity

resolveServerConfigVersionMismatch returns null when the client is older than the server, which hides the composer and Connections skew UI entirely. The PR title and description call for offering a client update (Reload on web, Download/Install on desktop), but nothing replaces the suppressed banner. Web has no sidebar updater, and the desktop updater tracks the release feed—not the connected serverVersion—so users can stay silently skewed with no affordance to catch up.

Closing in favor of #6637. Same bug, much smaller fix: hide the server-update banner when this app is older instead of adding a new app-update action.

Client-behind skew silently dropped

Medium Severity

resolveServerConfigVersionMismatch returns null when the client is older than the server, which hides the composer and Connections skew UI entirely. The PR title and description call for offering a client update (Reload on web, Download/Install on desktop), but nothing replaces the suppressed banner. Web has no sidebar updater, and the desktop updater tracks the release feed—not the connected serverVersion—so users can stay silently skewed with no affordance to catch up.

What Changed

If this app is older than the connected server, T3 Code no longer shows the version-skew Server update available banner. The desktop sidebar already has the app update indicator. The previous banner offered a command that would downgrade the newer server.

If the server is older, the existing Server update available flow is unchanged.

Why

Connecting a slightly older desktop app to an already-updated remote server showed Server update available and a downgrade command. The server was fine; the client update belongs in the sidebar updater.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Made with Grok 4.6 in T3 Code.

Note

Hide server update banner when the client app is older than the server

  • Adds isClientBehindServer in versionSkew.ts to detect when the client version is behind the server using semantic version comparison.
  • resolveServerConfigVersionMismatch now returns null when the client is older than the server, suppressing any prompt to downgrade the server.
  • Updates updating.md to clarify that the warning only appears when the server is older, and that users should update via the desktop sidebar when the app is behind.

Macroscope summarized a1ba518.


Note

Low Risk
Narrow change to when version-skew warnings appear; avoids misleading downgrade guidance with low blast radius outside Connections/chat banners.

Overview
When the connected server is newer than this app, resolveServerConfigVersionMismatch now returns no mismatch, so chat and Connections stop treating that situation as “update the server” (which could imply a downgrade).

isClientBehindServer uses shared semver comparison to detect an older client. Server-behind skew is unchanged: an older server still produces a mismatch and the existing server-update flows still apply.

User docs in updating.md now say warnings and server-update actions apply when the server is older; if this app is older, use the desktop sidebar update path and T3 Code will not move the server backward.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs human review

This PR changes when the version skew banner is shown to users - hiding it when the client is older than the server. The behavioral change affects user experience, and the review comments raise valid questions about whether users will have sufficient guidance to update in this scenario.

Silent desktop update failures

Medium Severity

installUpdate, downloadUpdate, and checkForUpdate are now fire-and-forget with no result or rejection handling. Failed checks (for example when auto-updates are unavailable), download errors, and install errors no longer surface toasts, so the client-behind action can appear to do nothing.

@t3dotgg please review, i think i saw you last update these banners.

A newer remote server was advertised as a server update, with a command that would downgrade it. If the client is behind, do not show that banner; the desktop sidebar already has the app updater.

@t3dotgg please review, i think i saw you last update these banners.

A newer remote server was advertised as a server update, with a command that would downgrade it. If the client is behind, do not show that banner; the desktop sidebar already has the app updater.

What Changed

If this app is older than the connected server, T3 Code no longer shows the version-skew Server update available banner. The desktop sidebar already has the app update indicator. The previous banner offered a command that would downgrade the newer server.

If the server is older, the existing Server update available flow is unchanged.

Why

Connecting a slightly older desktop app to an already-updated remote server showed Server update available and a downgrade command. The server was fine; the client update belongs in the sidebar updater.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Made with Grok 4.6 in T3 Code.

Note

Hide server update banner when the client app is older than the server

  • Adds isClientBehindServer in versionSkew.ts to detect when the client version is behind the server using semantic version comparison.
  • resolveServerConfigVersionMismatch now returns null when the client is older than the server, suppressing any prompt to downgrade the server.
  • Updates updating.md to clarify that the warning only appears when the server is older, and that users should update via the desktop sidebar when the app is behind.

Macroscope summarized a1ba518.


Note

Low Risk
Narrow change to when version-skew warnings appear; avoids misleading downgrade guidance with low blast radius outside Connections/chat banners.

Overview
When the connected server is newer than this app, resolveServerConfigVersionMismatch now returns no mismatch, so chat and Connections stop treating that situation as “update the server” (which could imply a downgrade).

isClientBehindServer uses shared semver comparison to detect an older client. Server-behind skew is unchanged: an older server still produces a mismatch and the existing server-update flows still apply.

User docs in updating.md now say warnings and server-update actions apply when the server is older; if this app is older, use the desktop sidebar update path and T3 Code will not move the server backward.
