fix(desktop): show newest changes in nightly previews

[t3dotgg]

Nightly update previews took the first eight entries from each GitHub release. GitHub lists those changes oldest first, so the preview hid the newest changes. Contributor credits could also affect the preview count.

This change selects the newest real changes after it removes contributor credits. It adds exact counts and links for changes and releases that do not fit in the compact preview. Each release also links to its exact GitHub page when all changes fit.

Verification: 85 focused desktop and web tests passed. Contracts, desktop, and web typechecks passed, along with changed-file lint. The current GitHub releases Atom feed for the affected nightly produced the newest two changes first, eight displayed changes, a total of ten, and no contributor-credit count. No live-client verification was performed.

Made with GPT-5.6 Sol in the Codex harness.

Note

Low Risk
Changes are confined to desktop update normalization, IPC contract fields, and sidebar UX; no auth or data-path impact beyond richer release-note metadata.

Overview
Nightly desktop update previews now surface the newest real changelog lines (GitHub lists oldest first) and stop before contributor / full-changelog boilerplate so credits do not eat the preview slots.

Desktop updater pipeline extends normalizeDesktopUpdateReleaseNotes to return omittedReleaseCount and per-release totalItems, cap at six releases and eight items per release, and thread those fields through DesktopUpdateState and the update reducers.

Sidebar UI replaces the nightly release-notes tooltip with a hover/focus popover (SidebarUpdateReleaseNotes) that links each shown release to its GitHub tag, labels hidden changes with exact counts, and links trimmed older releases to the releases history page via shared openDesktopUpdateReleaseNotes / getDesktopUpdateReleaseHistoryUrl helpers.

User docs add a short section describing nightly preview limits and linking behavior.

Note

Fix desktop nightly previews to show newest release notes first

• normalizeDesktopUpdateReleaseNotes returns releaseNotes and omittedReleaseCount, ordering items newest-first and limiting to MAX_RELEASE_NOTE_GROUPS and MAX_RELEASE_NOTE_ITEMS_PER_GROUP.
• SidebarUpdatePill renders a hover and keyboard-triggered popover using the new SidebarUpdateReleaseNotes component instead of the old tooltip.
• SidebarUpdateReleaseNotes shows compact summaries, per-release links, and a link to the history page via DESKTOP_RELEASE_HISTORY_URL.
• Adds openDesktopUpdateReleaseNotes to open release URLs externally and report toast errors on failure.
• Behavioral Change: DesktopUpdateState and DesktopUpdateReleaseNote schemas add omittedReleaseCount and totalItems. extractReleaseNoteItems uses early break for contributor and changelog sections rather than filtering them.

This popup is now interactive (release links plus a scrollable list), but the trigger keeps Base UI's default closeDelay of 0, so the pointer has to cross the 4px sideOffset gap between the pill and the popup with no grace period. The old tooltip carried an explicit pointer-events-auto comment precisely so "the release notes stay open (and scrollable) when the cursor moves into them"; that affordance is not carried over.

The convention here is that hover popovers whose content the pointer must reach set a close delay — ContextWindowMeter uses closeDelay={onCompact ? 150 : 0} with a test named "keeps the hover popover open while the pointer moves to the compact button", and PullRequestDetailPanel/ConnectionsSettings use 120/100. The ones that omit it (ThreadTerminalDrawer, GitActionsControl) are pointer-inert tooltips. Consider setting one here too.

Overview
Nightly desktop update previews now surface the newest real changelog lines (GitHub lists oldest first) and stop before contributor / full-changelog boilerplate so credits do not eat the preview slots.

Desktop updater pipeline extends normalizeDesktopUpdateReleaseNotes to return omittedReleaseCount and per-release totalItems, cap at six releases and eight items per release, and thread those fields through DesktopUpdateState and the update reducers.

Sidebar UI replaces the nightly release-notes tooltip with a hover/focus popover (SidebarUpdateReleaseNotes) that links each shown release to its GitHub tag, labels hidden changes with exact counts, and links trimmed older releases to the releases history page via shared openDesktopUpdateReleaseNotes / getDesktopUpdateReleaseHistoryUrl helpers.

User docs add a short section describing nightly preview limits and linking behavior.

Note

Fix desktop nightly previews to show newest release notes first

• normalizeDesktopUpdateReleaseNotes returns releaseNotes and omittedReleaseCount, ordering items newest-first and limiting to MAX_RELEASE_NOTE_GROUPS and MAX_RELEASE_NOTE_ITEMS_PER_GROUP.
• SidebarUpdatePill renders a hover and keyboard-triggered popover using the new SidebarUpdateReleaseNotes component instead of the old tooltip.
• SidebarUpdateReleaseNotes shows compact summaries, per-release links, and a link to the history page via DESKTOP_RELEASE_HISTORY_URL.
• Adds openDesktopUpdateReleaseNotes to open release URLs externally and report toast errors on failure.
• Behavioral Change: DesktopUpdateState and DesktopUpdateReleaseNote schemas add omittedReleaseCount and totalItems. extractReleaseNoteItems uses early break for contributor and changelog sections rather than filtering them.

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes the existing nightly update flow across the desktop parser, shared IPC state, and sidebar UI, adding a new interactive release-notes popover and GitHub release-history links.

This popup is now interactive (release links plus a scrollable list), but the trigger keeps Base UI's default closeDelay of 0, so the pointer has to cross the 4px sideOffset gap between the pill and the popup with no grace period. The old tooltip carried an explicit pointer-events-auto comment precisely so "the release notes stay open (and scrollable) when the cursor moves into them"; that affordance is not carried over.

The convention here is that hover popovers whose content the pointer must reach set a close delay — ContextWindowMeter uses closeDelay={onCompact ? 150 : 0} with a test named "keeps the hover popover open while the pointer moves to the compact button", and PullRequestDetailPanel/ConnectionsSettings use 120/100. The ones that omit it (ThreadTerminalDrawer, GitActionsControl) are pointer-inert tooltips. Consider setting one here too.

Nightly update previews took the first eight entries from each GitHub release. GitHub lists those changes oldest first, so the preview hid the newest changes. Contributor credits could also affect the preview count.

This change selects the newest real changes after it removes contributor credits. It adds exact counts and links for changes and releases that do not fit in the compact preview. Each release also links to its exact GitHub page when all changes fit.

Verification: 85 focused desktop and web tests passed. Contracts, desktop, and web typechecks passed, along with changed-file lint. The current GitHub releases Atom feed for the affected nightly produced the newest two changes first, eight displayed changes, a total of ten, and no contributor-credit count. No live-client verification was performed.

Changes are confined to desktop update normalization, IPC contract fields, and sidebar UX; no auth or data-path impact beyond richer release-note metadata.
