This PR successfully fixes issue #585 by preventing an unnecessary reload on first-time service worker installations. The implementation correctly distinguishes between first-ever activations and genuine updates by snapshotting navigator.serviceWorker.controller before registration. The fix is well-tested with comprehensive coverage including the new regression guard. All changes are clean, well-documented, and ready to merge.
You can now have the agent implement changes and create commits directly on your pull request's source branch. Simply comment with /q followed by your request in natural language to ask the agent to make changes.

) public/sw.js calls self.clients.claim() on activate, and register-sw.ts's controllerchange handler unconditionally reloaded whenever the controller changed while the page was visible. clients.claim() claims already-open clients immediately, not just future navigations, so a completely fresh browser context's very first page load fired controllerchange on that same first-ever page, not only on a version update for a returning visitor β every first-time visitor underwent one automatic, unprompted reload shortly after the initial page load. The reload's purpose is avoiding a missing-chunk failure, because activate already prunes the old version's cache by the time controllerchange fires β a risk specific to genuine updates. A first-ever install has no prior version to be stale relative to. Final architecture, converged through an extensive review cycle, each step verified with a negative control (revert -> confirm the new test fails -> restore -> confirm it passes) before being accepted: - Absolute-URL identity: ServiceWorker.scriptURL is always a fully resolved absolute URL per spec; swUrl is resolved to an absolute URL once before every comparison, so this app's own worker is identified correctly instead of never matching. - Foreign-worker filtering: on a shared origin (e.g. GitHub Pages), a broader-scoped worker's own controllerchange is ignored outright, verified by scriptURL before any queuing or classification. - Persistent installation history: a localStorage record keyed by this app's own absolute script URL is written from any positive evidence (an own controller already at page load, an own 'activated' registration, or a first genuine claim), so future page loads classify instantly without depending on live Service Worker API timing at all. - Event queuing during classification: a controllerchange arriving before classification is final -- during getRegistration(), during its failure-recovery window, or during register() itself -- is queued, not guessed at, and replayed once classification is final. - getRegistration()-failure recovery: if getRegistration() rejects, classification is deferred rather than finalized on zero evidence, and recovered from register()'s own idempotent result once it resolves. If register() also rejects, classification finalizes to a safe first-install default so no controllerchange is left queued forever. - One-shot exemption: the first-install classification is consumed after its first use, so a long-lived tab that outlives its own first-install claim still reloads correctly when a later, genuine update takes over. A full state-transition audit (persistent marker x controller-at-setup x getRegistration() outcome x prior-registration state x register() outcome x controllerchange timing) was performed before this architecture was accepted as final. Scope: register-sw.ts's controllerchange handler and its pre-register() detection logic, only. Non-goals: per #585's own "Scope for a fix" section, this closes only the production reload decision. Hardening tests/e2e/helpers.ts's startup helpers against an unprompted navigation is intentionally left to #532, which remains open. A pre-existing, unrelated finding (flushLatestStateThenReload's timeout branch racing an in-flight flush) was verified byte-identical against base main and is out of scope -- a variant of the residual class already tracked in #518. A narrow, compound-timing residual -- two tabs racing the very first-ever activation of this origin's service worker so closely that one tab's live evidence reads as "already installed" -- requires real cross-tab coordination and is tracked in #614, not attempted here. tests/unit/registerSwUpdateFlush.test.ts grew from 10 to 29 tests, covering first-ever install, one-shot consumption, force-refresh with an existing 'activated' registration, concurrent tabs observing each other's in-progress registration, absolute-vs-relative scriptURL scoping, foreign-worker exclusion, controllerchange events queued mid-getRegistration() and mid-register(), persistent-record backfill from positive live evidence, classification recovering from register()'s result when getRegistration() rejects, and the compound double-failure safe default.

* chore(release): bump version to v1.28.4 Patch release reconciling release-truth documentation with everything merged to main since v1.28.3 (62 commits / ~40 PRs, audited against live GitHub state, not assumed from commit subjects): - fix: PWA first-install unprompted reload (#585, PR #613) - fix: shared-origin service-worker cache-read isolation (#514, PR #612) - fix: Factory Reset could reboot into Settings instead of Welcome Portal (PR #592) - fix: preserve-first desktop corruption recovery (PR #542) and a distinct filesystem-I/O recovery action (PR #545) - fix: intentionally cleared project metadata no longer reappears (PR #546) - a11y: Welcome/Home dashboard WCAG AA contrast + reduced-motion cascade fix + default appearance preset change (#565, PR #609); ManuscriptEditor contrast (PR #560) - security: fflate ZIP64-parsing DoS override (PR #595); routine dependency floor bumps (PR #587, #561, #562, #594) - docs: R-15 secure desktop storage design contract admitted (PRs #564, #580, #581, #582, #584) β design only, no implementation yet - tests: visual regression testing repaired β baselines were directory listings, not the application (PR #610); IDB reset-quiescence hardening (PR #596); WelcomePortal E2E navigation made locale-independent (PR #590) Everything classified as pure internal/CI-governance churn (PR-size exception plumbing, dual-graph tooling, toolchain pins) is omitted from CHANGELOG.md as non-user-facing. Version bumped via the existing sync scripts (sync-tauri-version.mjs, sync-sw-version.mjs) across package.json, src-tauri/Cargo.toml, src-tauri/tauri.conf.json, src-tauri/Cargo.lock, AGENTS.md, and public/sw.js's APP_VERSION. CHANGELOG.md and README.md use the established release-candidate marker convention (<!-- release-candidate: v1.28.4 -->) so the dated entry and version badge are truthful before the v1.28.4 tag exists; both markers are removed in a follow-up post-release truth-sync once the tag and GitHub Release are published, matching the v1.28.2/v1.28.3 precedent. TODO.md's Current Sprint section was archived (its final "release cut remains open" bullet is now resolved β v1.28.2 and v1.28.3 both shipped) and replaced with the actual current sprint: this release cut followed by the R-15 desktop at-rest encryption priority program. AUDIT.md is intentionally not touched here β its release-gate entry requires real post-merge CI/CodeQL run evidence that doesn't exist until after this PR merges and the tag is cut, matching how every prior release's AUDIT.md entry was written (a follow-up commit, not part of the release-prep PR itself). * docs(release): correct premature done-marker on the v1.28.4 TODO item TODO.md's Current Sprint marked the release cut as done (checked 'v1.28.4' release cut, reconciling ... AUDIT.md truth ...) while this same PR's own Non-goals section correctly states AUDIT.md is not touched here, and while no tag, GitHub Release, or release artifacts exist yet. Corrected to in-progress language naming PR #615 directly and listing what actually remains pending (tag, release, artifacts, post-release AUDIT.md evidence). * docs(release): correct R-15 gate language and credit PR #596's real fix Two corrections from review, verified against live evidence before fixing: 1. TODO.md's Current Sprint claimed R-15 desktop at-rest encryption implementation was being prioritized now. docs/native/DESKTOP- MIGRATION-ROADMAP-REV3.md explicitly forbids pulling Wave 3/4 R-15 implementation ahead of unresolved Wave 2 authority prerequisites, and CORE-MIGRATION-LEDGER.md row 10 records S5_IMPLEMENTATION_READY=NO. Corrected to state R-15 design is complete but implementation stays gated behind the still-open Wave 2 prerequisite (ledger row 9: the project state-shape compatibility adapter), which is what this sprint's desktop-storage work actually is. 2. CHANGELOG.md listed PR #596 only as generic IDB test hardening under Tests. Verified against its actual diff: deleteDatabase() previously resolved on a genuine onerror or an onblocked event as if deletion succeeded, so wipeAllAppData() could report Factory Reset complete while a database was never actually deleted. onerror now rejects; onblocked waits for the connection to close before giving up. This is a real production data-integrity fix, not test hardening, and now has its own Fixed entry.

public/sw.jscallsself.clients.claim()onactivate, andregister-sw.ts'scontrollerchangehandler unconditionally callsflushLatestStateThenReload()whenever the controller changes while the page is visible.clients.claim()claims already-open clients immediately, not just future navigations β so a completely fresh browser context's very first page load firescontrollerchangeon that same first-ever page, not only on a version update for a returning visitor. Every first-time visitor, and every fresh E2E browser context, underwent one automatic, unprompted reload shortly after the initial page load.Root cause
The reload's documented purpose is avoiding a missing-chunk failure, because
activatealready pruned the old version's cache by the timecontrollerchangefires β a risk specific to genuine updates. A first-ever install has no prior version to be stale relative to.Fix (converged through many rounds of review β each closing a narrower race or correctness gap than the last)
The final architecture, after the classification logic went through several rejected intermediate designs (each broken by a real, reproduced counter-example, each superseded fix verified with a negative control β revert β confirm the new test fails β restore β confirm it passes):
ServiceWorker.scriptURLis always a fully resolved absolute URL per spec;swUrlis resolved to an absolute URL once (new URL(...).href) before every comparison, so this app's own worker is identified correctly instead of never matching (an earlier relative-path comparison would have silently misclassified every returning visitor).controllerchangeis ignored outright β verified byscriptURLbefore any queuing or classification β so it can never consume the one-shot exemption or write this app's own install record.localStoragerecord keyed by this app's own absolute script URL is written from any positive evidence (an own controller already at page load, an own'activated'registration, or a first genuine claim), so future page loads classify instantly and correctly without depending on live Service Worker API timing at all.controllerchangearriving before classification is final β whether duringgetRegistration(), during its failure-recovery window, or duringregister()itself β is queued, not guessed at, and replayed once classification is final.getRegistration()rejects, classification is deferred rather than finalized on zero evidence, and recovered fromregister()'s own idempotent result once it resolves β so a force-refreshed returning visitor hitting a transient lookup failure is still classified correctly instead of misclassified as a first install. Ifregister()also rejects, classification finalizes to a safe first-install default so no controllerchange is left queued forever.A full state-transition audit (persistent marker Γ controller-at-setup Γ
getRegistration()outcome Γ prior-registration state Γregister()outcome Γcontrollerchangetiming) was performed before the architecture above was accepted as final β see the last two commits' messages for the two gaps it found and closed, and what it confirmed was already correct.Scope
register-sw.ts'scontrollerchangehandler and its pre-register()detection logic, only.Non-goals
Per #585's own "Scope for a fix" section, this closes only direction 1 (the production reload decision). Direction 2 (hardening
tests/e2e/helpers.ts's startup helpers against an unprompted navigation) is intentionally left to #532, which remains open and already namescontrollerchange-driven reload as one of several candidate mechanisms in its own still-unresolved startup/harness nondeterminism investigation β this PR does not attempt to close or reopen #532.A pre-existing, unrelated finding (
flushLatestStateThenReload's timeout branch racing an in-flight flush) was verified byte-identical against basemainand is out of scope here β dispositioned in review as a variant of the residual class already tracked in #518, not fixed in this PR.A narrow, compound-timing residual β two tabs racing the very first-ever activation of this origin's service worker so closely that one tab's live (or, in a genuinely first-ever wave, not-yet-persisted) evidence reads as "already installed" β cannot be closed with a local, snapshot-based fix; it requires real cross-tab coordination (e.g. a
BroadcastChannel-based install-wave announcement), which is new architectural surface, not a targeted bugfix. This is tracked in #614, not attempted here.Regression coverage
tests/unit/registerSwUpdateFlush.test.tsβ grew from 10 tests to 29 across the review cycle, covering: first-ever install (no registration), one-shot consumption, force-refresh with an existing'activated'registration, concurrent tabs observing each other's in-progress (installing-only or'activating'-but-not-yet-'activated') registration, absolute-vs-relativescriptURLscoping, foreign-worker exclusion,controllerchangeevents queued mid-getRegistration()and mid-register(), persistent-record backfill from positive live evidence (including the failure-recovery path), classification recovering fromregister()'s result whengetRegistration()rejects, and the compound double-failure safe default. Every fix above was verified with its own negative control before being accepted.Validation
