What someone needs from this popover

The update popover opens when cmux finds a new build. The person reading it wants to know whether to install now or later, and three things decide that:

  1. What changed for me? Is there a fix I've been waiting for, or something new I want?
  2. Will it interrupt my work? Install and Relaunch restarts cmux, so a small update can wait for a natural break.
  3. How big a change is it? Two fixes or forty changes.

The popover on main shows Version: 0.65.0-nightly.3737789529201, Size: 236.5 MB, and Released: Oct 5, 2026. None of these answers the questions. The version is a build number, and the download size says nothing about what changed. To find out what changed, you have to open the release notes in a browser.

What this changes

This is an exploration, not a merge proposal. Main went back to the 0.64.25 popover twice (#16357, #17368), so the diff stays small and easy to compare against that baseline.

  • One readable line replaces the version row. Nightly: Nightly · Today at 12:20 PM · 23 changes. Stable: 0.65.1 · Oct 5. The Released date folds into this line.
  • Up to five changes appear inline, read from the feed item's <description>. ci: publish meaningful nightly release notes #17434 (scripts/ci/nightly_release_notes.py) already writes that summary into the nightly appcasts: up to five Title (#123) lines, newest first, then and N more and Infrastructure: N. The popover drops the (#123) suffix and does not count infrastructure PRs as changes.
  • "and N more" links to the item's full release notes (sparkle:fullReleaseNotesLink), falling back to the existing release-notes link.
  • The Size row is gone.
  • Skip, Later, and Install and Relaunch are unchanged, and so is the release-notes link at the bottom.

The stable feed has no <description> today, so stable shows only the readable line. When the feed lists no changes ("No product PRs merged since the previous published build."), the popover shows the line without a count and without a list.

Not changed: the pill, the pending-detection view (still shows Version: while the check finishes), and the other popover states.

Captures

Captured on fleet capture minis (macOS 26.3.1 and 26.4) on Oct 5.

Before (real release builds checking the real feeds):

Stable: 0.64.25 finding 0.65.0 Nightly: cmux NIGHTLY 3735594566602 finding 3737789529201
before stable before nightly

In the nightly still, another app's "Configuration Errors" alert on the shared mini covers the right edge. The Version, Size, and Released rows are still readable.

After (this PR at da39c2f, a tagged Debug build from the fleet):

Nightly, live feed (4 changes) Nightly, more than five changes Stable (feed has no description)
after nightly after nightly long after stable

How the "after" stills were made. Debug builds never run a manual Sparkle check (#6292), so the popover is forced with CMUX_UI_TEST_UPDATE_STATE=available. The second commit lets that forced item carry a feed item's description, pubDate, and length.

  • Nightly, live feed: the first item of the live nightly appcast, unchanged.
  • Nightly, more than five changes: a copy of that feed whose description I wrote in the exact ci: publish meaningful nightly release notes #17434 shape: five recent PR titles, and 18 more, Infrastructure: 21.
  • Stable: the live stable item for 0.65.0.

Known side effect: with the inline list, the popover's first focusable control is now the "and 18 more" link, so the initial focus ring lands there instead of on Skip/Later.

Tests

UpdateSummaryTests (CmuxUpdaterUI package):

  • the five-line nightly summary with and 18 more and Infrastructure: 7 gives five titles, 18 remaining, and · 23 changes;
  • an older nightly shows its day instead of "Today";
  • stable gives 0.65.1 · Oct 5;
  • the empty-range sentence and an infrastructure-only summary list nothing;
  • a short list has no remainder.

Localization audit

There are three new keys, all in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, translated for the 9 macOS locales (en, de, fr, ar, es, zh-Hant, zh-Hans, ko, ja):

  • update.popover.changeCount uses plural variations: one/other, plus many for fr and es, and all six Arabic categories. It is registered in scripts/localization-plurals.json.
  • update.popover.andMore
  • update.popover.channel.nightly is listed as an invariant channel name, matching cloudTree.device.build.nightly.

./scripts/localize-changes reports 0 parity errors. update.popover.size and update.popover.released are no longer used by this view; I left them in the catalog to keep the diff small.

Change titles come from PR titles, so they appear in English.

Summary by cubic

Replaces the update popover's version and size rows with one readable line and up to five change titles, so the person deciding between Install and Later can see what changed without leaving the app.

  • Nightly builds show Nightly · Today at 12:20 PM · 23 changes; stable shows 0.65.1 · Oct 5. The download size row and the Version:/Released: labels are gone.
  • Up to five changes come from the feed item's <description> (written by scripts/ci/nightly_release_notes.py); the (#123) PR suffix is stripped and infrastructure PRs are not counted.
  • and N more links to the full release notes when more changes exist.
  • Stable feed has no <description> today, so stable shows only the readable line; an empty or infrastructure-only range lists nothing.
  • Skip, Later, and Install and Relaunch are unchanged, as are all other popover states.

Adds UpdateSummary plus UpdateSummaryTests covering nightly/stable headlines, relative dates, change parsing, and remainder counts. Localization adds three keys (update.popover.changeCount, update.popover.andMore, update.popover.channel.nightly) for all nine macOS locales. Test support now lets the forced update item carry a feed description, publication date, and size via CMUX_UI_TEST_UPDATE_DESCRIPTION, _PUB_DATE, and _LENGTH, so captures can exercise the new summary.

Written for commit da39c2f. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Update popovers show a concise headline with the version or “Nightly” channel, release date, and number of changes.
    • Release notes display up to five change titles. When additional changes are available, a count indicates how many remain, with a link to the full notes when available.
    • Nightly release dates use relative wording for today and yesterday.
  • Localization
    • Update-summary labels and change counts are translated in supported languages, including plural forms.

The update popover showed the raw version string ("0.65.0-nightly.3737789529201")
and the download size, which do not help decide between Install and Later.
It now shows one line ("Nightly · Today at 12:20 PM · 23 changes", or
"0.65.1 · Oct 5" for stable), up to five changes from the feed's
<description> written by scripts/ci/nightly_release_notes.py, and
"and N more" linking to the full notes. The Size row is gone. Skip, Later,
and Install and Relaunch are unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The update popovers now show a summary headline and parsed release changes instead of version, size, and release-date rows. The summary includes localized labels, date formatting, and a remaining-change count.

Changes

Update Summary

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build and validate update summaries
Packages/macOS/CmuxUpdaterUI/Sources/CmuxUpdaterUI/UpdateSummary.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxUpdaterUI/Tests/CmuxUpdaterUITests/UpdateSummaryTests.swift, Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, scripts/localization-plurals.json, scripts/localization-allowed-omissions.json, Packages/macOS/CmuxUpdater/Sources/CmuxUpdater/TestSupport/UpdateTestSupport.swift
UpdateSummary parses release notes, formats version and date details, and lists up to five changes with a remaining count. Tests cover nightly and stable summaries, date formatting, and empty or short change lists. Localization data adds translated labels and plural forms. Test support reads optional appcast metadata overrides from environment variables.
Display summaries in update popovers
Packages/macOS/CmuxUpdaterUI/Sources/CmuxUpdaterUI/UpdatePopoverView.swift
UpdateMetadataView displays the summary headline and changes. When changes remain, it displays an “and N more” label and links to release notes when a URL is available. Both popover call sites use the revised view interface.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to da39c

Some update summaries may omit or misformat release-note titles, and an uncommon nightly item without its notes URL may link to a stable release. These are limited presentation issues; installing or updating remains available.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to da39c

The change primarily affects update presentation. Normal generated summaries constrain the inputs, but malformed change totals can terminate the app during rendering. An attacker’s ability to supply such metadata independently of release publishing has not been established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: The new feed-description consumer is not failure-contained: repeated valid Int counts, or a maximum count plus a title, can overflow during summary construction and terminate the host process. This is a conditional availability concern for update presentation, not a verified unauthenticated attack. The normal nightly producer does not generate these inputs; exploitation requires malformed metadata to reach an accepted appcast item.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated failure scope is the application process constructing the summary. Distribution of a malformed accepted feed could expose multiple clients consuming it, but independent feed-write authority and actual affected published items are unverified. The changed code does not grant installation or credential authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If a description containing repeated in-range “and N more” values reaches summary construction, checked arithmetic can trap. Conversion rejects individually out-of-range numbers but does not protect their sum. No active-content execution or independently reachable remote exploit was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Stable release configuration embeds an HTTPS feed URL and a Sparkle public key. The application receives items through Sparkle’s valid-update callback and rejects detected updates for dev/staging bundles. These controls predate the PR; their presence does not establish that description metadata is cryptographically authenticated.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Treat summary totals as advisory metadata: bound or safely accumulate them and fall back to a count-free presentation on malformed input, keeping update rendering from terminating the host process.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The diff introduces untranslated user-facing change titles. UpdatePopoverView.swift renders each parsed title with Text(change) (lines 91–96), and UpdateSummary.parse removes only the PR-number suffix. The existing nightly feed generator builds those titles directly from GitHub PR titles (scripts/ci/nightly_release_notes.py, lines 139–143), so the new inline text remains English. The three new catalog keys also cover only nine locales. The project lists 18 knownRegions, and existing update-popover keys include the additional supported locales bs, da, it, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, and tr; the new keys omit these locales in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings.

Resolution

Provide locale-specific change titles and select the matching locale’s titles before rendering them, or omit titles when translated content is unavailable. Add translated entries for bs, da, it, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, and tr to each new key in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, including the invariant Nightly value.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not link nightly changes to a stable release.

If a nightly item has no fullReleaseNotesURL, this fallback extracts 0.65.0 from 0.65.0-nightly.3737789529201. It links “and N more” to the stable v0.65.0 tag, not to the nightly changes. Use the appcast URL as the source of truth for nightly release notes. As a first migration cut, show unlinked text when that URL is absent, and cover that case with a test. This prevents other nightly versions from inheriting the same wrong destination.

As per coding guidelines, a fix must “name the invariant, source of truth, or state transition that makes the whole class impossible.”

official Sparkle 2.8.1 SUAppcastItem itemDescription generate_appcast description HTML appcast format

💡 Result:

For **Sparkle 2.8.1**, `SUAppcastItem.itemDescription` is the inline release-note text parsed from an appcast item’s `<description>` element. Sparkle treats it as HTML by default; `itemDescriptionFormat` can be `html` or `plain-text`, and is read from `sparkle:descriptionFormat`. ([sparkle-project.org](https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/api-reference/Classes/SUAppcastItem.html?utm_source=openai))

That’s distinct from `generate_appcast`’s HTML-file convention: if an `.html` file has the same base name as an update archive, the tool adds it as a **`sparkle:releaseNotesLink`**—an external release-notes URL, not embedded `itemDescription` HTML. ([github.com](https://github.com/sparkle-project/sparkle-project.github.io/blob/master/documentation/index.md?utm_source=openai))

The current official API docs and generator docs aren’t version-pinned, so they don’t independently establish every implementation detail for 2.8.1. The 2.8.1 changelog confirms that release, but doesn’t mention a change to these release-notes behaviors. ([github.com](https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/blob/2.x/CHANGELOG?utm_source=openai))

Sparkle 2.8.1 tag SUAppcastItem itemDescription XML description HTML SUAppcastItem.m

💡 Result:

In **Sparkle tag `2.8.1`**, `SUAppcastItem.m` reads the appcast `<description>` into `itemDescription`; it does not inspect the contents and convert HTML to plain text. The parser accepts either a structured description—with `content` and an optional `format`—or a legacy string. ([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/2.8.1/Sparkle/SUAppcastItem.m))

- For structured descriptions, `sparkle:descriptionFormat` is lowercased. `html`, `plain-text`, and `markdown` are accepted; if omitted, the format defaults to `html`. An unrecognized format logs a warning and also defaults to `html`. ([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/2.8.1/Sparkle/SUAppcastItem.m))
- A legacy string description is stored as-is, with format `html`. If there’s no description, both properties are `nil`. ([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/2.8.1/Sparkle/SUAppcastItem.m))
- Thus HTML release notes can be embedded in `<description>`—commonly inside CDATA—and `itemDescriptionFormat` indicates how the description should be treated. ([github.com](https://github.com/sparkle-project/sparkle-project.github.io/blob/master/documentation/publishing/index.md?utm_source=openai))

Accept only nightly change-title lines.

Sparkle 2.8.1 can pass HTML in an appcast <description> through as itemDescription. If UpdateSummary.parse receives a non-nightly line such as <p>Release notes</p>, it appends the line and counts it as a change. UpdatePopoverView displays both the line and the count.

The nightly producer always appends (#number) to product titles. Require that suffix before appending a title; this preserves generated nightly titles and excludes other description formats.

🐛 Suggested fix
-            let title = line.replacingOccurrences(of: #"\s*\(#\d+\)$"#, with: "", options: .regularExpression)
-            if !title.isEmpty {
-                titles.append(title)
-            }
+            guard let title = capture(#"^(.+?)\s+\(#\d+\)$"#, in: line) else { continue }
+            titles.append(title)

Update UpdateSummary.parse to append a change title only when the line ends with
the nightly `(#number)` suffix; extract and append the title preceding that
suffix, and skip lines that do not match.

…tion, date, and size

Debug builds never run a manual Sparkle check (#6292), so captures of the
update popover go through CMUX_UI_TEST_UPDATE_STATE=available. These
overrides let that item carry a real feed item's description, pubDate, and
length.

Yours to fix: UpdateSummaryTests.swift:43 (a file this PR changes). CI was cancelled before it finished.

CI stopped on da39c2f55d (run 37526826713 attempt 1): 1 code.

Job Verdict Why
macos / swift-package-tests code a test failed

Failures:

  • yours UpdateSummaryTests.swift:43 nightlyListsFiveChangesAndCountsTheRest(): Expectation failed: (summary.headline → "Nightly · Yesterday at 12:20 PM · 23 changes").hasPrefix("Nightly · Today") (job)
Matched log lines
macos / swift-package-tests: ✘ Test nightlyListsFiveChangesAndCountsTheRest() recorded an issue at UpdateSummaryTests.swift:43:9: Expectation failed: (summary.headline → "Nightly · Yesterday at 12:20 PM · 23 changes").hasPrefix("Nightly · Today")

Not re-run automatically: macos / swift-package-tests is not a machine failure.

Written by scripts/ci/classify_failures.py (ci-failure-attribution.yml); signatures are its SIGNATURES table. A machine verdict is the runner's fault, not this PR's; yours means the failing file is one this PR changes, also red on main that main's latest full suite fails the same way.
