Windows shell: title bar overlay height, sidebar spacer, quiet background update checks - #71

Conversation
… checks Three Windows-only papercuts found while testing the first packaged build. titleBarOverlay declared height 40 while the ChatView/GroupView header is 60 (px-5 py-3 around a 36px control row). Windows fills the overlay region with the caption buttons, so it painted a 40px strip and left a 20px dead band underneath, in the space pr-[148px] had already cleared. The sidebar reserved a 56px w-14 spacer for the macOS traffic lights whenever running under Electron, Windows included -- where there is nothing on the left at all, since the caption buttons overlay the chat header top-right. That was a blank gap at the top of the sidebar. Background update checks reported failures as a user-facing popup. They fire unprompted on launch and hourly, and fail for reasons the user cannot act on: no feed published for the platform yet, offline, a GitHub blip. Dismissing it did not help across relaunches, since dismissal is component state. Errors now surface only for checks the user actually asked for; automatic ones fall back to idle. Note both timers use () => check() -- passing check bare would feed the timer argument in as manual and report errors again. The error text itself was the raw electron-updater HTTP dump, headers and stack and all, including a misleading "authentication token" line when the real cause is simply a missing file. Named the two cases that actually occur and clipped the rest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Track the origin of each active updater operation.
downloadUpdate() emits error when a download fails. Because update:download does not mark the operation as manual, the automatic-check → download sequence resets to idle.
checkForUpdates() reuses an in-flight Promise. A timer can set userInitiated = false while a manual check is pending, which hides its error. Store the origin per active operation, mark manual downloads, and prevent timer checks from changing an active manual origin. Add regression tests for both sequences.

Restrict the spacer to macOS.
Line 498 applies w-14 to every Electron platform except Windows. This includes Linux and unknown platforms. Use an explicit darwin check so the 56px spacer is reserved only for macOS.
Proposed fix
- <div className={window.ogb?.platform === "win32" ? "" : "w-14"} />
+ <div className={window.ogb?.platform === "darwin" ? "w-14" : ""} />📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Apply the normalized error to the settings update row.
friendlyError() is used by UpdateBanner, but src/components/AppSettingsPanel.tsx still renders s.message directly in its status === "error" branch (Lines 52-99 in the supplied context). That view can still show the full HTTP response and stack trace. Move normalization into the updater state producer or share the helper with both components.

Sidebar.tsxrendered a 56pxw-14spacer for the macOS traffic lights whenever running under Electron — Windows included, where there is nothing on the left at all, since the caption buttons overlay the chat header top-right. Now macOS-only.Background update checks popped an error card
The updater checks 15s after launch and hourly, unprompted. Those checks fail for reasons the user can't act on — no feed published for the platform yet, offline, a GitHub blip — and each failure raised a popup.
Dismissing it didn't help across relaunches: dismissal is component state, so every launch mounted a clean component, checked, failed, and popped the card again. Persisting the dismissal would have papered over the real problem, which is that an unprompted background check has no business raising a user-facing error at all.
Errors now surface only for checks the user explicitly asked for via the button; automatic ones fall back to
idle.The message itself was the raw electron-updater HTTP dump — every response header, the stack, and a misleading "double check that your authentication token is correct" line when the actual cause is a missing file.
