- Linux (and any non-desktop platform): refuse instead of 'pkill claude',
which substring-matched running Claude Code CLI sessions and relaunched
the CLI, not a desktop app. New restart_supported() gates the button.
- macOS: wait (<=5s) for the old instance to exit before 'open -a Claude'
so the relaunch can't re-activate the dying process. Runs off the UI
thread via a RestartWorker.
- Windows: verify the Start-menu shortcut exists BEFORE taskkill, so an
MSIX/Store install is never killed without a relaunch path.

Closing the About dialog mid-check GC'd the dialog and the running
QThread with it -> 'QThread: Destroyed while thread is still running'.
A class-level keepalive set now holds each worker until finished;
stale results to a destroyed receiver are dropped by Qt.

All network calls are monkeypatched (urllib.request.urlopen) — no live
network in tests. Covers older/newer/equal comparisons, v-prefix,
differing-length tuples, malformed input on both sides, and
fetch_latest_release success/timeout/network-failure/malformed-response
paths.
- Add a real QMenuBar (Help -> About...).
- AboutDialog: app icon, name, version (core.__version__), and links to the
repo/issues/license opened via QDesktopServices.openUrl (system browser,
never in-app navigation). macOS unsigned-app note.
- "Check for updates" button + UpdateCheckWorker (QThread) runs
core.fetch_latest_release() off the UI thread; shows "up to date" or
"vX.Y.Z available" with a button to open the releases page. No binary
download, ever.
- Optional quiet startup auto-check, throttled to once/day via a QSettings
timestamp, off-thread, silent on failure, toggle lives in the About dialog.
Mocks subprocess.run/Popen and patches sys.platform per-OS branch (darwin,
win32, linux) -- never actually kills or launches anything. Covers: correct
command sequence per platform, pkill/taskkill exiting non-zero (nothing to
kill) is NOT treated as failure, a failed relaunch IS reported as failure,
and profile_targets_claude_desktop() correctly distinguishes Claude Desktop
configs from Claude Code / legacy settings.json profiles.
Includes the required regression case: rewrite a file with different
content, force the original mtime back via os.utime, and assert the
fingerprint still differs (because size changed).
MainWindow._loaded_mtime -> _loaded_stat (core.ConfigStat), populated
via core.config_fingerprint() at load/save time. The save-path stale
check now compares the full fingerprint (mtime AND size) instead of
bare mtime equality.
After a successful save, shows a 'Restart Claude Desktop' button next to
the status line. Only shown when the saved profile targets Claude Desktop
(core.profile_targets_claude_desktop) -- never for Claude Code, which has
no GUI process to bounce. Clicking it calls core.restart_claude_desktop()
and reports success/failure. The button hides again on further edits or
when switching/reloading profiles.
Two prior attempts to fix this line via a literal or -escaped
non-breaking space both silently reverted back to a no-op regular-space
replace during transcription. Using chr(0xA0) instead removes any
non-ASCII or backslash-escape character from the source line entirely.
Platform-abstracted restart: macOS uses pkill -x Claude + open -a Claude,
Windows uses taskkill + relaunch via the Start-menu shortcut, Linux uses
pkill claude + a detached Popen relaunch. Not finding a running process is
not an error -- only a failed relaunch is reported as failure.
Also adds profile_targets_claude_desktop() to distinguish Claude Desktop
profiles (claude_desktop_config.json) from Claude Code profiles, used to
gate the restart button in the GUI.
- Add `__version__ = "1.1.0"` as the single source of truth (matches pyproject.toml).
- Add parse_version()/is_newer_version() for numeric (never lexical) version
comparison, handling v-prefix, pre-release suffixes, and malformed input.
- Add fetch_latest_release(): reads the public Gitea releases API
(anonymous, no token) and returns {version, url} or None on any failure.
Never downloads or touches a binary — metadata only.
The previous commit accidentally normalized the non-breaking space
(U+00A0) in _normalize_unicode's replace() call to a regular space
during a copy/paste, turning that replace() into a no-op. Use an
explicit escape instead of the literal character so it can't
be silently corrupted again.
Bare mtime equality can miss a concurrent external write that lands
within the filesystem's mtime resolution (same-second writes), or
where the writer restores the original mtime. Add config_fingerprint()
returning a (mtime, size) ConfigStat pair; the stale-file check in
bcc.py now compares both fields instead of mtime alone. config_mtime()
is kept as-is (still used/tested independently).
The crashed/exited/stderr spawn tests used 0.3-0.5s timeouts. On a slow CI
runner, interpreter startup can exceed that, so the process is still starting
when the timeout fires, gets killed, and is misclassified "ok" (still running)
instead of "crashed"/"exited". Bump those three to 2.0s. The two "ok" paths
(sleep-60, stdin-block) stay at 0.3s since timing out there means success.
