An overlapping update-available callback can replace a completed download with its older snapshot, leaving the updater at available with no downloaded version. Reduce callbacks against current state and keep the read, reduction, write, and subscription publication under the existing mutex.

This is a focused fix for an obvious lost-update bug under the small-fix exception in CONTRIBUTING.md. It changes updater state handling only.

Proof: the existing deterministic Deferred/Clock regression was rerun against upstream main 95cb068c10a6: it fails with available instead of downloaded. It passes after the rebase, retaining the completed download through resumed availability and late progress. All 104 updater tests (six files) and check:changed against that base pass, including all 47 DesktopUpdates service tests. Verification exercises the real Effect service and state subscriptions with an updater harness; no packaged Electron UI was launched.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at bd7f8be

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Updater callbacks now apply state changes under the existing mutex, preserving completed downloads when callbacks overlap. The change retains existing update eligibility and installation safeguards without changing product defaults.

Walkthrough

Desktop updater state transformations and callback reductions now use a shared serialized update path. A regression test covers an availability callback that resumes after download completion and verifies that the completed state persists through a later progress event.

Changes: Desktop updater state

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared serialized state updates apps/desktop/src/updates/DesktopUpdates.ts	updateStateEffect runs state reads, effectful transformations, writes, and publication under the mutex. updateState adapts pure transformations, and setState delegates to it.
Callback reductions and regression test apps/desktop/src/updates/DesktopUpdates.ts, apps/desktop/src/updates/DesktopUpdates.test.ts	Availability, no-update, progress, and download-completion callbacks use serialized updates. Availability and completion logs depend on the resulting state retaining the reported version. Progress updates preserve a downloaded state. The regression test checks that an overlapping availability callback does not replace a completed download, including after a later progress event.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, the change, scope, and verification. It states the bug: an overlapping update-available callback can replace a completed download with an older snapshot, leaving the updater at available with no downloaded version. It describes the fix: reduce callbacks against current state and keep the read, reduction, write, and subscription publication under the existing mutex. Scope cites the small-fix exception in CONTRIBUTING.md and says the change touches updater state handling only. Verification lists a deterministic Deferred/Clock regression that fails on upstream main and passes after the change, 104 updater tests across six files, check:changed, and the 47 DesktopUpdates service tests. The description does not follow the template headings (Problem, Change, Scope, Verification), and it has no visible title in conventional commit form. It also does not state whether the author used an agent in the required trailer, though it names the model in the body. These gaps are minor. The described problem, fix, and evidence are all present.

- Around line 1036-1038: Guard the serialized updateState callback before
calling reduceDesktopUpdateStateOnDownloadProgress: apply progress only while
the current state represents an active download, and leave a completed
"downloaded" state unchanged when late progress arrives. Extend the overlap test
to cover progress queued before completion but applied afterward.

merged current main with a merge commit, without rebasing. kept the serialized updater reductions and main's same-version offer guard inside the mutex. unchanged state now skips subscription publication and ipc broadcasts, preserving main's duplicate-offer behavior. the overlap regression waits for callback completion and verifies that completed downloads survive delayed availability and late progress without another notification.

blacksmith verification: vp run check:changed 031ee2dd2b8097f6eb8a8f79cf133356623ef1c7 passed format, lint, knip, affected-package typecheck, and all 50 service tests. vp test run apps/desktop/src/updates/*.test.ts passed all 108 tests across six files. the existing duplicate-offer test reproduced the merge regression before this fix. the earlier bot finding about late progress was already addressed and remains covered.

head: 2cd41f5103ca09d5fcec2d09b6bebfab81134946. changes remain confined to the two updater files. packaged electron download/install was not exercised on this linux vm.
