* Add updater diagnostics and refine daemon teardown policy on quit
Introduce detailed logging, crash breadcrumbs, and telemetry tracing
events for the update quit-and-install lifecycle. This improves
visibility into macOS Squirrel.Mac state transitions, install guard
timeouts, and pre-quit cleanup failures.
Also, formalize and unit test the daemon teardown policy on quit to
explicitly keep the daemon alive (via disconnect) during updater and
normal quits so that daemon-backed PTYs are preserved for warm reattach.
* Remove updater lifecycle logging
Remove calls to `recordUpdaterLifecycle` across the auto-updater modules. This cleans up unused or redundant telemetry events during macOS update download, ready, and pre-quit installation phases.
* Remove redundant quit daemon teardown policy helper
Inline the daemon teardown check directly into the `will-quit` event
handler in the main process. The deleted `shouldShutdownDaemonForQuit`
helper simply returned `isDevParentShutdownRequested`, so using that
check directly simplifies the codebase and allows removing the redundant
policy and test files.
* Clarify PTY cleanup targets only local in-process PTYs
Update doc comments, test descriptions, and telemetry events to make
it explicit that only local, in-process PTYs are killed on quit.
Daemon-backed PTYs are preserved via daemon disconnect.
* Recover quit-for-update state on autoUpdater error events
- Reset update flags when the installer fails asynchronously via the
autoUpdater 'error' event (such as "no staged update" errors).
- Prevents the app from getting stuck in a half-transitioned state
where PTYs are killed and windows refuse to reopen.
- Migrate legacy updater warning logs and crash breadcrumbs to use
the structured recordUpdaterLifecycle diagnostic system.
* Simplify duplicate isMacInstallerReady() call in update-downloaded handl
Cache the result in a local variable so the deferred-status check reuses
the value from the log call instead of recomputing it.
* fix: tighten quit-and-install failure recovery
Only recover stuck quit-for-update flags after native quitAndInstall is
invoked and before install is committed. Defer PTY kill and close-listener
removal until after a successful native handoff so sync install failures keep
the session intact, and ignore post-commit updater errors for UI/mac state.
* fix: typecheck login-shell args check in shell-ready test
Avoid args.includes('-l') on a const tuple union that only admits '-i'
on one branch; compare args[0] instead so merge-base typecheck passes.

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
