* Add safe skill freshness detection
* Accept observed copy-mode rail outcomes
* chore(skills): regenerate snapshot artifacts for the merged guide content
The rebase onto main picked up the reviewed guide fixes (#8624), so the
current manifest hashes and a new appended snapshot generation must
match those bytes; the registry keeps all prior snapshots so existing
installs classify as outdated rather than unrecognized.
* fix(skills): canonicalize snapshot file order and guard released history
Historical snapshots kept git ls-tree byte-order while the working-tree
walk and runtime observation use the sorted depth-first order, so any
future multi-file skill would misclassify older installs as unrecognized
and churn spurious registry revisions; all producers now share one
canonical order (no digest changes for today's single-file packages).
Also rejects executable files from shipped skills (Windows observation
cannot see execute bits, which would misclassify pristine Windows
installs) and adds an explicit append-only invariant for released
snapshots so a generation-logic change cannot rewrite them silently.
* fix(skills): throttle focus rescans and correct self-blocked placement copy
Every window focus re-read and re-hashed all installed packages, and the
nudge and panel each forced their own trailing rescan for one event; a
15s cooldown plus a shared invalidation latch keep one bounded scan per
event while install-change events stay immediate. Bundle artifacts are
now loaded once per run instead of re-parsed on every scan. A read-only
or otherwise unsupported outdated placement now explains that it blocks
itself instead of blaming a phantom sibling placement; the supported
topology set moved to shared so eligibility and copy cannot drift.
* feat(skills): move freshness surfacing to a lingering toast and update modal
The Skills page has been unreachable since its toolbox menu entry was
removed (#4535), so surfacing freshness there buried the feature behind
its own nudge. The nudge now lingers until acted on (ignoring it records
nothing; only the explicit close persists dismissal keys) and opens an
update modal hosting the pre-filled editable terminal, an honest
current/blocked summary, and the per-placement rows in a collapsed
Details section. A compact 'Check for skill updates' row in CLI settings
is the manual re-entry point. Skills page restored to main; design-doc
surfacing section records the venue decision.
* fix(skills): mount update dialog inside the link-routing provider and fold freshness into the setup rails
The dialog hosts a live terminal pane that requires the link-routing
preference context; mounted outside the provider it crashed the renderer
the moment an eligible update existed (caught by live QA — unit tests
mock the terminal). It now mounts inside the provider behind its own
recoverable boundary.
The separate 'Check for skill updates' settings button is gone: the
setup rails' own pill now carries freshness (Update available / Up to
date, falling back to Installed for blocked or unrecognized copies and
for non-local runtimes the local-only scan cannot vouch for), and
Re-check refreshes both installation detection and the freshness
inventory. Wired for the CLI, Orchestration, Computer Use, and
Per-Workspace Environments rails.
* fix(skills): use the sleek scrollbar style in the update dialog
* chore(skills): regenerate manifest for merged main (v1.4.142-rc.1)
Main advanced to 1.4.142-rc.1 with a v1.4.141 release, so the embedded
appVersion and release mapping were stale on the PR's merged tree. Only
appVersion and the new release entry change; no snapshot digests move
(released history preserved).
* fix(skills): bound and batch freshness work
* fix(skills): harden freshness integrity checks
* fix(skills): accept observed copy topology outcomes
* chore(skills): regenerate manifest for current main
* fix(skills): preserve update terminal lifecycle
* chore(skills): regenerate manifest for current main
* fix(skills): fail closed on stale freshness scans
* chore(skills): regenerate manifest for current main
* fix(skills): preserve freshness safety under focus churn
* feat(skills): group the update modal by skill with plain-language status
The Update skills modal now lists only skills that will update or that can't
(with why), grouped by skill with their install locations nested underneath —
no more one row per placement.
- Statuses collapse to "Update available" / "Can't update" at the skill level.
- A location's problem is a chip (Duplicate, Unrecognized, Inaccessible, Read
only, In a repo, External/Broken link, Plugin cache) with a hover tooltip
that explains what it means for the user and what to do.
- Up-to-date, unrecognized-only, and unreadable-only skills are hidden; a
current/unrecognized/etc. location only appears when it explains a shown skill.
- Copy is de-jargoned (drops "copy"/"placement"/"snapshot"/"official copy") and
names the mechanism as the npx skills update command, not "Orca's update".
- Rename the section to "Update details"; drop the unreachable newer-known state.
Renderer-only: derivation is a pure module (groupSkillFreshness) with unit tests;
no IPC or main-process change. Locales updated for all five languages.
* chore(skills): regenerate manifest for current main (v1.4.143-rc.0)
* feat(skills): don't let a duplicate block the update; clearer skipped copy
- Eligibility: a clean standalone duplicate no longer poisons the whole
name — the canonical copy still updates and the duplicate is flagged;
a duplicate-only skill stays unoffered.
- Update modal: "Can't update" -> "Skipped" with a reason-specific
sentence (edited/read-only/in-a-repo/plugin/link); chips describe only
the location state; footer "Check now" -> "Re-check".
- Settings sidebar nav pills go amber "Update available" when a skill is
updatable, matching the setup cards.
- Localized new strings across en/es/ja/ko/zh.
