windows: the desktop app no longer opens a console window for every command it runs (#54) — it is linked as a GUI program and has no console, so each console CLI it started (devin auth status and models list, devin acp for every Devin turn, claude, codex, cursor-agent and grok probes and runs, grok login) was given a new console by Windows, and a Windows Terminal window with it, some every few seconds while the app sat idle. Every command magpie runs is now made through internal/proc, which starts it with CREATE_NO_WINDOW when magpie has no console of its own: the child gets a console without a window, and its output, which magpie always pipes back, arrives as before. A magpie run in a terminal (magpie serve, the TUI, the desktop app started from one with a command) has one, and its children share it as they did, so Ctrl+C there still reaches them. The relaunch after an update keeps its DETACHED_PROCESS, added to rather than replacing the flags it was made with, and a test fails on any command made with os/exec directly, so a new one can't bring the windows back
update: the download shows how far along it is — percent and megabytes in Settings — a dropped connection is tried twice more, and a failure says why instead of only that it failed (#21)
update: What's new leaves out the Chinese notes' 安装 section too (#649) — every release's notes end with an Install section that StripInstall takes out, but it matched only the English heading, so with magpie in Chinese each release in What's new repeated 从 usemagpie.ai 下载… StripInstall now knows the heading in each language the notes come in (Install, 安装, 安裝, インストール); a bullet that merely mentions 安装 stays. TestStripInstall covers it and fails on the old code.
site, gui: release notes survive GitHub limiting usemagpie.ai, and a failure to get them says so, apart from a release without any (#661) — /api/notes answered 503 {"error":"no releases"} with Cache-Control public, max-age=300 whenever GitHub's API limited the worker's shared IP, and /api/latest fell back to the release page's redirect with notes "" (kept 300 s too), so the update window had nothing to show. The worker now: never keeps an error (503 is no-store); takes the notes from GitHub's releases feed (releases.atom, not API-limited) when the API says no, turning its HTML back into the markdown the app draws and putting back the <!-- lang:zh --> marker GitHub strips (before the first Chinese heading after an English one); keeps the last whole answer for 30 days in the edge cache and serves it (merged with the feed's newer releases) when GitHub fails; keeps a degraded answer 60 s instead of 300; and sends a GITHUB_TOKEN secret to the API where one is set (none is yet). In the app, /api/whatsnew says error (and the release page's url) when the notes couldn't be had, and Settings' What's new opens a dialog saying "Couldn't load the release notes" with Try again and "Open the release page" (through the app), or "No release notes provided." with the release page and no retry for a version with none, instead of a passing toast; en/zh. Tests that fail on the old code and pass: site/worker.test.mjs (API limited: notes from the feed in either language, briefly kept; all of GitHub down: 503 no-store, then the last whole answer; the token sent), TestWhatsNewTellsFailureFromNone, and whats-new-failed.test.cjs (WebKit, en/zh: failure with retry and link, retry showing the notes, none without retry, no click moves the page). The feed parser was tried on the real releases.atom (v0.1.730–739: English and Chinese split as the API's bodies are). go vet, builds (darwin, GOOS=linux, GOOS=windows), go test -tags nogui -count=1 ./... under a temp HOME, node --test site/ and whats-new.test.cjs pass.
web: magpie web knows its version and updates itself as the app does — the badge's restart puts the new version in and runs it in the old one's place with the same arguments and key, so the open page reloads onto it (#111); routing: a gateway served by magpie serve, which has no window, is told apart from another magpie's window, and the routing view says to stop it so this magpie serves the gateway and shows routing live (#110)
update: a restart to update from the open window (Windows, Linux) opens the window again, on the tab it was asked from, instead of the tray icon alone (#275 Aimer779: 设置页更新重启后主窗口消失,只剩托盘) — RelaunchBinary always started
magpie tray, autostart's argument, so the new version came up as a tray icon however the update was asked for; the Mac reopens its .app and was fine. The window's Update pill and Settings' "Restart to update" send the tab they're on, the new process starts as magpie gui <tab>; the tray menu's Restart to Update brings the window back if it was open and keeps to the tray if not; autostart stays tray. magpie gui <tab> / magpie app <tab> open the window on that tab, and hand it to a magpie already running. The MAGPIE_REPLACES handover is unchanged: the new process waits for the old one before its single-instance lock. Tested with TestRelaunchArgs and TestRelaunchBinaryArgs (a script in magpie's place is started with gui settings <pid> / tray <pid>); go vet, go build (GUI and -tags nogui, GOOS=linux, GOOS=windows), go test -tags nogui ./... pass. Not tried: a real restart to update on Windows or Linux.
