Before submitting

  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
  • I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/desktop

Steps to reproduce

  1. I get the blue update button in the bottom of the sidebar, click it
  2. The update seems to download
  3. Prompted to restart the app, accept
  4. The window closes but the app stays active
  5. I manually quit and restart the app
  6. I am still on the same app version & the blue update button is still there

Expected behavior

The app should correctly shutdown and re-launch on its own and launch with the update installed.

Actual behavior

The app does not re-open on its own & the version # stays the same

Impact

Major degradation or frequent failure

    Thanks for the detailed report. We believe this is fixed by PR #4721.
    

    The macOS failure matches the later updater-controlled relaunch fix. The lifecycle handler previously cancelled the updater quit, interrupting install and relaunch. It now accepts Electron before-quit-for-update and lets the following quit proceed.
    

    I'm closing this as fixed as part of an automated pass on all open issues. If this still happens in a current build that includes PR #4721, please reply with the T3 Code version and fresh logs or reproduction details, and we can reopen it.
