What Changed

Remote environments now get a provider update notice above the composer. When the open thread belongs to an SSH, relay, or T3 Connect environment whose Claude Code or Codex reports behind_latest and the server can run the update itself, a notice appears in the composer banner stack after the server-update notice: "Claude v2.1.263 is available on Mac Studio · Update now". Update now runs the existing server.updateProvider request for that environment, once per outdated provider, shows "Updating…" while the server reports the update as queued or running, and shows the server's failure message with Retry when it fails. Dismiss persists per environment, provider, and target version, so the notice returns only for a newer release.

  • apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerProviderUpdateNotice.tsx (new): one hook returning a ComposerBannerStackItem, wired next to the server-update item in ChatView.
  • ProviderUpdateLaunchNotification.logic.ts: a pure buildRemoteProviderUpdateNotice helper that reuses the launch popover's candidate filter, provider list formatting, and dismissal store. Unit tests cover candidate selection, dismissal and re-surfacing on a newer version, and the running, failed, and unchanged outcomes.
  • ProviderUpdateLaunchNotification.environments.ts: exports the existing isLocalConnectionTarget so the launch popover and the notice share one definition of "local" and never double-notify. The notice also waits for the environment to be connected.
  • One sentence in docs/user/install.md.

No contract, server, or polling changes. Installs the server cannot prove ownership of keep the manual command in Settings → Providers as today.

Why

Local environments already get a one-click provider update from the launch popover. Remote environments never did: the only signal that a remote Claude or Codex is outdated is the small arrow in Settings → Providers, behind the right connection and instance. With several always-on machines this is a daily chore, and machines silently fall behind. #3598 solved the same problem for the T3 server itself with a notice above the composer. This applies that pattern to provider CLIs, keeping the update user-controlled as decided in #2993.

Proposal: #10318.

UI Changes

Verified against a second t3 serve instance registered as a remote environment, with its Claude instance pointed at an outdated npm-managed install.

Note

Add provider update notice for remote environments in ChatView composer

  • Added useComposerProviderUpdateBannerItem and buildRemoteProviderUpdateNotice to show "Update now", "Updating", or "Retry" notices for remote environments with eligible provider updates
  • ChatView.tsx includes this notice in the composer banner stack after server/version-skew notices
  • ProviderUpdateLaunchNotification.environments.ts exports isLocalConnectionTarget to filter out local or disconnected environments
  • Risk: Existing server update notices retain priority over this new notice; the notice dispatches updates via serverEnvironment.updateProvider and disables actions during active runs by deriving status from provider instances in buildRemoteProviderUpdateNotice

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new production workflow that automatically surfaces and dispatches provider CLI updates for remote environments, with persistent dismissal and live retry/progress behavior. The scope and side effects exceed a bounded UI tweak, and unresolved Medium-severity review findings add further risk requiring human attention.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds remote-environment provider update notices, composer actions, ChatView integration, dismissal and update-state handling, tests, and installation documentation.

Changes

Remote provider update notices

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remote notice contract and builder
apps/web/src/components/ProviderUpdateLaunchNotification.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/ProviderUpdateLaunchNotification.logic.test.ts
Adds RemoteProviderUpdateNotice and buildRemoteProviderUpdateNotice. The builder groups candidates by driver, applies dismissal keys, reports running or failed states, and preserves retry notices. Tests cover these cases.
Composer banner hook
apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerProviderUpdateNotice.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ProviderUpdateLaunchNotification.environments.ts
Adds useComposerProviderUpdateBannerItem for connected remote environments. The banner dispatches provider updates, disables the action while running, and supports retry and dismissal behavior.
Chat composer integration and documentation
apps/web/src/components/ChatView.tsx, docs/user/install.md
Adds the provider update banner after the server-version notice, widens the nullable keybindingCommand input for script persistence, and documents the remote-environment update option.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 59c87

Remote provider update notices may reappear after dismissal when the eligible provider set changes, creating repeated update prompts for users. This behavior should be resolved before merge.

Store dismissal state per provider target version.

Line 819 creates one key for the complete candidate set. If another driver becomes eligible, or one driver updates, notificationKey changes. A provider version that the user dismissed then appears again.

Filter candidates with individual environmentId|driver:latestVersion keys. Persist every visible candidate key when the user dismisses the combined notice. Keep the combined key only for a display identity if needed.

Remote environments (SSH, relay, T3 Connect) never got the one-click
provider update that the launch popover gives local backends; the only
way to notice an outdated Claude or Codex on a remote machine was the
arrow in Settings → Providers. Show a composer notice for the active
thread's remote environment, after the server-update notice, that runs
the existing server.updateProvider request and mirrors the server
notice's running and failed states. Local environments keep the popover.

The backend marks a target queued the moment it accepts a dispatch and
refuses a second one for the same instance, so the notice no longer keeps
optimistic in-flight state of its own: progress, failure, and retry come
only from the published updateState. Candidate selection reuses
collectProviderUpdateCandidates, and a real failure now outranks an
update that ran but changed nothing.

The notice dedupes candidates to one representative per driver, so a
second instance of the same driver mid-update left the button enabled.
Progress and outcome now come from every provider of a candidate driver.

Closing for now. Main still excludes SSH, relay, and remote targets from the launch popover and has no automatic provider update, so the gap this addressed is real, but in practice the remote CLIs on my machines have been keeping themselves current (Claude Code's native installer self-updates), which takes most of the chore away. If it comes back, this branch rebases cleanly and can be reopened.
