The default install fails with could not find a stable release; set T3CODE_VERSION once 100 nightlies are newer than the latest stable release. install.sh and install.ps1 read one page of 100 GitHub releases, and nightlies ship a few times a day.

Takeover of #22490 by @only21mil, who found and reported the bug and wrote the first fix. They are credited as co-author on the commit.

For stable, the install scripts now read https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/releases/latest with Accept: application/json. release.yml marks a release latest only for plain X.Y.Z, and this is a github.com page, so newer nightlies cannot hide it and it does not use the anonymous API quota. The stable tag pattern still applies to the result. For nightly and preview, the scripts page the releases API, up to 10 pages, and stop on an empty page. The newest nightly is always on page 1. Preview can sit behind a page of nightlies. install.sh passes the header to both curl and wget. Nothing reads npm. Not changed: t3 update already pages the API up to 10 pages, and the mobile update check already uses /releases/latest on main. The desktop app (electron-updater) and the marketing download page are not affected. T3CODE_VERSION still skips the lookup.

Proof: scripts/install.test.ts runs the real install.sh against a local GitHub fixture with 100 nightlies on page 1. Stable must resolve from /releases/latest, and preview must resolve from page 2. Both cases fail with main's installer and pass here. I ran vp test run scripts/install.test.ts and vp run check:changed (all pass). I also ran install.sh against live GitHub with curl and with wget only. Stable resolved to 0.1.1, and nightly and preview resolved to the newest builds. I ran the install.ps1 lookup block in pwsh 7.6.7 against live GitHub and the same fixture: all three channels resolved, and a missing preview stopped on the empty page. Not checked: Windows PowerShell 5.1, and a real archive download.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The installer lookup fix is narrowly scoped and includes a local regression test for stable, nightly, and preview release resolution. The new test also adds a file-level nodeBuiltinImport:off static-analysis suppression, so manual review is required.

📝 Walkthrough

The shell and PowerShell installers now use GitHub’s latest-release page for stable versions and scan paginated release API results for nightly and preview versions. The shell fetch helper supports an optional Accept header. A Linux regression test covers stable and preview lookup.
