Brainstormed with the user (ULTRATHINK context). Sub-project 1 of 4 in the
v5+ roadmap (production polish → cloud/licensing → plugins → perf+a11y).
Spec covers:
- Two-channel distribution: GitHub Releases (default) + ConcreteInfo self-hosted
- Light, skippable first-run wizard (theme + update channel + starter template)
- Auto-migrate v4.4.1 settings with v4 backup and toast on success/failure
- Local crash dump capture (no third-party) with a CrashReportModal
- Non-blocking update banner with user-confirmed restart-to-install
- IPC allowlist additions for updater:* and crash:*
- GitHub Actions CI extension (latest.yml generation, PR test suite)
Defers to v5.1: code signing, Sentry, delta updates, beta tracks.
After user review and approval, write the implementation plan via the
writing-plans skill.
