feat: beta channel -- per-merge dogfood with pre-swap data safety (goal 0100) - #222
Merged
Conversation
…nge backup guards (goal 0100) Extends 0082's channel-aware updater with a third channel: a beta-stamped build targets a rolling GitHub prerelease (SemVer-tagged per build, since wails3/pkg/updater's TagName comparison ranks any non-SemVer or non-increasing tag as never-newer) instead of the release channel's /releases/latest. Owner-mandated data-safety addendum: DownloadAndInstallUpdate now takes a backup through an injected seam before every swap and aborts on failure, and a launch-time version-stamp guard (backupsvc.SnapshotOnVersionChange) covers the source-channel pull+rebuild path where no updater ever runs. Release and beta assets now share one naming/checksum script (scripts/package-macos-zip.sh) so the two channels can never drift.

Every green merge to main now publishes a rolling beta pre-release (SemVer prerelease tags — the vendored updater's semver comparison makes a bare rolling tag structurally unrankable, caught by reading its source; one active beta at a time). Beta-stamped installs see Update now via the same digest-verified path as release.
Data safety (owner-mandated — the beta install runs on real data):
One-time first install (after this merges and the first beta publishes): download the zip → drag mill.app to Applications → first launch: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway (ad-hoc signed, not notarized; or
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/mill.app). Every merge after that is Settings → Updates → Update now.Real end-to-end swap is the registered manual check (0082's class) — verify on the first published beta.
