Address helix4u's review:
- finish() now delivers the outcome BEFORE publishing it: mac bundle swap
and the linux relaunch gate run first, then the result file, marker
removal, and the shim event -- the app launch itself goes last so it
can't race the result write. A gated/skewed linux install (AppImage/
deb/rpm, broken sandbox helper) surfaces its message in the result file
AND holds the shim window open with it instead of closing on a false
'Opening Hermes...'.
- mac swap is transactional with a checked rollback; a failed install
restores the previous bundle and the result says so (exit 7 when even
rollback fails). Failed 'open' rewrites the result truthfully.
- linux gate is an exact port of the deleted update-relaunch.ts logic:
anchored path-segment match on <root>/apps/desktop/release/linux-unpacked,
chrome-sandbox absent = namespace build = fine, present = root+setuid
required, with the real opt-outs (ELECTRON_DISABLE_SANDBOX, --no-sandbox
among replayed args, or the Desktop vouching) instead of the invented
HERMES_DESKTOP_NO_SANDBOX. collectRelaunchArgs/sandboxFallbackFromEnv
live in updater-process.ts again; the Desktop passes filtered launch
args (after --) and --relaunch-cwd so a deep-link or --no-sandbox
launch survives the update.
- result/status JSON strings are escaped (git permits '"' in branch
names) and the result write is atomic (tmp + rename).
- coverage: resolvePosixScriptHandoff + ported helpers in
updater-process.test.ts (19 pass); repro.sh gate / npm run
update:repro:gate asserts the whole gate matrix and round-trips a
hostile branch name through the result JSON.
