What changed

Three release-pipeline defects that 0.4.0 made visible. A published release is
immutable, so a corrected build needs a version.

Fixed

  • Windows was never offered a self-update. latest.json for 0.4.0 carried
    darwin and linux targets and no windows-x86_64, so every Windows install
    polled forever. Tauri signs the installer directly now, so the upload's
    *-setup.nsis.zip.sig glob matched nothing — and if-no-files-found: error
    stayed quiet, because it asks whether any pattern matched and the .exe
    did. The signature uploads under either name and the job fails loudly when
    neither exists.
  • The site had no download URL it could hold on to. Tauri puts the version
    in every filename, so releases/latest/download/<name> had nothing stable to
    redirect to and the page resolved the release through the GitHub API at
    runtime — an API call subject to CORS, rate limits and JavaScript, to answer
    a question that does not change between releases. Each installer is published
    a second time under a version-independent name.
  • The site served a build from before September while every workflow stayed
    green.     Cloudflare Pages' git integration decided whether to build from
    "Build watch paths", a dashboard-only setting that is not in this repository
    and had stopped matching site/**; a build it skips reports as skipped,
    which reads like "nothing to do". The site deploys from Actions now, gated on
    the checks in the same file.

Install

Duct Desktop runs the backend locally as a sidecar. No account is required and
no data leaves your machine — you bring your own model API key, stored in the
OS keychain.

macOS (Apple silicon) — download the .dmg, then drag Duct to
Applications. On first launch macOS may say the app cannot be verified; open it
once with right-click → Open, or clear the quarantine flag:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Duct.app

Windows — download and run the .exe installer. SmartScreen may warn on a
new signing identity; choose More info → Run anyway.

Linux — download the .AppImage, then:

chmod +x Duct_0.4.1_amd64.AppImage && ./Duct_0.4.1_amd64.AppImage

Existing installs update themselves — the app polls latest.json in this
release and verifies the signature before applying anything.
