Fixes

  • macOS in-app update now installs. Previously the updater would download, show "Restart & update", relaunch, and stay on the old version. Root cause: bundled libraries shipped read-only, so the macOS updater (Squirrel.Mac / ShipIt) could not clear the download quarantine attribute and aborted the install. Libraries are now writable, with a build guard so this cannot regress. If you are stuck on 2.4.1 or 2.4.2, updating to 2.4.3 applies cleanly.
  • Updater errors are now logged instead of silenced, so future update problems are diagnosable.

Install

Existing installs on 2.4.1 or later update in place: Update now downloads, Restart & update installs. Your keys and history are untouched.
