Technical changes

1) Standalone updater app

• New updater/ Tauri project — a lightweight standalone window with logo, animated progress bar, and status text.
• Replaces the old PowerShell silent update script.
• Flow: main app launches UniCreate-Updater.exe with CLI args (--url, --name, --app, --pid), then closes. The updater waits for the main app PID to exit, downloads the installer with real-time progress, runs the silent install, and relaunches the app.
• PID polling uses Windows OpenProcess API (no more tasklist subprocess).
• Bundled as a resource alongside the main executable.

Impacted/new files:

• updater/ (new Tauri project)
• src-tauri/src/github.rs (replaced PowerShell script with updater launch)
• src-tauri/tauri.conf.json (added resources for updater exe)

2) YAML field parser fix

• parse_yaml_field now matches "Field: " exactly instead of prefix-matching.
• Prevents Publisher from matching PublisherUrl.

Impacted file:

• src-tauri/src/github.rs

3) InstallerSwitches complete output

• All switch fields (Interactive, InstallLocation, Log, Upgrade, Repair) are now written to YAML when provided.
• Removed #[allow(dead_code)] on InstallerSwitches struct.

Impacted file:

• src-tauri/src/yaml_generator.rs

4) Multi-segment package ID support

• Replaced splitn(2, '.') with split('.') + join("/") for building winget-pkgs paths.
• Correctly handles IDs like Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community → manifests/m/Microsoft/VisualStudio/2022/Community/.
• Applied to fetch_existing_manifest, check_package_exists, and submit_manifest.

Impacted file:

• src-tauri/src/github.rs

5) Dynamic version in TitleBar

• Added __APP_VERSION__ define in Vite config, reading from package.json.
• TitleBar now displays version dynamically instead of hardcoded string.

Impacted files:

• vite.config.ts
• src/vite-env.d.ts
• src/App.tsx

6) Update mode: auto-fill from new release

• In update mode, StepInstaller now applies version, releaseNotes, and releaseNotesUrl from the new GitHub release metadata.
• Removed stale releaseNotesUrl from applyExistingManifest to prevent old tag carry-over.

Impacted files:

• src/pages/StepInstaller.tsx
• src/stores/manifest-store.ts

7) Recent packages quick-select in Update mode

• Added clickable chips showing previously submitted package IDs in the Update search view.
• Clicking a chip auto-fills the input and triggers the search immediately.
• Chips are deduplicated from submission history.

Impacted file:

• src/pages/Home.tsx

8) Docs: PR labels as tooltip

• PR label badges on the site are now collapsed into a compact "N labels" chip.
• Hovering reveals all labels in a dropdown tooltip.

Impacted files:

• docs/app.js
• docs/styles.css

9) Version bump

• App version updated to 1.0.3.

Impacted files:

• package.json
• src-tauri/Cargo.toml
• src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
