WinTUI v2.3.0 adds visual override indicators, fixes multi-version uninstall, and includes a major codebase quality pass with new typed enums and 30+ new tests.

Highlights

  • Override indicator (⚙) — packages with per-package rules (scope, architecture, elevate, ignore) now show a warm-yellow gear glyph in the package list. The same override details appear in both the summary panel (while browsing) and the full detail panel, styled with a dedicated override color. Press p from the package list to jump straight into the rules editor.
  • Multi-version uninstall — packages with multiple installed versions (e.g. side-by-side installs) are now handled correctly. WinTUI detects duplicate entries at staging time, collapses them into a single batch item, and passes --all-versions to winget. Previously the second uninstall command would fail with 0x8A150066.
  • Search results dismissal — press Esc to clear search results and return to the normal installed package list. Previously search results could only be cleared by entering an empty search or selecting every result.
  • Stale search error fix — a successful search now clears any prior error banner. Previously a failed search would leave its error message stuck in the top bar even after a subsequent successful search.

Code Quality

  • Workspace split — the 1900-line workspace.go has been split into five focused files: workspace.go (types and update router), workspace_view.go (rendering), workspace_actions.go (user actions), workspace_search.go (search input), and workspace_batch.go (data loading and batch execution).
  • Typed enums — string-based dispatches for action types, install scope, install mode, and CPU architecture are now typed string aliases with named constants, providing compile-time safety.
  • Test coverage — 30+ new tests covering workspace batch lifecycle (modal transitions, cancellation, incremental updates), search/queue flows (toggle, stale discard, display ordering), and navigation (cursor movement, data message state transitions, detail panel open/close).
  • Test safety — TestMain now backs up and restores settings.json and cache.json so that go test no longer overwrites the developer's real configuration.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed stale search error banner persisting after a successful search.
  • Fixed uninstall of packages with multiple installed versions failing with 0x8A150066.
  • Fixed go test silently overwriting user's settings.json and cache.json with test defaults.
  • Added friendly error message for winget error 0x8A150066 (multiple uninstall failed).

Notes

  • The p key now works from both the package list (opens detail panel directly into the rules editor) and the detail view (as before).
  • The Esc key progressively backs out of state: search input → search results → normal list.
  • No breaking changes to settings, CLI flags, or keybindings from v2.2.x.
