Code Flow v0.1.0-preview.3

Code Flow now includes desktop update controls and uses its existing stacked-layers logo throughout the app.

What changed

• Check for updates in Settings → General and the native Code Flow menu, plus a sidebar notice when a newer version is available.
• Background update checks on launch and every six hours, with matching Apple Silicon/Intel installers and separate stable/preview selection.
• Native download and restart support for future signed/notarized releases, including active-agent confirmation and backend shutdown before installation.
• The stacked-layers logo replaces the old blue logo in the desktop icon, browser tab, documentation and README.
• Guided connections for other devices and project invitation links.
• Shared browser capture stays aligned with the selected tab after opening and closing tabs.
• Retryable update failures, sandboxed desktop IPC, and tests for update selection, restart protection and accessibility.

Download

• Apple Silicon DMG
• Intel DMG

These are unnotarized developer previews, matching the existing release channel. macOS may block them. This preview's update button opens the matching installer; automatic app replacement requires signed/notarized releases. Older desktop versions need one manual upgrade to get the update controls. Quit Code Flow before replacing it in Applications. Settings and history in ~/.codeflow are preserved.

The macOS app requires macOS 13+, Git 2.38+, an installed and signed-in coding CLI, and Chrome or Edge for the shared browser. Node is bundled.

The attached npm tarball is usable directly; publishing the npm registry's preview tag is a separate channel. SHA-256 files accompany the installers and tarball. See the installation guide.
