+# Context Pack: G2 #841 SDK auto-update
+
+## Run Metadata
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Run ID | `beta11-cli--orchestrator/slices/g2-841-autoupdate` |
+| Branch | `feat/desktop-frontend-841-autoupdate` |
+| Draft PR | [#849](https://github.com/rickylabs/netscript/pull/849) → `feat/desktop-frontend` |
+| Current phase | `gate` — implementation complete, awaiting supervisor IMPL-EVAL dispatch |
+| Archetype | `4 — Public DSL / Builder` with integration/runtime subtype gates |
+| Scope overlays | none |
+
+## Current State
+
+Slices 1 and 2 received Tier-A substantive review `PASS`. Slice 3 is implemented and green: the
+public consumer fixture, README/doctest, full JSR evidence set, full SDK test directory, and all
+static/fitness gates pass with only explicitly preserved unrelated baselines.
+
+## Completed
+
+- Read all six named skills, activation/run-loop/lane policy, Plan-Gate/protocol, archetype profiles,
+  relevant doctrine, debt registry matches, and templates.
+- Read live #841, #840, #456, #457, PR #822 RFC, rev 10 plan, parent beta.11 plan/brief, and live
+  upstream #35939/#35269.
+- Used `deno doc` before focused SDK/telemetry source reads.
+- Confirmed branch baseline `ca72db14` equals `feat/desktop-frontend` and `origin/main` at start.
+- Ran current SDK JSR/doc baseline and recorded the one unrelated transitive doc-lint diagnostic.
+- Locked three implementation slices and the complete Design checkpoint.
+
+## Implementation State
+
+- Plan artifact commit `c7e61dcc` is pushed.
+- Draft PR #849 targets `feat/desktop-frontend`, is draft, carries `Closes #841`, has all five
+  required labels, and is assigned milestone 13 (`0.0.1-beta.11`).
+- `Plan & Design — READY FOR REVIEW` was posted on PR #849.
+- Plan-Gate: `PASS` delivered by supervisor session
+  `86d308d5-c761-4e5d-a41f-8be959bc46d2` on 2026-07-18.
+- PR lifecycle label transitioned from `status:plan` to the sole `status:impl` label.
+- S1 commit `d2321cae` received Tier-A sign-off.
+- S2 full SDK test directory passed 28/28 alongside all scoped quality gates.
+- S2 commit `35f3b726` received Tier-A sign-off.
+- S3 consumer compile, README doctest, full-export lint, raw publish dry-run, and no-text-import
+  preflight are complete.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Commit and push slice 3 with the explicit refspec.
+2. Post `IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE` with the final evidence table on PR #849.
+3. Stop; the supervisor dispatches the separate-session IMPL-EVAL.
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+| Decision | Source | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Option A native updater for thin client | live #840/#841 and PR #822 | Supersedes rev 10 only for this tier. |
+| One SDK subpath seam | #841 + parent plan | Apps never consume old/new Deno globals. |
+| Required app-config key/manual URL | plan D3 | Public key and Windows link are trusted compile-time inputs. |
+| Old and proposed namespace support | #35939 | Proposed property is `appVersion`, not `desktopVersion`. |
+| Windows manual event | #35269 + plan D8/D9 | One capability constant later flips classification. |
+| E2E delegated | #457 | No native packaging/apply/rollback proof in this PR. |

+| `packages/sdk/src/auto-update/mod.ts` | modified | JSR landing example uses `startAutoUpdate`. |
+
+## Gates
+
+| Gate family | Current status | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Static | final PASS | Full SDK 28/28; consumer compile; scoped check/lint/fmt all zero findings. |
+| Fitness | final PASS_WITH_BASELINE | Quality clean; focused doctrine WARN=0; root architecture exit 0 with unrelated repository baselines. |
+| Runtime | slice 2 PASS at unit boundary | Complete structural/policy/platform matrix; native E2E remains #457. |
+| Consumer | PASS | Public subpath fixture and README doctest compile. |
+| JSR | PASS_WITH_BASELINE | Auto-update docs 0; raw dry-run clean; no text imports; unrelated transitive doc baseline preserved at 1. |
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- None that force implementation rework. All deferred decisions are explicitly marked safe in
+  `plan.md`.
+
+## Drift and Debt
+
+- Drift: rev 10 superseded for native thin-client authority; upstream version property rename;
+  local Deno patch version differs from skill prose.
+- Debt: no new/deepened SDK debt planned. Preserve the unrelated transitive doc-lint baseline.
+
+## Commits
+
+- `c7e61dcc` — `docs(harness): plan SDK auto-update seam` (research, plan, Design checkpoint,
+  baseline evidence, and pending evaluator placeholder).
+- `b03c0c07` — `docs(harness): record G2 plan handoff` (PR #849 and supervisor handoff state).
+- `d2321cae` — `feat(sdk): prove native release target contract` (S1, Tier-A PASS).
+- `35f3b726` — `feat(sdk): prove native update orchestration` (S2, Tier-A PASS).
+- Slice 3 commit is the next PR commit; its exact hash is recorded in the final PR comment, which is
+  the canonical commit trail.

+# Drift Log: G2 #841 SDK auto-update
+
+Append-only record of facts diverging from carried-in plans, RFC revisions, doctrine/tooling prose,
+or upstream expectations.
+
+## 2026-07-17 — Owner Option A supersedes rev 10 updater authority
+
+- **What:** Rev 10 says the snapshot updater is authoritative and `Deno.autoUpdate` must never be
+  the authority. The later owner-ratified Option A makes native auto-update authoritative for the
+  beta.11 window-only thin-client tier and moves the snapshot mechanism to beta.14.
+- **Source:** Rev 10 §0/§C versus live #840/#841/#456/#457 and PR #822 `rfc.md` F4/OF-L.
+- **Expected:** Implement snapshot/journal updater semantics or avoid native auto-update entirely.
+- **Actual:** Implement only the typed native SDK seam; no snapshot updater in #841.
+- **Severity:** significant.
+- **Action:** accept the newer owner-ratified direction; retain rev 10 only for compatible release
+  lineage facts.
+- **Evidence:** [#840](https://github.com/rickylabs/netscript/issues/840),
+  [#841](https://github.com/rickylabs/netscript/issues/841),
+  [PR #822](https://github.com/rickylabs/netscript/pull/822).
+
+## 2026-07-17 — Proposed Deno namespace also renames the version property
+
+- **What:** The brief names the `Deno.desktop` namespace move. The live upstream PR changes
+  `Deno.desktopVersion` to `Deno.desktop.appVersion`, not merely
+  `Deno.desktop.desktopVersion`.
+- **Source:** denoland/deno#35939 current body and `lib.deno.desktop.d.ts` patch.
+- **Expected:** Pure re-namespacing with identical member names.
+- **Actual:** `autoUpdate` keeps its name; the version property becomes `appVersion`.
+- **Severity:** significant.
+- **Action:** support both structural generations behind the one local resolver and expose neither
+  name to consumers.
+- **Evidence:** [denoland/deno#35939](https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/35939).
+
+## 2026-07-17 — Local Deno patch version differs from skill prose
+
+- **What:** The Deno toolchain skill says the repo is on Deno 2.9.0; this WSL worktree executes
+  Deno 2.9.3.
+- **Source:** `deno eval 'console.log(Deno.version.deno)'`.
+- **Expected:** 2.9.0.
+- **Actual:** 2.9.3.
+- **Severity:** minor.
+- **Action:** accept for this run; no dependency/version change is in scope. Keep behavior fixtures
+  structural and do not rely on patch-specific ambient types.
+- **Evidence:** command output recorded in `research.md`/`worklog.md`.
+
+## 2026-07-18 — Deno adapter shell moved forward one slice
+
+- **What:** The approved Plan-Gate note requires the structural resolver to be the only production
+  file touching the Deno global. Public `createReleaseClient(config)` also needs `Deno.build`, so
+  the build-target portion of the planned adapter landed in slice 1 instead of waiting for slice 2.
+- **Source:** Tier-A Plan-Gate PASS implementation note 2.
+- **Expected:** Create `deno-auto-update-adapter.ts` in slice 2 with all native-runtime behavior.
+- **Actual:** Slice 1 creates the adapter with build-target resolution only; slice 2 extends the
+  same file with legacy/namespaced updater resolution.
+- **Severity:** minor.
+- **Action:** Update the worklog slice table; keep D1–D13 and all public contracts unchanged.
+- **Evidence:** `release-client_test.ts` recursively scans executable auto-update source and proves
+  no other production file accesses `globalThis` or Deno update/build globals.
