The in-app updater (R3 of the Glaze migration) and the 0.x epoch reset:
HackDigest can now update itself end to end, closing the gap v1.0.1
documented as "open the release page". The 1.x line's releases and tags
are withdrawn as the whole family enters its 0.x stage.

Added

  • Full update flow on portable installs: the backend fetches the release's
    Ed25519-signed update-manifest.json, verifies it against the embedded
    key, downloads this platform's artifact with a progress indicator, checks
    size and SHA-256 against the signed feed, and swaps the install:
    • macOS portable .app: ditto-unpack, atomic bundle swap with a
      .old backup, automatic relaunch.
    • Windows portable zip: unpack beside the install dir, cmd handover
      (waits for the app to exit, .old swap, restart); failures leave a
      marker that the next launch reports.
    • Linux: the downloaded tar.gz is revealed in the file manager — extract
      it over the app folder by hand (family rule for archive installs).
  • Settings → About now offers the same flow with live progress; the
    startup banner drives it too.
  • Release pipeline: scripts/make-update-manifest.sh signs the update
    feed from the portable artifacts before publishing (key supplied via the
    UPDATE_ED25519_PRIVATE_KEY secret; releases without it fall back to
    release-page-only updates), and the release workflow gained a
    concurrency group.

Changed

  • Updating honestly, by install type: portable macOS/Windows installs
    update in place; DMG/MSI installs point at the release page (the app
    cannot rewrite itself there without elevation); Linux downloads and
    reveals the archive. The check falls back to the v1.0-style
    release-page behavior whenever no signed manifest is published.
  • Settings → About shows the packaged version reported by the backend
    (it previously showed a stale build number).
