What was broken

1. The Work composer showed another machine's lane. Lane ids are per-machine — every machine has its own Primary with its own id. The composer preserved the selected lane id across a machine switch, so a tab bound to the Mac Studio with "This computer" picked showed a second "Primary (unavailable on selected machine)" row next to the MacBook's real Primary, and every launch was refused with Selected lane is not available on the selected machine. That selection could never resolve.

2. "Update & restart" 404'd. The Connections pane sends the bare app version (1.2.74) through machine.updateAndRestart, but releases are tagged v1.2.74, so the target machine built a download URL for a tag that does not exist.

What changed

  • selectorLanes is strictly the picked machine's lanes plus the auto-create row. The synthetic "(unavailable)" row is gone, so exactly one Primary appears per machine.
  • A machine change re-resolves the selection by identity via remapDraftLaneToMachine: same id if it exists there → that machine's primary if the old lane was primary → same name → its primary.
  • findPrimaryDraftLane makes laneType === "primary" beat a lane merely named "Primary". The remap and the auto-create path previously disagreed here, so a worktree lane named "Primary" sorting first could silently launch on the wrong worktree.
  • A foreign machine whose catalog has not landed holds the selection unresolved behind a bounded Loading lanes for <machine>… state and pulls that machine's read forward via requestCrossMachineLanesForMachine, instead of showing a foreign lane. The hold ends on a recorded read failure, on a resolved intended-machine set that excludes the machine, and in any case after 12s — so it can never become a permanent promise that refuses every launch.
  • setDraftLaneId no longer writes the global lane selection. A foreign lane id pointed Lanes/PRs/Files at a lane the bound project had never heard of, and the next refresh silently rewrote it. WorkStartSurface already owns that sync for the bound machine.
  • releaseAssetUrl maps a bare semver onto its v tag; explicit tags, latest, and non-semver refs pass through unchanged.

/quality ran two review tracks plus a re-review pass: 21 findings, 20 applied, gate empty. Each accepted correctness finding has a named regression test, and the new tests were mutation-checked — each fails without its fix.

Parity: no shared/IPC/preload contract changed, so iOS, TUI, CLI and SDK need no updates (the SDK's download.ts takes a channel/tag, not a version, so it never had this bug). Windows: nothing in the diff touches paths, process launch, or IPC.

Not verified: no live run against a real two-machine pair; the remap and pull-forward are proven by tests only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed update links for specific app versions so they open the matching release.
    • Improved cross-machine lane selection to display only lanes available on the selected machine.
    • Added loading states while lane information is retrieved, preventing launches with incomplete data.
    • Preserved project-specific lane choices without changing the global lane selection.
    • Added immediate lane refresh when switching machines to keep available options current.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches cross-machine composer launch gating and brain update download URLs; behavior is heavily tested but errors could block launches or mis-route updates if edge cases slip through.

Overview
Fixes two user-facing failures: remote Update & restart building 404 download URLs from bare app versions, and the Work draft composer treating lane ids as global when switching machines.

Release downloads: releaseTagForVersion in releaseAssets.ts prefixes valid bare semvers with v before releaseAssetUrl builds GitHub paths; tagged refs, latest, and non-semver names pass through unchanged. brain update and related tests cover the mapping.

Cross-machine draft routing: Lane lists are scoped to the selected machine only—no more foreign "(unavailable)" Primary rows. Machine switches remap selection via remapDraftLaneToMachine / findPrimaryDraftLane (identity, not id carry-over). Cross-machine slices gain lanesSyncedAtMs so sessions-only merges are not mistaken for a loaded lane catalog; the composer shows a bounded Loading lanes for … state, blocks launch with the same message, and calls requestCrossMachineLanesForMachine to pull reads forward. setDraftLaneId stops updating the global lane selection so foreign draft targets do not repoint Lanes/PRs/Files on the bound tab.

…update URLs

The Work composer showed a lane from whichever machine the user had left, so a
tab bound to one machine listed a second "Primary" next to the target machine's
own and refused every launch with "Selected lane is not available on the
selected machine". Lane ids are per-machine, so carrying one across a machine
switch can never resolve.

The lane list is now strictly the picked machine's lanes plus the auto-create
row, and a machine change re-resolves the selection by identity: the same lane
if that id exists there, else that machine's primary when the old lane was a
primary, else a same-named lane, else its primary. `findPrimaryDraftLane` makes
`laneType` beat a lane merely named "Primary", matching the auto-create rule
the two paths previously disagreed on. A foreign machine whose catalog has not
landed holds the selection unresolved behind a bounded "Loading lanes for X"
state and pulls that machine's read forward, instead of showing a foreign lane.
The hold ends on a recorded read failure, on a resolved intended-machine set
that excludes the machine, and in any case after 12s, so it can never become a
permanent promise that refuses every launch.

`setDraftLaneId` no longer writes the global lane selection: a foreign lane id
pointed Lanes/PRs/Files at a lane the bound project had never heard of, and the
next refresh silently rewrote it. `WorkStartSurface` already owns that sync for
the bound machine.

Separately, `releaseAssetUrl` now maps a bare semver onto its `v` release tag.
The Connections pane sends the bare app version through
`machine.updateAndRestart`, so "Update & restart" built a URL for a tag that
does not exist and failed with a 404.

Review findings on #1257.

`lastSyncedAtMs` advances whenever lanes, sessions, OR prs were merged, and
`seedCrossMachineOptimisticSession` writes a sessions-only slice when a launch
lands on a foreign machine. The composer read that shared clock as "this
machine's lanes have been read", so a sessions-only slice reported a loaded
catalog holding zero lanes: the pull-forward lane read was suppressed and the
remap ran against an empty list, producing the very "Selected lane is not
available on the selected machine" this branch set out to remove. Slices now
carry `lanesSyncedAtMs`, set only when a lane list was actually merged, and the
composer keys on that. An empty lane list still counts as read, so "read and
found none" stays distinct from "never read".

`releaseTagForVersion` matched an unanchored prefix, so `1.2.74foo` became
`v1.2.74foo` — a different tag from the one asked for. The pattern is anchored
now and still carries prerelease and build suffixes through, which is the
behavior the bare-semver mapping exists for.

🟡 Minor · Reset the hold when the machine becomes eligible for a lane… · useDraftMachineRouting.ts:383-391

apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/chat/useDraftMachineRouting.ts:383-391
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reset the hold when the machine becomes eligible for a lane read.

If crossMachineLaneIntendedMachineIds initially excludes the selected foreign machine, the hold effect still starts because it does not depend on unionWillReadMachine. After 12 seconds, laneCatalogHoldExpired becomes true. If a later render adds the machine to the intended read set, the effect does not rerun. laneCatalogLoading remains false, so the targeted-refresh effect does not call requestCrossMachineLanesForMachine.

Gate and reset the timer with unionWillReadMachine and laneReadFailed, and add both values to its dependency list.

Proposed fix
   useEffect(() => {
-    if (!enabled || machineId === boundMachineId || executionLaneCatalogLoaded) {
+    if (
+      !enabled
+      || machineId === boundMachineId
+      || executionLaneCatalogLoaded
+      || !unionWillReadMachine
+      || laneReadFailed
+    ) {
       setLaneCatalogHoldExpired(false);
       return;
     }
     setLaneCatalogHoldExpired(false);
     const timer = setTimeout(() => setLaneCatalogHoldExpired(true), LANE_CATALOG_HOLD_MS);
     return () => clearTimeout(timer);
-  }, [boundMachineId, enabled, executionLaneCatalogLoaded, machineId]);

+    boundMachineId,

… semver

Second round of review findings on #1257.

The hold timer keyed on a weaker condition than the hold it bounded: it armed
whenever a foreign machine was picked and unread, ignoring whether the union
still intended to read that machine and whether a read had already failed. An
expiry recorded during a window when the hold was not warranted therefore
latched — the effect had no reason to re-run — and once the machine became
eligible again `laneCatalogLoading` stayed false, so the pull-forward read was
never requested. Timer and flag now derive from one `laneCatalogUnresolved`
condition, so they cannot disagree.

`BARE_SEMVER` matched a broad character shape rather than a version, accepting
`01.2.3` and `1.2.3-.`. Those are legal custom tag names, so prefixing them
requested a tag nobody published. It is the official SemVer 2.0.0 pattern now,
which also keeps the deliberate prerelease and build pass-through.

Third round of review findings on #1257.

Collapsing the hold timer onto `laneCatalogUnresolved` fixed a stale expiry but
introduced the same class one level down: two unread foreign machines both make
that boolean true, so switching straight from one to the other did not re-run
the effect. The machine being left took its expired hold with it — the newly
selected machine read as unavailable immediately and never got its pull-forward
lane read. The timer keys on `machineId` as well, so every machine gets its own
hold and its own cleanup.

This comment was marked as resolved.

Fourth round of review findings on #1257, and the last instance of one class.

Each round found the same defect from a new angle: the hold was started on
weaker terms than the pull-forward read it was waiting for, so it expired
against a request that never fired and the composer reported a machine
unavailable while never asking for its lanes. First it ignored a recorded read
failure and the resolved intended set, then it ignored which machine was
selected, and now it ignored whether the machine was in the picker at all while
the request declined exactly that case.

Rather than answer the third angle, `laneCatalogUnresolved` is now the exact
condition under which the request can run — `machineIsKnown` included — and the
hold, the flag and the request all derive from it. The request effect's own
`machineIsKnown` check is redundant and gone. There is no longer a weaker
condition for a fourth angle to find.
