…profile (#104) The handoff relaunched the exe without --user-data-dir, and the installer only updates the installed app. Run as PrismTerminalStable.exe, the handoff now mirrors the fresh install into the copy's folder before restarting it.

Owner, 2026-09-30: "i click the update available icon in pt stable it updates then i reopen it and its the same icon there".
Two bugs on the update handoff (
installUpdateinsrc/main/update.ts):Programs\PrismTerminal. The stable copy is a plain copy in its own folder (tools/install-stable.ps1). It was never updated, so it kept offering the same release.--user-data-dir. The stable copy came back on the regular app's profile, with the regular app's tabs, instead of its own.Fix: the PowerShell the handoff runs is now built by a pure function,
src/main/updateHandoff.ts.--user-data-dirit was started with.PrismTerminalStable.exefrom outside the install folder, it goes on after the silent install. It waits for the old process to exit and mirrors the installed app into the copy's folder withrobocopy /MIR. Then it renames the exe back and removes the uninstaller, exactly asinstall-stable.ps1does. Finally it restarts the copy on its own profile.App 0.24.2. No core change.
Verified:
isStableCopy.updateNotes,updateGuard,updatePreview) pass.hostname.exestanding in for the installer. The stale file was removed, the new exe was renamed into place, the uninstaller was dropped, the copy was restarted, and the temp folder was removed.Note: the stable copy the owner runs today still has the OLD handoff. Its own update chip gets it right only from the next build on. It needs one refresh by hand (
npm run install:stable) after this merges.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
