fork nightlies never update on the nightly channel [📡#1388] #1389
Description
🤖 claude/anthropic claude-opus-5-5 (high)
A fork nightly on the nightly channel never offers the next nightly.
Origin: UAT walk of c8b021a205 on 2026-09-28, packaged .775 AppImage against a mock feed offering .776.
Steps
- Install
v0.0.43-hyprws-nightly.20260928.775 - Fresh settings: channel is
latest❌ - Switch to nightly, Check for Updates
- Feed offers
0.0.43-hyprws-nightly.20260928.776 - Log: "ignoring update that does not match…" ❌
- App reports up to date ❌
The title bar and tab read "T3 Code (Alpha)", not Nightly.
Cause
apps/desktop/src/updates/updateChannels.ts matches nightlies with /^[^-+]+-nightly\.\d{8}\.\d+$/.
0.0.43-hyprws-nightly.… never matches, so every fork nightly classifies as latest.

#763 fixed the updater feed channel; this guard sits after it, so the live acceptance box on #762 still fails.
The fork touches these files: run upstream-triage before fixing.
