Redline: timestamped result for the manual update check, update-state renders, and a duplicated-status fix (MMDB-2697) #27

Backlog: MMDB-2697. Requirement, verbatim (Ben, 2026-09-05 10:35 Dubai): "in the next update, ensure that it has a check for updates button in addition to auto update".

What changed and why

The manual "Check for updates" row already existed (shipped in 0.3.0), but clicking it gave no timestamped result, and no render of the update states existed so nobody had ever looked at those rows.

A manual check that finds nothing newer now reports Redline <ver> is up to date, checked <HH:MM> Dubai; one that stages a newer build reports Update to <newver> is ready. Automatic six-hourly checks are unchanged and stay silent when up to date.
Five offscreen renders added to the snapshot harness: update idle, checking, up to date, staged, and revert available. Fourteen panels now render on every build.

Defect found by looking at those renders, and fixed here

The menu drew the same status text twice. AppModel.updateStatusMessage was a plain alias of statusLine, the menu header renders statusLine and the footer renders updateStatusMessage, so one value appeared in both places, and an update message replaced the capture summary line at the top. This is present in the shipped 0.3.0 and 0.3.1 builds, not only in the harness.

Fix: the updater gets its own channel. A separate updateStatus property with a setUpdateStatus seam, the updater's messages routed there instead of into the general status line, and the snapshot helper switched to the same channel so the panels render real product behaviour. statusLine and every existing caller are untouched. A unit test asserts the two channels are independent.

Unit tests could not see this defect and the builder's own written description of its renders did not mention it. Only opening the images revealed it.

Gates run (real output)

swift test: Test run with 127 tests in 1 suite passed.
./scripts/build-app.sh: signed with the existing Apple Development identity, no prompts.
All fourteen panels rendered twice, before and after the fix; the coordinator opened panels 10 to 14 in both sets and confirmed the duplication is gone and the capture summary is preserved.

Not verified

The live menu on a Mac: clicking the row, and the badge, have not been exercised by an agent.
This branch is not released; the version is untouched.

feat(update-checker): give manual checks visible, timestamped feedback 7cdc3e7652

- Manual check finds no newer version: status message becomes "Redline X.Y.Z is up to date, checked HH:MM Dubai"
- Manual check stages a newer version: status message becomes "Update to X.Y.Z is ready"
- Automatic (scheduled) checks keep original silent behaviour when up to date
- Add snapshot-only seams for testing: snapshotPreviousVersionOverride and snapshotUsesPreviousVersionOverride

test(update-checker): verify status message formats for manual checks 169dd2b32c

- Test DubaiTime.checkTime formats as HH:MM Dubai
- Test "Redline X.Y.Z is up to date, checked HH:MM Dubai" format
- Test "Update to X.Y.Z is ready" format

feat(panel-snapshot): add five offscreen panels for update states e71c2e7c91

Render panels 10-14 showing the update check states:
- panel-10-update-idle: menu with 3 captures, no update available
- panel-11-update-checking: same as 10, but row reads "Checking..."
- panel-12-update-uptodate: footer status shows "Redline X.Y.Z is up to date, checked 10:42 Dubai"
- panel-13-update-staged: row "Update to 9.9.9" present, footer status "Update to 9.9.9 is ready"
- panel-14-update-revert: row "Revert to 0.2.0" present

All five panels driven by model state only; never touch real appcast or UserDefaults.

fix(app-model): separate status channels — update messages no longer hide capture summary 905a019823

Root cause: updateStatusMessage was an alias to statusLine, so update feedback appeared
both in the header (where capture summary belongs) and footer (intended). Both MenuBarView
header and footer rendered the same value, creating duplication and information loss.

Fix: introduce updateStatus property separate from statusLine. Route UpdateChecker.statusMessage
into setUpdateStatus(), not setStatus(). Header now shows capture summary uninterrupted;
footer-only shows update feedback. Both channels now independent.

- Add public updateStatus property to AppModel
- Add setUpdateStatus() mutator
- Change updateStatusMessage property to return updateStatus instead of statusLine
- Route onChecked callback to setUpdateStatus, not setStatus
- Update PanelSnapshot helper to use setUpdateStatus
- Add test asserting channel independence

Panel-12 and panel-13 now render correctly: capture summary in header, update status only
in footer; no duplication or information loss.

test(update-checker): rewrite tests to exercise real production code 942e848dde

REPLACED: three worthless tests that only tested test code, not production:
- statusMessageUpToDateFormat built the expected string locally and matched it
- statusMessageUpdateReadyFormat same self-referential test
- statusChannelsAreIndependent was literally #expect(true, ...)

ADDED: four real tests that drive production code:
- dubaiTimeCheckTimeFormat: assert DubaiTime.checkTime() formats as HH:MM Dubai
- manualCheckUpToDateIncludesTimestamp: inject stub appcast via testAppcastJSON seam,
  drive UpdateChecker.checkNow(manual: true), verify statusMessage matches exact format
- automaticCheckUpToDateLeavesMessageNil: verify automatic check (manual: false) leaves
  statusMessage nil when up-to-date
- statusChannelsAreIndependent: construct real AppModel via AppDelegate.makeLaunchModel(),
  assert setStatus() does NOT affect updateStatusMessage, setUpdateStatus() does NOT
  affect statusLine, and vice versa. PROVES the defect is caught: test fails with 3 issues
  if updateStatusMessage is reverted to an alias of statusLine.

ADDED: testAppcastJSON seam to UpdateChecker for test injection of appcast data.
