Closes #60134

Type of change

  • Bug fix

What does this PR do?

The desktop "What's New" popup doesn't load release notes written with the new markdown Highlights section.
Old HTML highlight tags still work, but the new markdown style was ignored.
Also adjust the "seen" tracking logic: don't mark a version as seen when the changelog fails to load.
Filter highlights so only Desktop entries show up in the desktop popup.
Remove duplicate parser code and outdated tests.

How did you verify your code works?

Tested old HTML highlights still parse.
Tested new markdown Highlights can be extracted.
Test retry behaviour when changelog is delayed.
tsc and updater unit tests pass.

Not a user-facing UI change.

Feature: anomalyco#44
Changelog-Feature: 修复 Desktop 更新后 What's New 弹窗永不出现的问题:changelog.json 生成器只识别旧版 <highlight source> HTML 块和 ## 小节,无法解析 v2 release notes 的 ### Highlights 列表和 ### 产品小节,导致每个版本都输出空 highlights;桌面端又在 highlights 为空时无条件标记版本已见,更新被静默消费。现在 Console feed 生成器同时解析 v1/v2 两种格式,将 v2 的 Highlights 条目作为 Desktop 分组输出,并在无桌面条目时用 Desktop 小节回填;桌面 updater 读取 Desktop sections 作为兜底,且仅当 feed 中确实包含当前版本但无桌面内容时才标记已见——feed 解析失败或不含当前版本时记录告警并留给下次启动,避免坏发布静默吞掉更新。

This isn't ready yet. The new feed parser works: on the real v2.2.1 release body it produces the 4 highlights, where dev produces none. But the desktop updater is broken.

In packages/gui-plugins, tsc -b fails on this branch and passes on dev. bun test src/updater/changelog.test.ts fails 2 of its 6 new tests: the Desktop-section fallback and the list form both return seen instead of highlights.

Public API: in changelog.json, v2 releases now include highlights (labelled Desktop, with no media) and sections read from ### headings, and HighlightItem.media becomes optional. Existing consumers of the feed keep working; older desktop builds will simply start seeing v2 highlights.

Concerns, most important first:

  1. releaseHighlights passes raw feed items to the dialog without filtering or normalising them. CLI-only groups are shown, group-level highlights and shortDescription are dropped, media isn't normalised, and the code doesn't type-check.
  2. The generator labels every v2 Highlights bullet as Desktop, so desktop users will see CLI and core highlights. This contradicts the description ("Keep filtering to only Desktop source highlights").
  3. sectionHighlight, readMedia and inlineText in the new changelog.ts are dead code, and its releaseHighlights docstring describes logic that doesn't exist.
  4. In the e2e spec, the cliOnly fixture changes from cli to mobile. With the current code, the CLI case would now show CLI items on desktop, so please keep a CLI-source case and make it pass instead.

This returns every group's raw items, whatever its source. As a result:

  • cli/TUI groups are shown on desktop. A feed with only {source: "CLI", items: [...]} gives status: "highlights".
  • Group-level highlights ({source, title, description} with no items) are dropped.
  • The description ?? shortDescription fallback, text() trimming and media normalisation (url, upper-case VIDEO) no longer happen.
  • The Desktop sections fallback described in the comment above is never used.

It also fails tsc -b (TS2322 / TS18048), and two of the new tests in changelog.test.ts fail. Please restore the base's per-group logic (Desktop source filter, plus highlight()/media() normalisation) and add the section fallback through sectionHighlight.

sectionHighlight, readMedia and inlineText are never called (tsc reports TS6133). Either wire them into releaseHighlights or remove them.

Every ### Highlights bullet is labelled Desktop, including CLI- and core-only ones (e.g. "Generate Images" in v2.2.1). Because the desktop filter only checks source, this sends non-desktop highlights to the desktop dialog. #61237 is the mirror problem on the TUI side. The labelling should come from what the bullet actually applies to, for example by matching the bullet's PR links against the ### Desktop / ### Core / ### TUI sections. If you can't do that, use a neutral source and let each client decide what to show.

Changing this fixture from cli to mobile stops the e2e suite from checking that CLI highlights stay off the desktop dialog, and with this branch they are no longer filtered out. Please keep a cli-source case here, and fix the filter so it passes.

The new push is a merge from dev that doesn't address the open threads, and it adds a new break.

The merge brought in #62000. On dev, renderer.tsx and the new whats-new-machine.ts now import loadWhatsNewHighlights, openWhatsNew and Highlight from ./whats-new. The conflict resolution kept this branch's whats-new.tsx, which exports only showWhatsNew, and nothing calls that any more. As a result, the stable What's New load always fails and the dialog never opens. tsc -b in packages/gui-plugins now reports these 3 errors as well as the earlier ones in changelog.ts, and src/updater/changelog.test.ts still fails 2 of its 6 tests.

Please rebase onto dev's whats-new.tsx and fit the feed changes into loadWhatsNewHighlights. The loader on dev already rejects when the request fails, which leaves the release unseen. Then return highlights from readFeed, and reject or return none according to its status, instead of reintroducing showWhatsNew.

The removed blank lines and comments in whats-new.tsx aren't related to the fix and can be dropped.

The public API is the same as in the last review: changelog.json v2 releases gain Desktop highlight groups and ### sections, and highlight media becomes optional (backwards compatible).

The new push is another merge from dev. It doesn't touch any of this pull request's files, so the earlier threads and my last review's points still apply. The main one: whats-new.tsx no longer exports loadWhatsNewHighlights, openWhatsNew or Highlight, which dev's renderer.tsx and whats-new-machine.ts need. Until that's fixed, stable What's New never opens and tsc -b fails in packages/gui-plugins.

The public API is the same as in my last review: changelog.json v2 releases gain Desktop highlight groups and ### sections, and highlight media becomes optional (backwards compatible).
