Problem

The dist/control-ui/ files are currently tracked in git, but they get modified/regenerated during builds. This causes the auto-update mechanism to fail with a "dirty repo" error:

Update Result: ERROR
  Reason: rebase-failed
  ...
  ✗ git rebase (174ms)
      error: cannot rebase: You have unstaged changes.

The files affected:

• dist/control-ui/assets/index-*.css
• dist/control-ui/assets/index-*.js
• dist/control-ui/assets/index-*.js.map
• dist/control-ui/index.html

Suggested Fix

Add dist/control-ui/ to .gitignore (or the entire dist/ directory if appropriate). These are build artifacts that should be generated locally rather than tracked.

Workaround

Currently users can work around this by running git restore dist/ before updates, but this is error-prone and the preflight build step in the update process itself triggers the issue.
