A local-build check (Option+click "Check for Updates" on macOS) pins activeUpdateSource to 'local' for the rest of the process. The 'update-available' success path never restores it, and runBackgroundUpdateCheck early-returns on it, so every wake-from-sleep check, window-focus daily check and nudge poll became a no-op once a local build reached 'available'. The one-shot automatic timer fired into that early return and nothing re-armed it, so the scheduling chain died too and lastUpdateCheckAt froze. Restoring the source when 'update-available' fires would break the flow the user just started — the pending download still needs the local feed and allowDowngrade. Instead the release source is restored when the user closes the offered card, which main previously never learned about, and only while status is exactly 'available': downloadUpdate() flips status to 'downloading' synchronously before it calls into electron-updater, so this cannot fire once a download is under way. The automatic timer now re-arms when a check is deferred rather than launched, so a deferral can no longer end automatic checks for the process lifetime.

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
