Follow-up to the Windows updater work on this branch, applying maintainer
review.
Nightly is a build channel, not an update channel. The updater consults
`/releases/latest` again and nothing else, so it behaves on Windows exactly
as it already does on macOS: a Nightly build is offered the stable release
that supersedes it and graduates out of the prerelease, and no rolling
prerelease can become a source of code that gets executed on a user's
machine. Removed with it: the `UpdateChannel` enum and its version-string
inference, the `tags/nightly` query, the cross-channel version-ordering
bypass, the Settings → About channel row, the rolling-tag
`update-manifest.json` and the i18n keys that only served them.
`parse_version` and `is_update_available` are byte-identical to main again.
Nightly builds are untouched, and still carry tty7-updater plus the macOS
update archive — a Nightly user needs a working helper to reach the stable
release that replaces their build.
An all-users Windows installation is no longer updated in place. Running the
release Setup silently as the signed-in user cannot replace
`C:\Program Files\tty7`: Inno resolves `{autopf}` to `%LocalAppData%\Programs`
and installs a second copy beside the real one, or re-launches itself
elevated and puts a bare UAC prompt for an unsigned executable in `%TEMP%` in
front of a user whose GUI just vanished. tty7 declines both and points at the
release page. Detection reads Inno's own `HKLM` state for the frozen AppId and
independently probes whether the directory accepts writes, so a relocated or
pruned installation is caught too; the decision is a pure function with unit
tests, and it is re-checked before the download as well as during it.
Release and Nightly now verify the Windows packages they just built, mirroring
the macOS update-archive step: the install marker, tty7-updater.exe, the ZIP
layout the updater will accept and the PE versions it will demand. Every fact
the updater checks on the user's machine after downloading is checked here
instead, so a packaging mistake fails the build.

tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
Why
- Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Persistent sessions — quit or reboot; your shells and supported agent sessions keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search
- Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine
- Native SSH — profiles, SFTP, port forwarding, and jump hosts
- Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, git context
- CLI + Skills — agents create panes, run commands, and inspect output
