Summary
This PR attempts to fix Windows auto-update failures by disabling code signature verification in electron-builder. The change is minimal (one line in package.json) but the description mentions additional changes (error sanitization, CI manifest validation) that are not present in the diff. The visible change is correct for development builds but may not fully address the described issues.
Critical
-
Missing changes from description — The PR description promises three changes:
verifyUpdateCodeSignature: false✓ (present in diff)- Error sanitization for sensitive info ✗ (not visible)
- CI manifest validation ✗ (not visible)
Either the other changes are missing from this PR, or the diff is incomplete. If error sanitization was implemented, it should be visible in the diff.
Important
package.json:98— Consider environment-specific configuration: Disabling signature verification globally inpackage.jsonmeans even production builds will skip verification. Consider using environment variables or separate production configuration:Or document that this is intentional for the project's distribution model."win": { "target": "nsis", "artifactName": "${productName}-${version}-${arch}.${ext}", "icon": "public/icons/win/icon.ico", "verifyUpdateCodeSignature": "${NODE_ENV === 'development'}" }
Suggestion
- Add inline comment explaining the workaround: Future maintainers may wonder why signature verification is disabled. Adding a comment like
"verifyUpdateCodeSignature": false // Required for unsigned dev buildswould improve maintainability.
Praise
package.json:98— Direct fix for a common issue: TheverifyUpdateCodeSignature: falseoption directly addresses a well-known electron-updater pitfall where unsigned Windows applications fail with confusing "signature invalid" errors. This is the correct workaround for development/unsigned builds.
