Post-release fixes: Windows smoke exit-code leak, deploy preflight, ADE CLI auto-install, manual send, complete diagnostic reports

[arul28]

Four independent post-release fixes, one branch, one commit each.

1. Windows smoke test leaked $LASTEXITCODE and failed a passing release

Failing run: https://github.com/arul28/ADE/actions/runs/32287721986/job/96187701589 — the log shows windows-installed-product-smoke.ps1 printing "Windows installed-product smoke passed: install, repair, reinstall, PATH, startup, deep links, file association, uninstall." and the step exiting 1 immediately after. That blocked the v1.2.62 Windows release entirely: the Windows gate is on, so a failed build-win-release means no draft release.

Stop-LaunchedApp ran & taskkill.exe /PID … /T /F | Out-Null from the finally block without inspecting or resetting $LASTEXITCODE. When the launched app or a child in its tree had already exited, taskkill printed "There is no running instance of the task" and returned nonzero. Write-Output is a cmdlet and does not reset $LASTEXITCODE, and GitHub's pwsh step wrapper ends with exit $LASTEXITCODE.

Every taskkill.exe call in the smoke script now goes through Invoke-TaskKill, which returns the exit code to the caller and always leaves $LASTEXITCODE at 0. Stop-LaunchedApp discards it — a cleanup kill that fails because the process is already gone is success. Stop-InstalledProductProcesses keeps its load-bearing checks and still throws when it cannot stop a channel-owned supervisor or product process before repair. No blanket suppression.

Audited the other Windows scripts for the same leak on the success path:

• windows-uninstall-cleanup.ps1 had it. Its lone native command is a best-effort supervisor kill and the script has no trailing exit, so a supervisor that had already stopped made the cleanup exit nonzero. Reset there, with a comment.
• windows-firewall-rules.ps1 ends every path with an explicit exit 0/exit 1 — safe.
• windows-install-setup.ps1 checks $LASTEXITCODE after every native call and its success path ends on one asserted to be 0 — safe.

2. account-directory deploy preflight checked 2 of 8 required values

scripts/verify-deployment-config.mjs asserted only DIRECTORY_AUTH_SECRET and PUSH_RELAY_URL. A production deploy missing a Clerk secret passed preflight, /health returned green, and authenticated routes 503 — the 2026-08-06 incident shape the preflight exists to prevent, half-prevented.

The required set was verified against the Worker source, not assumed:

Hard requirements — secrets DIRECTORY_AUTH_SECRET, CLERK_JWKS_URL, CLERK_ISSUER, CLERK_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID; vars PUSH_RELAY_URL, WEB_CLIENT_ORIGIN. resolveCallerToken (src/callerToken.ts:152-159) throws "authentication unavailable" when any Clerk value is blank, mapped to 503 in directory.ts and diagnostics.ts, and the whole /device/* OAuth flow fails the same way. None of the Clerk trio is declared in wrangler.jsonc, so all three must be secret bindings. WEB_CLIENT_ORIGIN has no code default: without it no access-control-allow-origin is emitted and the browser client at app.ade-app.dev is blocked outright.

Warn, do not block — ONLINE_WINDOW_MS and DIAGNOSTICS_DAILY_GLOBAL_LIMIT. Both have code defaults (DEFAULT_ONLINE_WINDOW_MS = 90_000, DEFAULT_DIAGNOSTICS_DAILY_GLOBAL_LIMIT = 400) equal to the committed values, so their absence changes no behavior and the diagnostics cost ceiling still applies at 400/day. Failing a deploy on them would be a false gate. They also warn when set to a value Number() cannot parse, since the Worker silently falls back to the default while the config reads as configured.

Secrets are still checked by NAME ONLY via wrangler secret list — no value is read, printed, or logged. Production checks still target --env production; wrangler environments inherit neither vars nor secrets.

3. The ADE CLI was never installed unless the user found a Settings button

A real user's every ade diagnostic answered "no such file or directory" while his app worked fine. Installing the app is the opt-in, exactly as curl -fsSL https://ade-app.dev/install.sh | sh is, but the DMG has no install-time hook and this app has no onboarding flow, so app startup is the only opportunity.

installAdeCliForTerminalInBackground already existed in main.ts but was unguarded — it called installForUser() on every launch, on the startup critical path, with no check for an existing install and no memory of having run. That re-ran the packaged installer each launch and could clobber an ade owned by Homebrew or install.sh. The guards now live in a testable runAdeCliAutoInstall:

• Skips entirely when ade already resolves on the user's real shell PATH from any source. Never shadows an install ADE does not own.
• Once ever, not once per launch: an adeCliAutoInstall marker in ade-state.json (the existing main-process global state store) records the outcome. Deleting the binary or stripping the PATH line afterwards is a deliberate act and is not silently undone.
• A build that cannot install and a failed install leave no marker, so an app update self-heals instead of stranding the user.
• Never throws; failure is a single ade_cli.auto_install_failed warn. Runs in setImmediate(...).unref(), off the path to the first window, matching the deferral pattern used elsewhere in main.ts and in adeCliService itself.
• A process-wide latch keeps the project-open and dormant startup paths from both attempting it.

No new user-facing surface. The Settings card already reports Terminal readiness, the resolved command path, and the install target, and stays the way to repair or reinstall.

4. No way to send a report unless something had already visibly broken

Reported by a real user today. ReportIssueButton renders on five surfaces —
RendererErrorBoundary, PageErrorBoundary, ProjectRecoveryScreen,
RemoteTargetList, and inside BrainRepairButton only after repair.error.
Every one of them requires a visible failure first. A user whose app looks
healthy but feels wrong has nothing to press. Worse, the new Diagnostics
sharing settings section tells them "ADE sends the same report the 'Report
issue' button makes" — referring them to a button that may not be anywhere on
their screen.

Settings > General > Privacy > Diagnostics sharing now carries Send a
report to ADE, so that copy is true. It routes through main
(IPC.diagnosticsSendManual -> autoDiagnosticsService.sendManual()) and
reuses the existing collector, redaction and uploader rather than duplicating
any of it — main is also where the report has to be built, since a renderer
must not choose whose project logs go into it. Sent with auto: false and
surface settings_manual, so a report somebody asked for stays separable
server-side from one nobody chose to file. It does not open GitHub: the point
here is the send, and the result line offers View report for the saved copy,
the same affordance the auto-send toast already has.

Rate limiting

Server-side is unchanged and untouched. apps/account-directory/src/diagnostics.ts
still enforces the per-identity daily quota and the fleet-wide
DIAGNOSTICS_DAILY_GLOBAL_LIMIT, both counting stored objects, both keyed on
the caller address, both failing closed. Nothing on this branch weakens or
bypasses it.

What was missing is a client guard, so one user cannot spam the button, burn
their own server quota, and then meet confusing errors. Added to the existing
ledger (autoDiagnosticsStore.ts, with its file locking) rather than a second
store — one new kind: "auto" | "manual" field per entry, defaulting to auto
for entries written before this existed.

• The bound: 5 manual sends per install per 24h. Deliberately the same
  number as MAX_DIAGNOSTIC_UPLOADS_PER_DAY, the server's own per-identity
  daily quota. That is the justification: the guard exists to turn a server
  refusal into one honest sentence, and matching the server's number means it
  never refuses a report the user was still entitled to send. More generous
  than the auto-sender's 1-per-failure-class and 3/day, because an automatic
  send is one nobody chose while a manual send is a person asking for help
  about a report they can read first.
• The two budgets cannot spend each other. claimAutoDiagnosticsSend
  counts only kind === "auto"; claimManualDiagnosticsSend counts only
  kind === "manual". So a user clicking the button five times cannot silence
  the automatic reports that would explain the crash they are reporting, and a
  crash loop that has burned its three automatic sends cannot lock the user out
  of asking for help. Same file, same lock, same window, same fail-closed
  behaviour on an unreadable or unlockable ledger — only the counters are
  separate. ade doctor's Diagnostics sharing row still reports the automatic
  budget only, since it is a health check about what the machine does on its own.

Consent

A manual send is allowed with the toggle off. The toggle reads "Share
diagnostics with ADE when something breaks" and governs reports ADE files
by itself; a deliberate click about a report the user can open and read is not
that. Refusing it would leave anyone who turned off background reporting unable
to report anything at all — precisely the user this control exists for — and
would be inconsistent with ReportIssueButton, which already sends with the
toggle off. It is not silent either way: with the toggle off the card says
"Automatic reports are off. This sends one report, now. It does not turn
automatic reports back on." Nothing in sendManual writes enabled, and the
automatic path stays refused.

Refusal copy

The route answers two deliberately distinct 429 bodies. uploadDiagnosticReport
now reads the body and maps the fleet-wide one (daily diagnostics budget exhausted) to unavailable instead of blaming the caller for it; an
unreadable body falls back to the caller-scoped reading, which is what it did
before. No status code reaches the screen.

Case	What the user reads
Local cap reached	"You've already sent 5 reports from this computer today. Try again tomorrow."
Per-caller 429	"You've already sent several reports today. Try again tomorrow."
Fleet 429 / 503	"ADE isn't accepting reports right now. Try again later."
Too large	"This report is too big to send. It's saved on this computer — open it and attach it to a GitHub issue."
Network / rejected	"ADE couldn't send the report. Check your connection and try again."
Success	"Report sent. Reference abcd1234 — quote it if you get in touch." + View report

An older preload with no sendManual hides the button rather than offering a
dead one.

5. Every diagnostic we needed was already on the user's disk, and the collector did not read it

Reported by a real user. His app was misbehaving, we asked repeatedly for diagnostics and got nothing usable, and then he pasted two log lines by hand that turned out to be decisive. Those lines were in a file collectMachineDiagnosticSources does not open. Nothing was missing from his machine; everything was missing from the report.

Three confirmed gaps, all closed in the shared collector so the desktop button and ade report-issue --send produce the same document.

stdout was never collected

diagnosticSources.ts read launchd.err.log — stderr only. The launchd agent's stdout goes to ~/.ade/runtime/launchd.out.log (confirmed against a real user's launchctl print). Early-startup lines are written with console.log("[main] …") from main.ts before the structured logger exists, so deeplink.scheme_claimed and deeplink.single_instance.lock_lost — the lines that say which process actually claimed the scheme — land there and nowhere else.

Both streams are now collected, and the same asymmetry was checked on the other two platforms rather than assumed:

Platform	Before	Now
macOS	launchd.err.log only	launchd.err.log and launchd.out.log
Windows	supervisor log	unchanged — the supervisor appends its own lines and the brain inherits no redirection, so it is one merged stream by construction. Verified in windowsSupervisor.ts (UseShellExecute = $false, no RedirectStandard*).
Linux	asked for launchd.err.log, a macOS path that never exists there	journalctl --user-unit <service>.service --no-pager --lines 200, gated on the unit file existing so a machine that never installed the service is not charged a subprocess to be told nothing

The service definition was never collected

Nothing in a report said what the runtime was told to be. serviceManager/common.ts:277 sets ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 only if (process.versions.electron), and a plist written without it makes the runtime boot the whole desktop app, claim the ade:// scheme, and fight the GUI for the single-instance lock. A stale plist from an older install had no signature in any log.

New Background service definition section, per platform, through the real resolvers rather than a hardcoded path — launchAgentPath(), servicePath() (systemd), resolveWindowsServiceLauncherPath() plus the scheduled task. Both launchAgentPath and the systemd servicePath gained an optional serviceName, because ADE_RUNTIME_SERVICE_NAME is frozen from process.env at import time and a caller resolving a channel from an environment it was handed would otherwise silently read the stable channel's plist.

Read from the front, not tailed: a plist states its Label, ProgramArguments and EnvironmentVariables first, and a tail of one keeps the part nobody needs. Capped at 8 KB, which only ever bites the generated Windows launcher — whose first 8 KB still carry the whole environment block. Truncation is stated in the output so a short read is never mistaken for a short file.

The Windows scheduled task is exported with PowerShell Export-ScheduledTask through [Console]::Out, matching every other task query in installWindows.ts, and specifically not schtasks /Query /XML, which writes UTF-16 to stdout that a UTF-8 read turns into NUL-interleaved garbage.

It is configuration, not secrets, but it goes through the same redaction as everything else — redactDiagnosticText runs over the whole assembled document as the last step, so a section added later cannot leak by forgetting to opt in. There is a test asserting a token-shaped value in a plist comes out as <token>.

main.jsonl required a project to be open

It lives at <projectRoot>/.ade/transcripts/logs/main.jsonl, and the desktop appended it only if (deps.projectLogsDir). So the machine-level error screens — the ones a person actually reaches when nothing will open — silently had no main.jsonl at all, and with it went the ade_cli.auto_install outcome from fix 3 above. The CLI read ade-cli.jsonl only when given a projectRoot.

Both project logs are now collected by the shared collector for the open project, or for the most recently opened one when there is none, with a note in the report saying which project was used. resolveMostRecentProjectRoot reads ~/.ade/projects.json directly rather than through ProjectRegistry, which migrates a legacy v1 file by writing it back and throws on a version it does not know. A collector that runs on a machine whose state is already suspect may do neither: it must never be the thing that mutates it, and a registry it cannot parse has to degrade to "no project" rather than take the report down with it. Entries are tried newest-first and the first one whose .ade directory still exists wins, so a deleted project does not shadow the live one.

The desktop's own append was removed rather than duplicated, and the typed last-failure store is now keyed off the root the collector actually used — otherwise a report with no project open would attribute one project's last failure to another project's logs.

--send is now one command that ends somewhere

ade report-issue --send takes no arguments, needs no project, and needs no cwd inside one. Verified end to end from /tmp with ADE_PROJECT_ROOT unset: Project: none, the fallback note naming the project the logs came from, the plist, both launchd streams, main.jsonl and ade-cli.jsonl.

It saves the exact bytes it sends to ~/.ade/diagnostic-reports/ (0600, next to the brain's automatic reports, so the toast's View reaches a CLI report too) before attempting the upload, so the path printed under a failure is a file that already exists.

Outcome	What the user reads
Sent	Sent to ADE — reference abcd1234 + Exactly what was sent is saved at <path>
Failed	The reason in plain words + The report is saved at <path> — attach that file to a GitHub issue.
Failed, and the local write also failed	The reason + File it on GitHub instead (the full report is above).

--json gained reportPath alongside the existing sent.

Size

Every source is weighed against MAX_DIAGNOSTIC_UPLOAD_BYTES (512 KB for the serialized upload), because a report that grows past it is not sent at all — the exact failure this work exists to prevent. The machine-level streams keep the full 120-line/32 KB tail, since they explain a startup that never got far enough to write anything else. The two project logs take a compact 80-line/16 KB tail, which is what buys room for stdout and the definition. Desktop worst case is ~208 KB of tails; a real report measured on this machine is 92 KB, and there is a test asserting a built report fits under the cap.

Best-effort, everywhere

Every added source follows readLogTail's existing contract: a missing or unreadable file becomes (not present) / (could not be read) under its own heading in the report, never a thrown collector and never a failed upload. That includes the ones that are not files — an absent journalctl, an unresolvable Windows task name, a PowerShell that cannot be located. The machine this runs on is by definition damaged.

6. The main process had no durable log until a project opened

Fix 5 above made the collector fall back to the most recently opened project's main.jsonl. That is a mitigation, not the fix: it still needs some project to have been opened, and to guess the right one.

The root cause is that both createFileLogger(path.join(adePaths.logsDir, "main.jsonl")) calls in main.ts sit inside project-open paths and write to a project-scoped directory. Three consequences, all real:

• Everything before a project opens had nowhere durable to go. registerAdeProtocolHandler's log callback was a raw console.log("[main] …"), chosen precisely because — in its own comment — "structured logger may not be ready yet". Those lines survive only as process stdout, which exists for a launchd-spawned runtime and vanishes entirely for a Finder-launched app.
• Machine-level facts were filed under whichever project happened to open. Whether this computer ever got the ade command (ade_cli.auto_install, fix 3 above) was recorded per project, so the same machine told a different story depending on what was open — and on the dormant startup path it went to <userData>/ade-idle.jsonl, a file no report collects at all.
• A user whose app fails before opening a project produced a report with no main-process log. That is what happened: we asked for evidence four times and it did not exist, because nothing had written it.

The machine log

apps/desktop/src/main/services/logging/machineLogger.ts writes ~/.ade/runtime/desktop-main.jsonl.

Why there and not app.getPath("userData"). The deciding question is who can read it. resolveMachineAdeLayout is the same resolver ade report-issue uses, so a headless report — collected on the machine where the desktop will not start, which is the entire point — finds the file by construction, and each channel's ADE_HOME keeps its own. Electron's userData is a per-platform, per-productName directory the CLI would have to guess at; that is exactly why local-runtime.jsonl and ade-update.jsonl remain desktop-only sources in a report. It also lands beside brain.jsonl and account-trust.jsonl, the machine-scoped sinks that already exist.

When it is created. In main.ts's first executable statement, after the EPIPE guard and before the ade:// claim, the single-instance lock, and all of whenReady. Verified against the real tsup/esbuild CJS output, not assumed: the marker call is emitted immediately after the EPIPE loop with every require already hoisted above it. It writes desktop.main_started with pid, version, packaging, channel and platform, so "did this launch even happen" is answerable.

Size. No new scheme: it reuses createFileLogger, so the same 10 MiB rotation to desktop-main.1.jsonl that bounds brain.jsonl bounds this. Deliberately not flushSync-per-line — flushSync skips rotation by design, so a logger that only ever flushed that way would never rotate. The one branch that quits immediately (deeplink.single_instance.lock_lost → app.quit()) flushes through a new optional flushLog on registerAdeProtocolHandler, per the documented convention in docs/logging.md.

Defensive. This runs before the app exists, so nothing here may stop it starting. A layout that cannot be resolved degrades to a no-op logger; every write and every console mirror is individually wrapped; createFileLogger already swallows its own write failures. There is a test that a machine whose runtime path is a file still starts and logs nothing.

What moved, and the rule

By subject, not wholesale: if the event is about the computer it goes to the machine log; if it is about a repository it stays in the project log.

Event	Was	Now
desktop.main_started	did not exist	machine log
deeplink.scheme_claimed / scheme_skipped / buffered / dispatch / dispatch_failed / parse_failed / single_instance.lock_lost	console.log only	machine log + console
app_navigation.queued_before_dispatcher_ready	console.warn only	machine log + console
app.hardware_acceleration	console.log only	machine log + console
machine_trust_reset.failed	console.warn only	machine log + console
ade_cli.auto_install / _failed / _skipped	project main.jsonl, or ade-idle.jsonl on the dormant path	machine log
project.init, ipc.*, per-service telemetry	project main.jsonl	unchanged
autoUpdate.*	<userData>/ade-update.jsonl	unchanged — already machine-scoped, and already collected by the desktop

installAdeCliForTerminalInBackground no longer takes a logger; it resolves the machine one itself, so neither of its two call sites can reintroduce the project-scoped split.

Console output is kept, not dropped. A terminal-launched app still shows these lines, and the pathological case this log exists to diagnose — a stale plist that boots the whole desktop app as the background service — still routes main's stdout into launchd.out.log, which a report also collects. The mirror is a second copy; the machine log is the record.

Still console-only, deliberately: the two [ade-artifact] path-rejection warnings (per-request, and the subject is a project file, not the machine) and the two sync.mobile_project_forget_* warnings inside a handler. Neither is early-startup, so neither exists for the reason this fix removes.

The collector

collectMachineDiagnosticSources reads it, so all three surfaces get it: the desktop button, ade report-issue --send, and the brain's automatic send. Absence is a noted absence, same as every other source. The two main.jsonl sections are now labelled unambiguously — Desktop main (machine) and Desktop main (project) — because a report that shows both under one heading is worse than showing neither.

Full 120-line/32 KB tail, like the other machine-level streams beside it, on the grounds diagnosticReport.ts already states: those are the ones that explain a startup that never got far enough to write anything else, and on a machine where no project has ever been opened this is the only main-process log there is. Worst-case desktop tails go 208 KB → 240 KB against the 512 KB upload cap; a real report measures ~92 KB. No other tail was reduced.

Addressed review

CodeRabbit's Major on windows-installed-product-smoke.ps1#L85-87 was valid
and is fixed in commit 1's follow-up: the supervisor loop threw on any nonzero
taskkill, but its process list is a snapshot, so a supervisor that exited on
its own between snapshot and kill failed the smoke — the same spurious failure
this branch already fixed once. It now checks whether the PID is still there
AND still the channel-owned supervisor, the same post-check the loop below it
always had, and throws only then. The uninstall-cleanup sibling keeps its
best-effort kill (an uninstall may not refuse to finish over a process it could
not stop) but now warns when a supervisor is still running afterwards. The
third site, Stop-LaunchedApp at L66-70, is rejected: it is deliberately
best-effort — its intent is "this is not running", so a kill that fails because
the process already exited is success.

Verification

• apps/desktop: vitest run src/main/services/cli/ src/main/services/state/globalState.test.ts — 41 passed (8 new). npm run typecheck clean. eslint on changed files clean (one pre-existing unrelated warning in main.ts).
• apps/account-directory: npm test — 169 passed (10 new). npm run typecheck clean.
• PowerShell: pwsh is not installed on this machine, so the fix mechanism was not executed. It is a documented PowerShell property — native commands set $LASTEXITCODE, cmdlets do not reset it — and the change is confined to explicit read-then-reset at each call site. The new post-kill check reuses the Get-CimInstance Win32_Process -Filter "ProcessId = …" idiom already in the same function.
• Change 4, apps/desktop: vitest run src/main/services/diagnostics src/shared/diagnosticsUpload.test.ts src/preload/preload.test.ts — 183 passed; vitest run src/renderer/components/settings src/shared — 1067 passed. 14 tests added across the ledger (manual cap, both-directions budget independence, consent-off, kind-scoped completion), the service (tagging, refusal mapping, budget independence, consent), the uploader (the two 429 bodies plus unreadable-body fallback) and the settings section (refusal copy per case, never a status code, consent note, missing-preload hiding).
• apps/ade-cli: vitest run src/commands/doctor.test.ts src/services/diagnostics — 43 passed. Both apps tsc --noEmit clean; eslint clean on changed files. The full ade-cli suite was skipped: it OOMs on Node 26 locally.
• Change 5, apps/ade-cli: vitest run src/services/diagnostics/ src/commands/reportIssue.test.ts src/serviceManager/ — 197 passed, 5 skipped (22 new in a new diagnosticSources.test.ts, 5 new in reportIssue.test.ts); vitest run src/cli.test.ts — 377 passed, 2 skipped. apps/desktop: vitest run src/main/services/diagnostics/ — 47 passed (2 new), vitest run src/main/services/ipc/ — 120 passed. Both apps tsc --noEmit clean; eslint clean on changed desktop files (the one warning I introduced, a now-unused resolveAdeLayout import, is removed). The full ade-cli suite is still skipped: it OOMs on Node 26 locally. End-to-end: ade report-issue --text run from /tmp with no project env, and --send against an unreachable directory to exercise the failure print and the 0600 saved file.
• Change 6, apps/desktop: vitest run src/main/services/logging src/main/services/diagnostics src/main/services/deeplinks src/main/services/cli — 154 passed (8 new in a new machineLogger.test.ts, 1 new in diagnosticReportService.test.ts); vitest run src/main/services/ipc — 120 passed. apps/ade-cli: vitest run src/services/diagnostics/ src/commands/reportIssue.test.ts — 64 passed (2 new in diagnosticSources.test.ts). Both apps tsc --noEmit clean; eslint clean on changed files (one pre-existing unrelated warning in main.ts). apps/ade-cli npm run build succeeds — the collector now imports the log's filename from its writer. Bundle ordering verified by building main.ts with tsup and reading the emitted CJS: the marker is the first statement after the EPIPE guard, with every require hoisted above it. The full ade-cli suite is still skipped: it OOMs on Node 26 locally.
• node scripts/validate-docs.mjs — passed for 234 files. Docs updated in lockstep (docs/logging.md — the machine-versus-project rule and the closed list of machine-subject events, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — the ~/.ade tree and the logging section, whose main-process logger path was stale, docs/features/storage-and-recovery/README.md, docs/features/deeplinks/README.md, docs/features/onboarding-and-settings/README.md). Mobile and TUI parity: N/A — iOS has no diagnostics-sharing surface, and ade report-issue --send is already the headless manual send.

The PR expands account-directory deployment checks, adds background ADE CLI auto-installation, extends diagnostics collection and manual sending, saves diagnostic report copies, and hardens Windows cleanup behavior.

Changes

Account-directory deployment configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configuration validation and tests apps/account-directory/scripts/verify-deployment-config.*, apps/account-directory/test/verifyDeploymentConfig.test.ts	The preflight validates Clerk secrets and WEB_CLIENT_ORIGIN, warns for invalid defaulted variables, returns warnings, and prints them. Tests cover the updated requirements.

Desktop ADE CLI auto-install

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Installation state and workflow apps/desktop/src/main/services/cli/adeCliAutoInstall.ts, apps/desktop/src/main/services/state/globalState.ts	The installation service handles disabled, settled, available, unavailable, installed, and failed outcomes. Global state stores settled ADE access.
Startup wiring and workflow tests apps/desktop/src/main/main.ts, apps/desktop/src/main/services/cli/adeCliAutoInstall.test.ts	Startup schedules one guarded background attempt and passes persisted-state paths. Tests cover installation outcomes and retries.

Diagnostic collection and manual sending

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Diagnostic sources and report rendering apps/ade-cli/src/services/diagnostics/*, apps/ade-cli/src/serviceManager/*	Diagnostics collect bounded logs, project fallbacks, service output, and platform service definitions. Reports render service definitions and bounded file entries.
Report persistence and upload flow apps/ade-cli/src/commands/reportIssue.*, apps/ade-cli/src/cli.ts, apps/desktop/src/shared/diagnosticsUpload.*	Reports can be saved before upload. Output includes the saved path, and upload handling distinguishes fleet-wide budget exhaustion.
Manual diagnostics service and UI apps/desktop/src/main/services/diagnostics/*, apps/desktop/src/main/services/ipc/registerIpc.ts, apps/desktop/src/preload/*, apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/settings/*, apps/desktop/src/shared/*	Manual sends use a separate five-send budget and result type. IPC, preload, and Settings UI expose sending, failure messages, and report viewing. Tests cover budgets, service behavior, IPC-facing UI behavior, and compatibility.

Windows process cleanup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Best-effort task termination apps/desktop/scripts/windows-installed-product-smoke.ps1, apps/desktop/scripts/windows-uninstall-cleanup.ps1	Cleanup paths isolate taskkill.exe exit codes and verify whether a channel-owned supervisor remains active.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 93de1

The PR expands report collection, manual sending, and Windows cleanup, but the current head still has concrete risks that can delay the desktop UI, misassociate saved reports, make release or cleanup checks unreliable, or mislead users after an oversized report fails to save. The major correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

310-321: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Thread args.env into Windows task-user resolution. resolveWindowsTaskName({ serviceName }) falls back to resolveWindowsTaskUser(process.env), while the service name and launcher use args.env. If args.env has different USERNAME or USERDOMAIN values, the task hash differs and the report queries the wrong task. Pass userName: resolveWindowsTaskUser(args.env) or add explicit environment support to resolveWindowsTaskName.

PowerShell Get-CimInstance -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue non-terminating error behavior and documentation

💡 Result:

In PowerShell, Get-CimInstance typically generates non-terminating errors for issues such as access denied, invalid class names, or network connectivity problems [1]. When you use -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue with Get-CimInstance, the following behaviors apply: 1. Suppression: The error message is suppressed and is not displayed in the console [2][3]. 2. Execution: The script execution continues to the next command, as the error does not terminate the statement or the script [2][4]. 3. Variable Logging: By default, the error record is still captured in the automatic $Error variable [3]. If you require the error to be completely ignored (not even logged), you can use -ErrorAction Ignore instead [5][3]. 4. Try/Catch Limitations: Because these are non-terminating errors, they will not be caught by a try/catch block unless you change the error action to Stop [2][3]. You can achieve this at the command level using -ErrorAction Stop, which promotes the error to a statement-terminating error that triggers the catch block [2][4][3]. For more precise control, you can use the -ErrorVariable common parameter to collect errors into a specific variable for later inspection, while still using -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue to hide the output [3]. Note that -ErrorAction only affects non-terminating errors; statement-terminating errors are governed by the $ErrorActionPreference variable and the engine's statement-level error handler [4].

Make post-kill process verification fail closed.

• At both smoke checks, treat Get-CimInstance errors separately from an absent process. For the app check, compare a remaining process executable with $normalizedAppExe.
• In windows-uninstall-cleanup.ps1, do not remove $pidPath after a supervisor query failure. Preserve the metadata or report cleanup failure.

Microsoft Windows PowerShell 5.1 about_Character_Encoding UTF-8 BOM -File script

💡 Result:

In Windows PowerShell 5.1, the Byte Order Mark (BOM) is critically important for scripts containing non-ASCII characters [1]. If you save a script as UTF-8 without a BOM, Windows PowerShell often misinterprets the file as being encoded in the legacy system "ANSI" code page, which frequently leads to parser errors or incorrect rendering (mojibake) of special characters [2][1][3]. Key technical points regarding PowerShell 5.1 and UTF-8 encoding: 1. Recommended Practice: To ensure compatibility and correct execution in Windows PowerShell 5.1, you should save all.ps1 script files using UTF-8 with BOM [4][1]. This explicitly tells the interpreter the correct encoding, preventing it from falling back to the system's local ANSI code page [1]. 2. Parsing Behavior: When a script contains non-ASCII characters (such as accented letters or symbols) and is saved as UTF-8 without a BOM, the PowerShell 5.1 engine may fail to parse it correctly, resulting in errors like unexpected token or string terminator issues [2][4][1]. 3. Cmdlet Encoding: In Windows PowerShell 5.1, the -Encoding parameter for cmdlets like Set-Content or Out-File defaults to UTF-16 (or behaves as "UTF-8 with BOM" depending on the context), whereas in modern PowerShell (version 6+), the default is UTF-8 without a BOM [5][6][7]. PowerShell 5.1 does not support the explicit -Encoding utf8NoBOM option available in later versions [5][7]. 4. Differences from Modern PowerShell: This behavior is a primary reason for differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell (Core) 7+, where the newer versions default to UTF-8 without a BOM and handle encoding more consistently across the platform [6][7]. In summary, while modern applications generally prefer UTF-8 without a BOM, Windows PowerShell 5.1 requires a BOM for UTF-8 files to reliably process non-ASCII content [1].
