fix(web): checking for updates finds provider updates on every machine#33538

Each server caches the latest provider version for one hour. After a new Claude Code release, only some machines showed the update. "Check for updates" did not help, because it only checked the T3 Code app.

Now a check for updates also tells every connected machine to drop that cache and look again. The update dialog does the same when it opens, so machines that were behind add their rows while you read it.

Changes

  • The sidebar update button and Settings > About "Check for updates" also check provider versions on every connected machine you can manage. The button stays busy until all machines answer. A failed machine gets one toast line.
  • When one update is already known, the sidebar button opens the update dialog and does not check. The dialog now starts the same check on open and shows "Checking for more…" until it ends. This check shows no toast on failure, because the user did not ask for it.
  • No server or contract change. It uses the existing server.refreshProviders call with refreshModels: true, so older servers work too.

Credit

This continues https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/32121 by @Yuruzuu. The first four commits are theirs, moved to latest main with authorship kept. The last commit adds the dialog check and fixes one stale comment. Please keep @Yuruzuu as a co-author on the squash commit.

Verified

  • vp run check:changed passes.
  • Web dev server with isolated state: opening the dialog sent server.refreshProviders with refreshModels: true, showed "Checking for more…", and removed it when the server answered (about 0.8 s on one local machine).
  • Not tested: a run with many remote machines, and the desktop build.

Not covered

  • The native desktop menu item "Check for Updates..." still checks only the app.
  • Mobile has no update-everything flow, so nothing changes there.

Walkthrough

The change adds a provider-update check hook that refreshes models for manageable environments. Settings and sidebar update flows invoke it, and the update dialog shows when a provider check is in progress.

Changes: Provider update checks

Layer / File(s)Summary
Provider refresh check
apps/web/src/components/ProviderUpdatesAction.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ProviderUpdatesAction.browser.test.tsx		The new hook refreshes models for manageable environments in parallel. It ignores interrupted failures, reports other failures unless called quietly, and shares the promise while a check is in progress. Browser tests cover refresh arguments and failure notifications.
Settings and sidebar checks
apps/web/src/components/settings/SettingsPanels.tsx, apps/web/src/components/sidebar/SidebarUpdatePill.tsx		The settings update action starts a provider check alongside the desktop check. Sidebar checking indicators and pending state account for provider and desktop checks.
Update dialog check state
apps/web/src/components/sidebar/SidebarUpdatePill.tsx, apps/web/src/components/sidebar/UpdateEverythingDialog.tsx		Opening the dialog starts a quiet provider check. The dialog displays “Checking for more…” while that check is active.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Hosted-web users cannot check provider updates from Settings > About. Enable that action before merging; overlapping checks also have narrower reporting and machine-coverage gaps.

Enable provider checks from About on hosted web

Without a desktop bridge, the About button is disabled and its handler returns before the provider check. Hosted web users cannot start the Settings provider check. Enable the check without a desktop bridge, while preserving the desktop download and install actions.

Note

🤖 Claude Fable 5.2 responding on behalf of Theo

Not changing this here. The observation is correct: with no desktop bridge, handleButtonClick returns before checkProviderUpdates() and the button is disabled by canCheckForUpdate(null).

That button is the desktop app updater control. Making it a provider-only check on hosted web is a new web entry point with its own label and feedback questions, so it is a product decision and not a fix for this PR. Web is still covered when any update is known: the sidebar pill opens the update dialog, and the dialog now runs the same check on every machine (SidebarUpdatePill.tsx, handleAction). I will list the web About button as a follow-up for Theo.

CcoderabbitaiBot1d ago

@t3dotgg Understood. I’ll leave the hosted web About control unchanged in this PR.

Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for the follow-up?
