[Kiki-bo-zhang]

Summary

This PR implements a comprehensive improvement to the automatic update flow in BoostNote, addressing all requirements from issue #728.

Changes

User-Facing Improvements

1. Three-Option Update Prompt

   • ✅ "Yes, Download and Install" - Proceed with update
   • ✅ "No, Skip This Update" - Skip this version entirely
   • ✅ "Remind Me Later" - Suppress for 24 hours

2. Download Progress Display

   • Real-time progress bar with percentage
   • Download speed indicator
   • Visual feedback during download
   • Menu item shows "Downloading... 45%"

3. User-Controlled Restart

   • Choose "Restart Now" or "Restart Later" after download
   • No forced interruption during note-taking
   • Menu updates to "Restart to Update (v0.24.0)" when ready

4. Install Without Checking

   • New menu option to install previously found update
   • Useful for users who clicked "No" or "Remind me later"

Technical Implementation

• New Module: src/electron/updater-improved.ts (350 lines)

  • Complete auto-updater rewrite
  • User preference persistence
  • IPC communication with renderer
  • Smart checking (24-hour delay for "remind later")

• New Component: src/components/UpdateNotification.tsx

  • React component for update progress UI
  • Shows download status and controls

• Modified Files:

  • src/electron/menu.ts - Dynamic update menu labels
  • src/electron/index.ts - Initialize new auto-updater

Testing

Test Scenarios

• Restart now vs later
• Menu label updates correctly
• Error handling
