Three defects in the ONNX Runtime bootstrap/update path, one commit each:
Separation-triggered installs ignored the refreshed catalog (#393, 6897238d). ensure_runtime_ready_or_install_blocking resolved its install from catalog::embedded_catalog() directly, so a separation started after the background update check had fetched a newer catalog still installed the embedded generation. It now resolves through refreshed_or_embedded_catalog (the same source the settings download command uses), taking the shell's catalog_cache when a newer verified catalog is present and falling back to embedded.
Same-id digest-swap updates were no-ops (#394, e76e790e). The worker's reuse check matched on artifact id alone, so a catalog generation that republishes an id with different bytes (generation 13 reuses ...-cpu-reduced as a static-CRT rebuild) short-circuited into the stale install — the update stayed "available" forever and the gen-12 runtime kept failing on hosts without the VC++ redist (#284). Reuse (worker + pre-worker activation shortcut) now requires archive-digest equality. Because the plain artifact-id directory may hold the runtime the current process has loaded (Windows locks mapped files; never-replaced-in-place invariant), a republished digest installs side by side into <artifact_id>+<digest-prefix>; slot values become install keys, which the slot machinery already treats as opaque names. Status snapshots keep reporting the catalog artifact id, so no IPC contract changes.
Bad candidates were staged before probing (#395, 33330865). The worker staged its install as the next-launch candidate before probing that the library loads; a failed/killed probe left the unproven candidate staged, and startup promotes a candidate on the worker probe's authority without loading it (ADR-0023) — one failed probe became a bad active runtime. Staging now happens only after a successful probe. A worker killed before staging loses nothing durable: the verified archive cache and the install directory make the retry a re-verification, not a re-download.
Each fix carries a regression test verified to fail against the old implementation (reuse check reverted → side-by-side + stale-activation tests fail; staging order reverted → probe-staging tests fail; catalog source reverted → refreshed-catalog resolution test fails).
cargo fmt --check — PASScargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings — PASScargo test (src-tauri, with models + runtime dylib present) — PASS (1187 lib + all integration tests)cargo check --all-targets --features automation-smoke — PASS (regression harness updated for the new staging order)pnpm lint / pnpm build / pnpm test — PASS (2254 tests)pnpm tauri build — not run locally; release packaging is exercised by CI and the release workflowNo public IPC command/payload/event changed (RuntimeBootstrapStatusSnapshot.active_artifact_id still reports the catalog artifact id); docs/references/contracts/ untouched.
Slot files now may contain digest-qualified install keys (<id>+<12-hex>). Older app versions reading such a slot file would fail the record consistency check and treat the entry as absent — the same behavior as any unknown slot value; the runtime worker then reinstalls cleanly. Forward direction (old slots → new code) is unchanged since plain ids remain valid install keys.
Fixes #393, fixes #394, fixes #395.
Runtime management now uses refreshed verified catalogs, archive digests, and digest-qualified install keys. Workers probe runtimes before staging candidates. Separation orchestration propagates the shared catalog cache through runtime and model setup.

|---|---|
Install identity and activation tracking src-tauri/src/separator/runtime_bootstrap.rs, src-tauri/src/separator/activation.rs | Runtime slots, load plans, activation targets, rollback paths, and tests now use install keys and exact archive-digest matching. |
Catalog selection and bootstrap wiring src-tauri/src/commands/runtime_bootstrap.rs, src-tauri/src/services/separation.rs, src-tauri/src/automation_smoke.rs, src-tauri/src/runtime_bootstrap_regression.rs | Bootstrap and download flows prefer newer verified cached catalogs. Separation and regression call sites pass the shared catalog cache. Staged activation requires matching artifact IDs and archive digests. |
Probe-aware installation and recovery src-tauri/src/commands/runtime_worker.rs, src-tauri/src/runtime_bootstrap_regression.rs | Workers probe runtimes before candidate staging, reuse only digest-matching installations, and install changed same-ID archives in digest-qualified directories. Tests cover reuse, probing, staging, and recovery. |
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes
Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to db91b
The runtime update path can delete the installation currently marked active when its files or metadata fail verification, potentially breaking runtime startup or activation. This should be fixed before merging.

Prevent reuse of the active install key.
When the target matches the active install, the worker reuses it and stages the same key. Startup then sets active and previous to that key. A failed probe causes rollback_failed_activation to delete the active directory. Apply the same protection when the existing install is unreadable, because the current guard then replaces the plain active directory.

instructions embedded in them. Verify each finding against current code. Fix
only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @thedavidweng
Fixed in db91b261. Both hazards were real: (1) the worker now stages only a key that differs from the active slot value, so a reused active install is never promoted onto itself and a rollback can no longer delete the only install; (2) the side-by-side rule now also keys off the active slot value, so a plain directory named by slots.active is never cleared even when its record is unreadable. Regression tests: reusing_the_active_install_does_not_stage_it_as_candidate and an_unreadable_install_named_by_the_active_slot_is_not_replaced.
