ForgeFlow stores credentials, repository mappings, preferences, deployment profiles, diagnostics and operation history outside the source directory.
## Built-in source update
## Source checkouts
Open **Settings → ForgeFlow updates** and choose:
Integrated source replacement is disabled until source archives are covered by the same independent publisher signature as packaged releases. A server-provided commit SHA and a checksum calculated from the downloaded archive do not independently authenticate its publisher, while dependency installation can execute package lifecycle scripts.
1. **Check now**
2. **Download update**
3. **Apply & restart**
Update a source checkout through Git instead:
The default update source is the configured Gitea instance, repository `Jens/ForgeFlow`, branch `main`.
1. fetch the configured upstream;
2. review the exact commit and release notes;
3. switch to the intended release commit or tag;
4. run `npm ci --ignore-scripts` and review the dependency lifecycle allowlist;
5. run `npm run check` before starting ForgeFlow.
The updater pins the download to the exact remote commit, checks the archive SHA-256, starts an external PowerShell helper and waits for a structured `started` marker. ForgeFlow closes only after that marker exists. The helper then:
1. waits for the old process to exit;
2. backs up the current source;
3. extracts and validates the requested semantic version;
4. mirrors the incoming source;
5. runs `npm ci --no-audit --no-fund` when the published release contains `package-lock.json`, otherwise a pinned direct-dependency `npm install`;
6. runs `npm run check`;
7. writes the successful installation result before restart;
8. launches the installed Electron executable directly;
9. persists `success`, `failed` or `rolled-back` state for the next launch.
A failed validation restores the previous source. A successful installation is not rolled back merely because automatic restart fails; start ForgeFlow manually and the persisted result is shown.
Update logs and status files are stored beneath ForgeFlow's local user-data `updates` folder and exclude the Gitea token.
The in-app updater remains available for signed packaged Windows releases.
