 ForgeFlow is een Windows-desktopapp voor wie Git, Gitea en eigen Docker- of Unraid-servers gebruikt. Je ziet in één werkruimte wat lokaal gewijzigd is, wat op Gitea staat en welke exacte commit op de server draait. ForgeFlow begeleidt je daarna veilig door review, commit, push, deployment en verificatie.

+# ForgeFlow 0.10.4
+
+## Permanent packaged updater handshake repair
+
+- Binary and source update helpers now use a Windows PowerShell 5.1-compatible atomic status replacement with a real temporary backup path.
+- A deterministic overwrite fallback preserves lifecycle reporting on filesystems that do not implement atomic replacement.
+- The binary helper exposes a side-effect-free handshake-only verification mode exercised by the real Windows PowerShell executable during tests.
+- existing installations with the defective helper require this one-time installer upgrade; every subsequent packaged update uses the repaired helper automatically.
+- Startup failures retain request-scoped status and helper-log evidence instead of collapsing into an unexplained exit-code message.

+# ForgeFlow 0.10.5
+
+## Consistent repository and deployment links
+
+- Every repository workspace now shows all configured deployment environments in a compact, directly actionable strip.
+- The repository deployment tab includes every detected server workload linked to that repository, including its container, Compose identity, server and runtime state.
+- A workload is only labelled linked when its repository and resolved profile both exist in the current ForgeFlow configuration.
+- Stale or incomplete metadata is shown as **Link unresolved** and routed through explicit reconciliation instead of being presented as a healthy deployment.
+- The global deployment inventory links directly to the correct repository deployment profile.
+- Responsive browser coverage now verifies valid links, unresolved links, repository navigation and scrolling across dark/light and scaled layouts.

+# ForgeFlow 0.10.6
+
+## Permanent Windows updater launch repair
+
+- ForgeFlow no longer launches hidden PowerShell update helpers with Node's defective Windows `detached` process mode.
+- Binary and source updater processes remain hidden, are explicitly unreferenced after their verified handshake, and continue independently when ForgeFlow closes.
+- A real Windows regression test now exercises the exact production Node spawn options instead of using a different process API.
+- Startup is still fail-closed: ForgeFlow remains open unless the request-scoped helper status reaches `started`.
+- Versions 0.10.4 and 0.10.5 need a one-time direct installation of 0.10.6 because their installed launcher cannot execute its own helper; updates after 0.10.6 use the repaired path.
