# ForgeFlow 0.5.3

## Confirmed source-update handoff

- ForgeFlow writes a launch request and waits for an external PowerShell **STARTED marker** before closing.
- A helper launch failure or timeout leaves ForgeFlow open and surfaces the real error.
- The updater records structured lifecycle state alongside the detailed update log.
- Successful installation remains valid even when automatic restart is unavailable.
- The next manual start shows a **visible update result** for success, failure, or rollback.
- The PowerShell helper uses the absolute Windows PowerShell executable where available.
- Success and rollback both attempt an **automatic restart**, with the result persisted for diagnosis.

## Included 0.5.x reliability improvements

- viewport-safe, scrollable deployment and settings dialogs;
- sticky modal action bars;
- large Git selections through NUL-delimited pathspec input;
