Fixes DOPE-601.

Housekeeping found while working DOPE-538: npm install in this repo kept trying to rewrite version fields that had nothing to do with that change.

What had drifted

File Was Now
src/frontend/data/constants/app-version.ts (APP_VERSION) 4.2.12 4.2.12
package.json 4.2.12 4.2.12
package-lock.json 4.2.10 4.2.12
release/app/package.json 4.2.2 4.2.12
release/app/package-lock.json 4.1.4 4.2.12

Cause: the release procedure in CLAUDE.md bumps APP_VERSION and package.json by hand. Nothing bumps the lockfiles or release/app, and nothing checks them.

No release ever shipped wrong — but a local build did

release.yml takes the version from the git tag and runs npm version at the root and in release/app before packaging, so a tagged release corrects itself in the runner.

A local npm run package did not. electron-builder reads release/app/package.jsonelectron-builder.json sets directories.app to release/app — so until this PR a local build produced a binary labelled 4.2.2.

CLAUDE.md asserted the opposite ("package.json.version is what electron-builder stamps"), so it is corrected here. The new passage also tells the reader to bump with npm version --no-git-tag-version --allow-same-version rather than editing by hand, since that is what updates the lockfiles.

Diff

Five version fields plus the CLAUDE.md paragraph. No dependency added, removed or upgradednpm version rewrites the version field without resolving the tree.

Worth doing next, not here

A CI assertion that APP_VERSION === package.json.version === release/app/package.json.version would turn this class of drift into a red check instead of something noticed by accident a year later. CLAUDE.md already records the wish. Filed as the follow-up section of DOPE-601 rather than bolted on, to keep this diff reviewable at a glance.

Mirror of https://github.com/Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web/pull/724 — no shared surface is touched, so the sync gates skip; the two PRs are paired only because the CLAUDE.md correction applies to both repos.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Clarified application versioning guidance, including the authoritative version source, release tag alignment, workflow-dispatch fallback behavior, and required update steps.
    • Documented how the installer and About dialog obtain and display the application version, helping prevent mismatched version information.
  • Chores

    • Updated the application package version from 4.2.2 to 4.2.12.

APP_VERSION and package.json read 4.2.12 while package-lock.json was left at
4.2.10; on the editor, release/app/package.json sat at 4.2.2 and its lockfile
at 4.1.4. The release procedure bumps the first two by hand and nothing bumps
or checks the rest.

No release ever shipped wrong: release.yml takes the version from the tag and
runs `npm version` at the root and in release/app before packaging. A LOCAL
editor package build did take release/app's stale value, because
electron-builder reads that file — `directories.app` points at it — not the
root one. CLAUDE.md said the opposite, so it is corrected here and now tells
the reader to bump with `npm version`, which updates the lockfiles that hand
edits miss.

Version fields only. No dependency added, removed or upgraded.

Walkthrough

The release application version changed to 4.2.12. Documentation now describes version resolution, release tag alignment, and the electron-builder version source.

Tags and packages match without fail,
The About dialog shines,
Release guidance aligns,
And tiny numbers hop in mail.

Reviewed together with openplc-web#724 — same change, same context. The CLAUDE.md findings apply identically to both; one web-only finding (the package-lock.json / pnpm-lock.yaml tree divergence feeding the web CD workflows) is filed on the web PR.

Verified

Everything the PR body claims checks out: electron-builder.json:10 does set directories.app: release/app; release.yml runs npm version … && cd release/app && npm version … in all 5 packaging jobs; web production-cd.yml:24 / staging-cd.yml:53 really do npm install with cache: 'npm'; both repos' root package-lock dependency sets are in sync with their package.json (0 mismatches), as is release/app/package-lock.json. The version fields touched are the right ones, 4.2.12 is consistent with APP_VERSION and both package.json files, no dependency was added/removed/re-resolved in any lockfile diff, and the two CLAUDE.md paragraphs are byte-identical across repos.

4 low

Inline below; one finding lands outside the diff:

The surviving parenthetical now contradicts the new paragraph — low, CLAUDE.md:355 (editor :309, outside the diff)

(Ideally package.json.version should be derived from APP_VERSION in the release workflow so a single bump can never drift.)

Deriving only the root leaves release/app/package.json — the field electron-builder actually reads, and the one that had drifted to 4.2.2 — plus both lockfiles free to drift again. The PR body's own follow-up correctly names release/app/package.json; this line should too, otherwise the recorded wish, implemented literally, would not prevent a recurrence.

Review on #724 / #1074.

The earlier correction paired `APP_VERSION` with the git tag and kept
"if the two ever disagree, fix it to match" — which has no actionable
subject, since a pushed tag cannot be fixed. Worse, it dropped a real
invariant: `release.yml` stamps the binary from the tag while About
renders `APP_VERSION`, so tagging v4.3.0 against APP_VERSION 4.2.12
ships an installer labelled 4.3.0 whose About says 4.2.12 — the 4.2.7 /
4.2.8 failure wearing a different hat. The roles sentence goes back to
naming `APP_VERSION` and `package.json.version`, and the tag invariant
is stated on its own, with the warning that it must be checked before
tagging.

"A tagged release is always correct" also overstated it. `release.yml`
resolves the version as dispatch input, then tag, then root
`package.json` — so a `workflow_dispatch` with an empty input stamps
whatever the repo happens to say, the exact drift this branch repaired.
Scoped to tag-triggered runs, with both exceptions named.

`app-version.ts` carried the same wrong claim this branch set out to
correct — "the editor's electron-builder reads `package.json.version`" —
in the file a developer actually opens to bump the version, and it is
byte-identical shared surface, so leaving it meant another coordinated
mirror PR later.
