fix(version): check for updates against the published image, not commit count - #587
Conversation
…it count The update check compared the build number baked into the running image against the number of commits on main. Those are not the same thing: a commit that touches no image path — docs, workflows, and more of them since #581 stopped needless rebuilds — advances the commit count while publishing nothing. Every instance was then told an update was ready that it could never pull. Measured before the fix: :full carried BUILD_NUMBER=1550 while main stood at 1551 commits, and _check_remote_version returned update_available=True. It now asks the registry what actually exists — an anonymous GHCR read of the rolling tag this container tracks (:full when CHUB_IMAGE_FLAVOR=full, else :latest), pulling BUILD_NUMBER back out of the image config. Any failure returns None and claims no update, so an unreachable registry cannot raise a badge.

CodeQL on the new tests, four alerts in one round: 335/336/337 (incomplete URL substring sanitization) — the mock router keyed off `"raw.githubusercontent.com" in url`. Harmless in a fixture, but it is the bypassable shape the query exists to catch (a path or query can carry the host string), and leaving it teaches the pattern. Now compares urlparse().netloc. 338 (module imported with both `import` and `import from`) — the new `import backend.util.version as version_mod` sat beside the existing `from` import purely to reach `requests` for monkeypatching. String targets do that without the module object, so the second import form is gone. Also trims _published_build's docstring to the comment cap, per CodeRabbit and the path instructions — the rationale for reading the registry lives in the PR body, not the module.

CodeRabbit, and it was right: _ghcr() routed both manifests/full and manifests/latest, so the test passed whichever tag _published_build requested. Verified by mutation — hardcoding tag="latest", which makes every :full instance compare itself against the lean image, passed all 13 tests. Now parameterized over full / lean / unset, asserting the requested manifest path rather than only the number that comes back. The same mutant now fails.

Summary
The update check compared the build number baked into the running image against the number of commits on main. Those are not the same thing: a commit touching no image path — docs, workflows, and more of them since #581 stopped the needless rebuilds — advances the commit count while publishing nothing. Every instance was then shown an update badge for an image that does not exist.
Measured before the fix, on the live repo:
It now asks the registry what actually exists.
Related issue
N/A — found while auditing whether
BUILD_NUMBERstill earns its place (it does; that is why this is a fix and not a removal).Type of change
Shape
_published_build()does an anonymous GHCR read of the rolling tag this container tracks —:fullwhenCHUB_IMAGE_FLAVOR=full, else:latest— and pullsBUILD_NUMBERback out of the image config. No credentials; the package is public.Fail direction is deliberate. Any failure (token, manifest, blob, missing env) returns
None, and_check_remote_versionthen reports no update. For a notifier a false "you're up to date" is benign and self-correcting; a false "update ready" is the bug being fixed, so an unreachable registry must never raise a badge.The returned dict keeps its shape.
build_countchanges meaning from "commits on main" to "newest published build" — audited, and nothing outsideversion.pyreads it (system.js's JSDoc does not even list it).remote_version's display format is unchanged, sonotification_formatting.pyandSystemSettingsPage.jsxare untouched.The simpler shape I did not take: drop the build comparison entirely and notify only when the base version changes. That deletes this helper rather than adding it — but
:latest/:fullare the documented default and do not track release tags, so their users would hear nothing between releases. That matters most exactly when a release is deliberately not cut. Easy to switch to if you would rather have release-only notifications.Testing
Seven new tests, including the regression itself: with the published build equal to the local build, the check must report no update and must never call the commits API — asserted by recording the URLs it fetches.
Mutation-tested: restoring the commit-count comparison fails both new behaviour tests.
