WalkthroughThe updater passes the current version to its helper during restart. After a successful swap, the helper writes that version to a marker. During initialization, the updater consumes the marker and calls the optional ChangesApplied-version callback

A rabbit records the version in flight,
Then tucks it away after the swap is right.
On startup, the marker is read,
The callback gets the old version instead.
One-time bookkeeping, neatly done,
The rabbit hops off into the sun.

What changed in this PR
Adds an optional post-update callback to the v3 updater for bookkeeping such as refreshing an installer's registered version, implementing the draft API proposed in WEP #6203.
Changes:
- Adds
Config.OnUpdateApplied(previousVersion), invoked during initialization. - Passes the replaced version through a file marker across relaunch.
- Adds callback and marker tests, documentation, and a changelog entry.

… written Without the marker the new version never sees OnUpdateApplied, so its post-update bookkeeping would be skipped.

@coderabbitai Fixed in 5a7c03d: when the applied marker cannot be written after the swap, the helper removes it, restores the backup and returns 15 (16 if the restore fails), the same path as a failed launch, so the new version never runs without its OnUpdateApplied bookkeeping. |

Description
WEP: #6203
Apps had no hook for post-update bookkeeping, such as refreshing an NSIS
DisplayVersion.Config.OnUpdateApplied(previousVersion)is called once fromIniton the first launch afterRestartreplaced the app. The helper passes the replaced version in a marker file beside the installed app, so it works throughopen -non macOS where environment variables do not survive. If the marker cannot be written, the helper restores the old version instead of launching the new one. The callback runs only after the marker is removed, and not when the marker names the running version (the helper restored the old app after a failed launch).Type of change
How Has This Been Tested?
Added tests in
helper_test.goandupdater_test.gofor the marker round trip, the once-only callback, a marker that is not a regular file, and a marker naming the running version.cd v3 && go test ./pkg/updater/... && go vet ./pkg/updater/...pass on this branch alone;gofmt -lon the changed files is empty.Test Configuration
Fedora Linux 44 Workstation, amd64, GNOME on Wayland. Only the
pkg/updaterunit tests were run for this change, so nowails doctoroutput applies.Checklist:
website/src/pages/changelog.mdxwith details of this PR (v3 changelog entries are added automatically)An entry is added to
v3/UNRELEASED_CHANGELOG.mdand the updater guide is updated.This adds public API (a new optional config field, non-breaking), so it follows the WEP process: the proposal is #6203. This PR is its draft reference implementation and stays in draft until the WEP is decided.
The sibling updater PRs have landed (#6201, and the EXDEV fix through #6262); this branch is merged with current master.
