Merge origin/main: reconcile ConfigWindow consolidation with Debug window + protocol updates

2026-08-02T07:34:43Z

origin/main (23 commits) added a Debug window/log system on top of the old separate Devices/Channels/Plot windows, plus protocol fixes (cml, mark10, modbus_rtu, scpi) and device/profile changes. Local main (3 commits) replaced the separate windows with a unified ConfigWindow + dock panel. Kept local's ConfigWindow/dock architecture and ported the Debug window onto it: new toolbar button + _open_debug(), gated by developer_mode same as origin's version. Deduped the two independent "developer mode" toggles that had collided in SettingsWindow (origin's General-tab checkbox gating Debug window + device sim-mode visibility, local's Advanced-tab checkbox setting verbose logging) into one General-tab checkbox that does both.

Add PyInstaller packaging and tufup-based auto-update pipeline

2026-07-31T21:52:28Z

Full pipeline, verified end-to-end against the real installed tufup 0.10.0 API (initial docs/summaries turned out inaccurate in places — e.g. the apply method is download_and_apply_update, not update; confirmed by inspecting installed package source directly rather than trusting docs alone): - core/version.py: single-source app version constant. - labdaq.spec: PyInstaller onedir build (must be onedir, not onefile — tufup replaces individual files in the install dir on update). Bundles ui/*.qss, plugins/ (needed for runtime plugin discovery), and repository/metadata/root.json once repo_init.py has produced one. Built and smoke-tested: the frozen exe launches and stays running. - scripts/release/{repo_init,repo_release}.py: maintainer-run release tooling using tufup.repo.Repository, manual local signing (keys never touch CI). Both actually run end-to-end during development of this feature against a real build, not just written and assumed correct. Longer expiration_days than tufup-example's CI-oriented defaults (targets/snapshot/timestamp 90d instead of 7d/7d/1d), since we're signing manually, not on an automated daily schedule — see scripts/release/README.md for the re-signing cadence this still requires even between releases. - core/updater.py: thin Client wrapper. Refuses to run outside a frozen build (getattr(sys, "frozen", False)) since there's no installed bundle for tufup to update in `python main.py` dev mode. Bootstraps the bundled root.json into the metadata cache dir on first run — tuf.ngclient.Updater loads root.json from local disk on construction, it does not fetch it remotely by design (the root of trust can't come from the same server being verified). - core/app_settings.py: factored out app_data_dir() (was inline in _settings_path()) so the updater's metadata/target cache dirs live in the same per-user location as settings.json, deliberately outside the install directory an update can replace/move. - Settings > General: version display + "Check for Updates" button, manual-only per discussion (no silent background network calls or surprise restarts for a lab-instrument-control app). Metadata/targets are hosted on this repo's "updates" GitHub Release — a fixed tag, not a normal per-version tag, because TUF's top-level metadata needs a stable URL across app versions. No such GitHub-Releases- hosting example exists in tufup or tufup-example; verified this by fetching tufup-example's actual GitHub Actions workflow file directly after a web search wrongly suggested one existed — the design here is ours, not copied from upstream. Not yet done, deliberately left for the user: running repo_init.py for real (generates production signing keys), and creating the actual "updates" GitHub Release. Both are irreversible-ish, security-sensitive, externally-visible actions outside what should happen without the user directly driving them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5
