The SBC and RG34XXSP ports hand LÖVE a source *directory*
(`love <dir>`), so `love.filesystem.isFused()` is false there and
`Boot.run` bailed on its first line. The launcher still offered
"Update vX.Y.Z" and "Restart to update", so an update downloaded,
verified, and then was silently ignored forever.
- Boot.canUpdateInPlace() replaces the fused-only gate: a packaged
build updates whether it is fused (AppImage, Flatpak game.love) or
unpacked, and only a dev / source checkout (engine "0.0.0-dev") is
excluded. Fails closed when the host cannot be established.
Prelaunch.updateAllowed now delegates to it, so the boot gate and the
`--update` gate cannot disagree.
- Check.hostPort() reads the release-target marker, with
POKEPORT_HANDHELD as a legacy fallback (the SBC launcher has always
exported it, so packs predating this change still identify
themselves). The marker was read from the environment but never
exported, so a full-package fallback on a handheld resolved to a
desktop AppImage that cannot run there.
- A handheld now fetches its own package ("Download port update",
reusing the worker's cross-platform download_full) instead of
offering a URL it has no browser to open, and reports "Update package
ready" once it is in the save directory for a manual re-extract.
- Launchers export POKEPORT_PORTMASTER / POKEPORT_RG34XXSP.
An in-place update only ever mounts a payload over the running source,
so relaxing the gate is less invasive than the fused path it joins.
A runtime bump still needs a full package, which the minShell gate
already reports as needs_full.
Tests: tests/engine/update_boot_host_gate.lua (new, 10 checks) pins the
gate; update_check_tests.lua pins both port asset names and hostPort().
scripts/test.sh --quick: all tiers passed; scripts/lint.sh: 0 errors.

Drop the pointless zip wrapper around the x86_64 AppImage, harden HostShell
so bundled curl keeps APPDIR libs while host curl scrubs LD_LIBRARY_PATH /
Steam LD_PRELOAD, and add a Flatpak channel with --device=all, bundled
curl, and AppStream releases metadata. Portable mode now probes writability
with a unique temp file and falls back soft on RO mounts / Flatpak.
- Replaced `teardownMountedSession` and `flushEditorPackageLoaded` with a unified `SessionLifecycle` approach for managing session transitions and resource cleanup.
- Implemented `SessionLifecycle.endEditorSession` and `SessionLifecycle.endGameSession` to streamline the teardown process for editor and game sessions.
- Introduced `Assets.releaseSession` to handle GPU resource release at session end, ensuring efficient memory management.
- Updated `Game` and `Game2` reset methods to include world and canvas resource releases.
- Enhanced `MapLoader` with a new `releaseAll` method for eager GPU cache cleanup.
- Added tests to verify the new session lifecycle functionality and resource management.
This commit improves the stability and performance of in-process transitions, particularly during editor and game session changes.
further improves and addresses #1662 specifically around android gc pressure.
and updated the behavior of the patch notes
also fixed manual update checking
added test to make sure no prs or build tasks are able to pass if the luajit limits ar exceeded.
The save editor now routes Gold vs RBY through a generation adapter so boxes, items, events, and maps write the right fields. The launcher layout is shuffled a bit, and patch notes can come from the updater, a packed file, or the iOS sidecar.
