Bring apps/desktop and ui-tui to a clean state for typecheck, eslint,
and prettier:
- Run prettier across both trees (printWidth/wrap drift; prettier is not
CI-enforced for these JS projects, so main had accumulated drift).
- Apply eslint --fix for padding-line-between-statements and perfectionist
import/export sorting.
- Manual fixes for non-auto-fixable rules:
- remove unused node:net import in electron/main.cjs (uses Electron net)
- replace inline `typeof import(...)` annotations with top-level
`import type * as EnvModule` in two ui-tui test files
- scoped eslint-disable no-control-regex on intentional sentinel/ANSI
regexes (mathUnicode.ts, text.ts)
- resolve react-hooks/exhaustive-deps per-case: correct swapped/missing
deps, collapse redundant session.* members, and justified disables on
settings mount-only data-load effects to preserve run-once behavior
No behavior changes; test pass/fail counts are unchanged from the main
baseline.
checkUpdates() ran `git rev-list HEAD..origin/<branch> --count`
unconditionally in the parallel probe batch, even on the shallow +
no-merge-base path where resolveBehindCount() ignores the result and
falls back to a SHA compare. In the #51922 failure mode that count walks
the entire remote ancestry (thousands of commits), so the work was pure
latency on every update check for the exact case the fix targets.
Split the probes into two phases: resolve --is-shallow-repository and
merge-base first, then run rev-list --count only when shouldCountCommits
says the number is meaningful (full clone, or shallow-with-merge-base).
The shallow/no-merge-base SHA fallback is preserved unchanged.
The desktop installer clones with `--depth 1`, so a public install's local
history often shares no merge-base with the freshly fetched origin tip. In
that state `git rev-list HEAD..origin/<branch> --count` enumerates the
entire remote ancestry and returns a meaningless huge number, surfacing as
e.g. "v0.17.0 (+12104)" in the update indicator (#51922).
The official-SSH branch of checkUpdates() already sidesteps this by reporting
a binary up-to-date check (`behind: currentSha === targetSha ? 0 : 1`), and
hermes_cli/banner.py guards the identical class for the CLI banner. The
passive desktop count path was the one place the shallow guard was missing.
Detect shallow + no-merge-base up front and fall back to the same SHA-based
binary check; full clones (developers / Docker dev images) keep the exact
count path unchanged. The resolution logic lives in a pure update-count.cjs
helper so it is unit-testable without booting Electron.
