electron-updater 6.8.9: MacUpdater

Verified sample for npm electron-updater 6.8.9: MacUpdater. The contract ran on node 22 · linux alpine/x64 · docker and passed.

sha256:bea781697a415d37e46834fd058d738c57d77a061911e718de5e9847c319116b

This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. MacUpdater is exported as a class extending AppUpdater from electron-updater
  2. MacUpdater.filterFilesForArch selects arm64 target files on arm64 architecture
  3. MacUpdater.filterFilesForArch excludes arm64 files on x64 architecture
  4. MacUpdater.filterFilesForArch falls back to universal/x64 files on arm64 when no arm64 build is present
  5. MacUpdater initializes with configurable publish options and app adapter defaults
  6. MacUpdater supports configuring autoDownload, allowPrerelease, and update channel
  7. MacUpdater forwards error events from the underlying native autoUpdater
  8. MacUpdater tracks squirrelDownloadedUpdate and handles quitAndInstall workflow

PROMPT.md
Clean-room public code sample — generation instructions

Write a brand-new, minimal, self-contained code sample in this clean-room directory.
Do not copy, paraphrase, or reference any existing project source. Work only from this spec.

A csx.json manifest scaffold already exists. Do not recreate it from memory. Preserve its case.goal, packages and symbols; fill its empty case.contract with exact assertions and correct its environment, commands and verifierAdapter for the files you generate.

Goal: verify MacUpdater in pkg:npm/electron-updater@6.8.9
Kind: HOW

Use EXACTLY these public packages and versions:
  - pkg:npm/electron-updater@6.8.9
Demonstrate these symbols/APIs:
  - MacUpdater

Rules:
  - One focused purpose; the smallest project that proves the goal.
  - Include a contract test (test/contract.*) that runs OFFLINE and exits 0 exactly when the goal behavior works.
  - Pin every dependency with a lockfile so resolution is reproducible.
  - No secrets, credentials, or tokens. No real URLs (only example.com or localhost). No absolute paths.
  - No personal names, emails, company names, or project identifiers of any kind.
  - No binaries and no generated output (node_modules, dist, target, venv, .git, .env).
  - Keep it under 200 files and 256KB packed.
