Release source of truth

Public releases are published to contextgo/contextgo-releases. The website download page and the desktop updater should both point to that same release source.

If the website version and the in-app update version do not match, treat that as a release pipeline issue first.

Use the least destructive checks first:

  1. Confirm account sign-in and browser callback behavior.
  2. Confirm the expected device is registered and online.
  3. Confirm remote access status if the issue appears in the browser or mobile client.
  4. Confirm runtime detection and provider authentication.
  5. Confirm the release version shown by the website and updater.

Common issue groups

Use this page as the entry point for the following symptoms:

  • browser sign-in does not complete
  • device binding does not refresh
  • remote access shows unavailable
  • a runtime is installed but cannot run work
  • update checks fail or show an unexpected version

When to compare versions

Compare release versions when:

  • the website offers one installer version and the desktop app shows another
  • a user reports an update that cannot be downloaded
  • a published release is missing from the download page
