  • Setup program xpp-lens-setup-X.Y.Z.exe (Inno Setup): a wizard in Polish or English for the current user, no
    administrator rights. It finds PackagesLocalDirectory (xpplens detect, or choose the folder), asks for the label
    languages and whether to index the Microsoft standard, registers xpp-lens in Claude Desktop and Claude Code and
    offers to build the index. It puts xpplens on the user's PATH, adds Start menu entries (status, update the index,
    check for updates, uninstall) and an entry in Windows' installed apps; uninstalling asks whether to remove the index.
    An installation made by install.ps1 (C:\Tools\xpp-lens) is taken over in place with its settings and index.
  • xpplens update --install runs the setup program of the release silently into the current installation (SHA-256
    checked, --restart-claude passed on); releases without one still go through the ZIP and install.ps1.
  • restart-claude.ps1: the Claude Desktop restart of the installers, shared by install.ps1 and the setup program.
  • Test releases: a version can first be published as X.Y.Z-beta.N, marked as a pre-release on GitHub.
    xpplens update never offers it; xpplens update --install --pre installs the newest release including test
    releases, so a new version can be tried on one machine before everyone gets it. The regular X.Y.Z later
    replaces a test release through the usual xpplens update --install.
  • xpplens version, status and the MCP server report the full version of a test release (1.3.0-beta.1); versions
    compare with test releases before their final version (1.3.0-beta.2 < 1.3.0).

Development

  • Work happens on the branch dev; main always holds the last regular release. release.ps1 -Version X.Y.Z -Pre
    publishes a test release from dev; release.ps1 -Version X.Y.Z opens the pull request dev → main, waits
    for its CI, merges it (merge commit), tags the merge and publishes the release, then moves dev to main.
    CI also runs for pushes to dev. The release notes of a test release come from the section of its final version.

### Added
- Test releases: a version can first be published as `X.Y.Z-beta.N`, marked as a pre-release on GitHub.
  `xpplens update` never offers it; `xpplens update --install --pre` installs the newest release including test
  releases, so a new version can be tried on one machine before everyone gets it. The regular `X.Y.Z` later
  replaces a test release through the usual `xpplens update --install`.
- `xpplens version`, `status` and the MCP server report the full version of a test release (`1.3.0-beta.1`); versions
  compare with test releases before their final version (`1.3.0-beta.2` < `1.3.0`).

### Development
- Work happens on the branch `dev`; `main` always holds the last regular release. `release.ps1 -Version X.Y.Z -Pre`
  publishes a test release from `dev`; `release.ps1 -Version X.Y.Z` opens the pull request `dev` → `main`, waits
  for its CI, merges it (merge commit), tags the merge and publishes the release, then moves `dev` to `main`.
  CI also runs for pushes to `dev`. The release notes of a test release come from the section of its final version.
- packaging/inno/xpp-lens.iss: wizard (PackagesLocalDirectory, label languages,
  standard models), PATH, Start menu, uninstall; takes over C:\Tools\xpp-lens
- xpplens update --install runs the setup program silently when the release has one
- restart-claude.ps1 shared by install.ps1 and the setup program
- CI builds the setup program on every push; the Release workflow publishes it
