Context

PR #51 bumps Velopack 1.2.0 → 1.2.161 and Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK 2.2.0 → 2.5.1. Self-update was owner-verified on a real install for v1.0.0, but not since. The v1.0.1-beta.1 rehearsal (#54) produces a dev-channel release that can be used to verify it without touching stable users.

Task

  • Install an older dev-channel build (e.g. gclo-dev-Setup.exe from v0.1.0-beta.15) on a test machine, or use an existing dev-channel install.
  • Help → Check for updates: confirm the update to 1.0.1-beta.1 is offered, downloads, applies, and the app relaunches with the new version shown in About.
  • Confirm icons/branding survive (the beta.14 blank-icon regression).
  • Note any Velopack behavior change since 1.2.0 in docs/RELEASING.md.

Label needs-owner: requires a real Windows install.

A dev-channel release now exists to test against: https://github.com/KofTwentyTwo/gclo/releases/tag/v1.0.1-beta.1 (Velopack 1.2.161, delta + full packages, releases.dev.json). Install gclo-dev-Setup.exe, then cut v1.0.1-beta.2 (or wait for the next dev tag) and confirm Help → Check for updates picks it up and applies the delta.
