    v1.8.1 - Windows Update Fix

    What's New in v1.8.1

    This patch fixes the Windows self-updater, which could loop or stop before
    finishing when the release zip had a top-level folder or the app was installed
    in a protected location.

    🪟 Windows

    • The updater now flattens a zip that contains a single top-level folder, so the
      new build actually replaces the old one
    • If the install folder needs administrator rights, Windows now shows the UAC
      prompt instead of failing silently
    • The update retries if a file is briefly locked, and logs failures to
      %TEMP%\tapestry_update.log
    • The app relaunches in its install folder

    🛠️ Technical Improvements

    • Update paths are passed to the helper as JSON, not interpolated into the script
    • Documented the Windows CMake cache reset after a rename
