The window's footer, in this state
data: synthetic · meridian-day90v0.1.0

The tray says one thing about updates, and only while there is something to do: Restart to update once a version is staged (with a dot on the icon in Ask me first and Manually; without one in Automatically, where it also installs when you quit), Update available in Manually, a disabled progress line while downloading in the two asking modes, and Updates aren't installing with an amber dot when an update has failed three times or for three days (R3's one exception). After a quiet install the version line at the menu's foot says updated, as the window's footer does for seven days. No inbox message, no OS notification, no toast (D2; c137 inventory row 24).

Every state, side by side

Preference: Automatically · era: now. The menu's update line and version line per state; the icon's dot is named under each.
