Customer Impact
We have inconsistencies in update notification logic between the CLI and app host, which could result in missing update prompts. This change ensures both the CLI and app host use the same logic for checking package updates, leading to more reliable and predictable notifications and a consistent user experience.
Testing
Unit and integration tests were updated and/or added to cover the unified package checking logic. Manual verification was performed to ensure both the CLI and app host now provide consistent update notifications for various test scenarios.
Risk
Low to moderate. The change refactors and centralizes existing logic, reducing duplication but affecting both the CLI and app host. There is some risk of introducing subtle differences or regressions if edge cases are not covered, but overall, the risk is mitigated by automated and manual testing.
Regression?
No known regressions are expected. The refactoring addresses an existing inconsistency, so it should reduce the likelihood of future regressions in update notification logic by having a single source of truth.
