Research direction

The bug is in install.sh at line 52, where the awk pattern hardcodes the old repository slug 'CommandCodeAI/gui'. The fix is to update the pattern to match the current repository 'CommandCodeAI/desktop' or, better, use the existing REPOSITORY variable. Also check line 232 for a stale macOS error message. Run the script with COMMANDCODE_INSTALL_DRY_RUN=1 to verify it resolves an asset name like 'CommandCode-*-amd64.deb'.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Bug: install.sh on main can never match a release asset, so macOS/Linux installs always fail with "No verified package was found in the 20 newest releases."

Root cause: REPOSITORY was corrected to CommandCodeAI/desktop, but the awk matcher inside read_asset_metadata() still hardcodes the old repo slug:

# install.sh:52
/"url": "https:\/\/api.github.com\/repos\/CommandCodeAI\/gui\/releases\/assets\// {

Every asset url in the current release JSON is .../repos/CommandCodeAI/desktop/..., so in_asset is never set and no artifact can resolve.

Minimal fix:

- /"url": "https:\/\/api.github.com\/repos\/CommandCodeAI\/gui\/releases\/assets\// {
+ /"url": "https:\/\/api.github.com\/repos\/CommandCodeAI\/desktop\/releases\/assets\// {

or better, interpolate the existing variable so it can’t drift again:

/"url": "https:\/\/api.github.com\/repos\/" repo "\/releases\/assets\//"   # with -v repo="$REPOSITORY"

Also minor: install.sh:232 still fails Darwin:* with "The current macOS preview supports Apple silicon only", but Darwin:x86_64 is handled above it — the message is stale.

Suggested regression test: COMMANDCODE_INSTALL_DRY_RUN=1 ./install.sh asserting the script resolves a real asset name (e.g. CommandCode-*-amd64.deb) against the live release JSON.

Found while researching a fork — verified the matcher cannot hit the current release payload.
