After an update is sent to a paired computer, its card in Settings → Remote stayed on "Updating" until someone chose Check for updates in the "…" menu, so it looked stuck.

Settings now reads that computer's status again every 5 seconds while its install is accepted, and the card settles on the new version by itself.

  • While the computer is away restarting, the card keeps the "Updating" badge and version line instead of flipping to "Not reachable".
  • The note now reads "It restarts when done. This status updates on its own." (German and Spanish translated).
  • After 10 minutes the automatic reads stop and the card shows the old note with a Check again button; pressing it resumes them.
  • An install found in progress when Settings is reopened is followed too.
  • It only reads while the Remote section is showing, and uses the plain status read (remote_peer_info), not a remote update check.

Testing

Two new tests in ui/remote/tests.rs cover the follow, the restart gap, the settle and the 10-minute fallback. just ci passed in the pre-commit hook. Not yet seen against a real remote update; the next Work release is the first chance.

After an update was sent to a paired computer, its card stayed on
"Updating" until someone chose Check for updates in its menu, so it looked
stuck. Settings now reads that computer's status again every 5 seconds
while its install is accepted, and the card settles on the new version by
itself. While the computer is away restarting the card keeps saying
"Updating" instead of "Not reachable".

The follow stops after 10 minutes and the card then offers Check again,
which resumes it. It runs only while the Remote section is showing, and
also picks up an install found in progress when Settings is reopened.
