Matt Hill b0b4b41c42 feat: unified restart notification with reason-specific messaging (#3147)
* feat: unified restart notification with reason-specific messaging

Replace statusInfo.updated (bool) with serverInfo.restart (nullable enum)
to unify all restart-needed scenarios under a single PatchDB field.

Backend sets the restart reason in RPC handlers for hostname change (mdns),
language change, kiosk toggle, and OS update download. Init clears it on
boot. The update flow checks this field to prevent updates when a restart
is already pending.

Frontend shows a persistent action bar with reason-specific i18n messages
instead of per-feature restart dialogs. For .local hostname changes, the
existing "open new address" dialog is preserved — the restart toast
appears after the user logs in on the new address.

Also includes migration in v0_4_0_alpha_23 to remove statusInfo.updated
and initialize serverInfo.restart.

* fix broken styling and improve settings layout

* refactor: move restart field from ServerInfo to ServerStatus

The restart reason belongs with other server state (shutting_down,
restarting, update_progress) rather than on the top-level ServerInfo.

StartOS Backend

Structure

  • startos: This contains the core library for StartOS that supports building startbox.
  • helpers: This contains utility functions used across both startos and js-engine
  • models: This contains types that are shared across startos, js-engine, and helpers

Artifacts

The StartOS backend is packed into a single binary startbox that is symlinked under several different names for different behavior:

  • startd: This is the main daemon of StartOS
  • start-cli: This is a CLI tool that will allow you to issue commands to startd and control it similarly to the UI
  • start-sdk: This is a CLI tool that aids in building and packaging services you wish to deploy to StartOS
