Description

Summary

Some nodes are receiving information about a new version of the node installer being available, even though this version is intended for e.g., the testnet. Updating does nothing.

Possible Solution (optional)

Update the version check logic to be network-aware (devnet, testnet, mainnet), so that version notifications are only shown when a newer release is available for the node network variant.

Research direction

Start by tracing the installer’s version check logic and how it identifies the current network variant. Verify the behavior for devnet, testnet, and mainnet: notifications should appear only when a newer release exists for the active variant, and updating should remain meaningful.
