electron.payload_choice¶

Pure helpers used by the Electron main process to build compatible payload version lists for the tray Backend Versions submenu and for optional Choose Backend Version prompts during install/update flows.

Functions¶

• orderedCompatiblePayloadVersions(payloads, compatiblePayloads) — versions from the payload index that satisfy the launcher compatibility range, newest first (same ordering as the tray menu).
• installableOnlyPayloadVersions(compatibleOrderedDescending, installedVersions) — compatible versions that are not yet installed locally.
• payloadChooserOffersMultipleVersions(compatibleOrderedDescending) — true when more than one compatible version exists (the optional chooser is only offered in that case).

Integration¶

• Implemented in electron/payload_choice.ts.
• Uses electron/update_policy.ts for compatibility checks and version ordering.
• Consumed by electron/main.ts together with electron/updater.ts.
• Covered by electron/payload_choice.test.js (run make electron-test).
