json.Unmarshal parses all numbers to float64, which breaks any integer
settings values. This PR changes MetaSettingsType.UnmarshalJSON to use
json.Decoder, which is capable of parsing into a meta-type json.Number,
which can be interpreted as a float or an integer. It also properly
handles pointer types.
## New release flow
1. Run "Bump Version" workflow with the desired version bump and the
prerelease flag set to `true`. This will push a new version bump to the
target branch and create a new git tag.
- See below for more info on how the version bumping works.
2. A new "Build Helper" workflow run will kick off automatically for the
new tag. Once it is complete, test the new build locally by downloading
with the [download
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/download-staged-artifact.sh).
3. Release the new build using the [publish
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/publish-from-staging.sh).
This will trigger electron-updater to distribute the package to beta
users.
4. Run "Bump Version" again with a release bump (either `major`,
`minor`, or `patch`) and the prerelease flag set to `false`.
6. Release the new build to all channels using the [publish
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/publish-from-staging.sh).
This will trigger electron-updater to distribute the package to all
users.
## Change Summary
Creates a new "Bump Version" workflow to manage versioning and tag
creation.
Build Helper is now automated.
### Version bumps
Updates the `version.cjs` script so that an argument can be passed to
trigger a version bump. Under the hood, this utilizes NPM's `semver`
package.
If arguments are present, the version will be bumped.
If only a single argument is given, the following are valid inputs:
- `none`: No-op.
- `patch`: Bumps the patch version.
- `minor`: Bumps the minor version.
- `major`: Bumps the major version.
- '1', 'true': Bumps the prerelease version.
If two arguments are given, the first argument must be either `none`,
`patch`, `minor`, or `major`. The second argument must be `1` or `true`
to bump the prerelease version.
### electron-builder
We are now using the release channels support in electron-builder. This
will automatically detect the channel being built based on the package
version to determine which channel update files need to be generated.
See
[here](https://www.electron.build/tutorials/release-using-channels.html)
for more information.
### Github Actions
#### Bump Version
This adds a new "Bump Version" workflow for managing versioning and
queuing new builds. When run, this workflow will bump the version,
create a new tag, and push the changes to the target branch. There is a
new dropdown when queuing the "Bump Version" workflow to select what
kind of version bump to perform. A bump must always be performed when
running a new build to ensure consistency.
I had to create a GitHub App to grant write permissions to our main
branch for the version bump commits. I've made a separate workflow file
to manage the version bump commits, which should help prevent tampering.
Thanks to using the GitHub API directly, I am able to make these commits
signed!
#### Build Helper
Build Helper is now triggered when new tags are created, rather than
being triggered automatically. This ensures we're always creating
artifacts from known checkpoints.
### Settings
Adds a new `autoupdate:channel` configuration to the settings file. If
unset, the default from the artifact will be used (should correspond to
the channel of the artifact when downloaded).
## Future Work
I want to add a release workflow that will automatically copy over the
corresponding version artifacts to the release bucket when a new GitHub
Release is created.
I also want to separate versions into separate subdirectories in the
release bucket so we can clean them up more-easily.

This migrates all remaining eventbus events sent over the websocket to
use the wps interface. WPS is more flexible for registering events and
callbacks and provides support for more reliable unsubscribes and
resubscribes.
