feat(web): update providers on every machine with one click

[t3dotgg]

To keep Codex, Claude, and the other providers current across several machines, you had to open Settings → Providers, select each environment, and update each provider one at a time.

Settings → Providers now has an Update all button next to Refresh. It sends a one-click update for each outdated provider on each connected environment, all at once. This is safe because each server already queues updates that share an installer. When the updates finish, one toast shows the results, with one line for each failure (for example Laptop · Codex: npm exited with code 1.). Hover the button to see what it will update. Providers that only offer a manual update command are not included, the same as in the launch popover.

The button does not check permissions on each machine first, because that would fetch every remote's session each time the page opens. The server still rejects updates that a session is not allowed to run, so that machine shows up as a failure line in the toast.

This is a smaller version of #13079. It adds a Settings action only and does not change the launch popover.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This adds a new cross-machine Settings workflow that can trigger provider installations concurrently across all connected environments. The implementation reuses existing update and permission paths, but the expanded operational scope and multi-machine side effects warrant human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The provider settings section now includes an action to update eligible providers across connected environments. The action runs updates concurrently and summarizes settled results in a toast. Documentation describes the action and its scope.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9f1e2

Update all can leave eligible installations outdated when multiple instances share a provider driver. The change is mergeable with explicit acceptance of this limitation, though preserving candidates by instance ID would address it.

Preserve one-click candidates by instanceId.

ProviderUpdatesAction sends one request for each retained candidate. ProviderMaintenanceRunner.updateProvider resolves and updates only the supplied instanceId. Driver-level deduplication can therefore leave another eligible installation outdated.

Suggested fix

-  return dedupeProvidersByDriver(providers.filter(isProviderUpdateCandidate));
+  return dedupeProvidersByInstanceId(providers.filter(isProviderUpdateCandidate));
