fix(cli): apply FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS to /update version check and log fetchInfo results (#6857) (#6887)
* fix(cli): apply FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS to /update version check and log fetchInfo results (#6857)

The FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS = 2000 constant in updateCheck.ts was defined but
never wired up. update-notifier's fetchInfo() takes no timeout option,
so slow/unreachable registries (corporate proxies, offline networks,
scoped .npmrc mirrors without auth) would either hang the check or fall
back to whatever update-notifier internally decides — sometimes a stale
configstore cache, reported by users as '/update reports up-to-date on
0.19.9 when 0.19.10 is available.'

Race fetchInfo() against a bounded timer via Promise.race and surface a
new UpdateCheckTimeoutError when it fires, so '/update' returns the
existing 'error' status instead of silently reporting 'up to date.'

Also log the fetchInfo return value under the UPDATE_CHECK debug tag so
the next round of reports can distinguish 'registry returned the wrong
version' from 'we compared incorrectly' without adding more speculation.

Refs #6857

* fix(cli): carry dist-tag on UpdateCheckTimeoutError and cover nightly timeout paths

Address bot review on #6887:

- `UpdateCheckTimeoutError` now takes an optional `distTag` argument that
  is threaded through by `fetchInfoWithTimeout` and appended to the
  message. The nightly path fires `nightly` and `latest` fetches
  concurrently via `Promise.all`; without a dist-tag on the error, an
  oncall reading logs cannot tell which registry endpoint stalled (e.g.
  a corporate proxy that lets `nightly` through but blocks `latest`).
  The tag also lands on the error instance as a public `distTag` field
  so callers can branch on it programmatically.

- Add two regression tests for the nightly `Promise.all` timeout path:
  a single stalled dist-tag (asserts Promise.all propagates the timeout
  and names the exact tag) and both stalled (full outage — asserts we
  still surface a typed error with a valid tag). The non-nightly test
  now also asserts the message contains `for latest`.

QwenLM%2Fqwen-code | Trendshift

The open-source AI coding agent that lives in your terminal.

中文 | Deutsch | français | 日本語 | Русский | Português (Brasil)

Why Qwen Code?

  • Agentic out of the box — Auto-Memory, Auto-Skills, SubAgents, Agent Teams, and MCP. Dynamic workflows, zero setup.
  • Open-source, inside and out — The framework and the Qwen models are open-source. They evolve together. No vendor lock-in.
  • Multi-protocol — Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Qwen APIs. Any third-party provider or local model (Ollama / vLLM). Switch at runtime.
  • Beyond the terminal — IDE plugins, Desktop app, daemon mode, SDKs, and IM bots (Telegram / DingTalk / WeChat / Feishu).

Tip

Qwen Code is actively iterating on itself — using its own agent and models to file issues, submit PRs, review code, and run tests. Powered by the community, driven by AI.

Installation

Linux / macOS:

curl -fsSL https://qwen-code-assets.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/installation/install-qwen-standalone.sh | bash

Windows:

irm https://qwen-code-assets.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/installation/install-qwen-standalone.ps1 | iex

Restart your terminal after installation to ensure environment variables take effect.

NPM / Homebrew

NPM (requires Node.js 22+):

npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code@latest

Homebrew (macOS / Linux):

brew install qwen-code

Quick Start

qwen          # Launch interactive terminal UI
# Inside the session:
/auth         # Configure your provider and API key

See the Authentication Guide and Settings Reference for detailed setup.

Acknowledgments

This project was originally based on Google Gemini CLI v0.8.2. We gratefully acknowledge the Gemini CLI team's excellent work. Starting from Qwen Code v0.1, we stopped syncing with upstream and began independent development as a multi-protocol, multi-platform agent framework with deep integrations for Qwen models and beyond.
