Why

PackageUpdateService.IsGitInstallation() answered "yes" for anything whose package root starts with
Packages/. Registry (OpenUPM), file: and embedded installs all resolve there, so they were compared
against MCPForUnity/package.json on main/beta.

The result was a window announcing Update available: v10.3.0 (current: v10.0.0) while the Package
Manager correctly reported nothing to install — the registry had no 10.3.0 and the project had no Git
dependency to move. Two sources of truth, only one of them actionable.

What

  • GetInstallSource() replaces IsGitInstallation() and asks PackageInfo.source: Git, Registry,
    Local, Embedded, BuiltIn; anything imported into Assets/ is AssetStore. It falls back to the
    .git shape of packageId only when PackageInfo is unavailable.
  • Only Git and AssetStore have a remote channel to poll. Every other source returns a skipped result
    (CheckSkipped = true) pointing at the Package Manager, and never touches the Git/Asset Store cache —
    a GitHub number cached earlier in the day used to leak into unrelated installs.
  • CheckForUpdate / TryGetCachedResult / FetchAndCompare / CacheFetchResult route on the source
    instead of a bool; the window passes that source to the background check.

Tests

PackageUpdateServiceTests gains six cases: registry install does not fetch GitHub and never reports an
update; today's GitHub cache is not reused for a registry install; a local install short-circuits
TryGetCachedResult; Git installs still check the branch (regression guard); an embedded install touches
neither channel; CacheFetchResult does not seed the Git channel for registry installs.

The existing cache tests now pin the source to Git, because the test project installs the package with
file:../../../MCPForUnity, which resolves to a local source.

Docs

website/docs/guides/troubleshooting.md gains a short section mapping install source → version source, so
the next person hitting the mismatch knows which of the two is authoritative.

Not in this PR

A Git install pinned to a tag (#v10.0.0) still shows the notice even though the Package Manager cannot
advance it. Different fix (surface "edit the revision in manifest.json"); happy to follow up.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Update checks now distinguish Git, Asset Store, registry, local, embedded, built-in, and unknown installation sources.
    • Remote update checks run for Git and Asset Store installations, while other sources are marked as unavailable for remote updates with Package Manager guidance.
    • Git installations continue using their configured update branch.
  • Documentation

    • Added troubleshooting guidance for version differences between update notices and Unity Package Manager, including registry, file, embedded, and Git installations.

…Packages/ means Git

IsGitInstallation() returned true for anything under Packages/, so registry (OpenUPM), file: and embedded installs were compared against the GitHub branch package.json. The window could then announce an update the Package Manager had no way to install, while the Package Manager correctly reported no update.

PackageInfo.source now decides: Git, Registry, Local, Embedded, BuiltIn, or AssetStore for anything imported into Assets/. Only Git and Asset Store have a channel to poll; the others return a skipped result and leave the cache alone.

📝 Walkthrough

The update service now classifies package installations by source and checks remote versions only for Git and Asset Store installs. Other sources return a skipped result. The editor window, tests, and troubleshooting guidance use the source-aware behavior.

Changes: Package Update Source Routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Installation source contract and detection
MCPForUnity/Editor/Services/IPackageUpdateService.cs, MCPForUnity/Editor/Services/PackageUpdateService.cs
The service adds UpdateInstallSource and GetInstallSource(). It classifies installations using package paths and Package Manager metadata.
Source-aware update checks and results
MCPForUnity/Editor/Services/PackageUpdateService.cs, MCPForUnity/Editor/Windows/MCPForUnityEditorWindow.cs
The editor passes the installation source to the service. Git and Asset Store installs use their respective remote channels and cache keys. Other sources return a skipped result and are not cached as remote checks.
Routing tests and troubleshooting guidance
TestProjects/UnityMCPTests/Assets/Tests/EditMode/Services/PackageUpdateServiceTests.cs, website/docs/guides/troubleshooting.md
Tests cover source-specific channel selection, cache behavior, and skipped checks. The troubleshooting guide describes version differences and update steps by installation method.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1976d

Update checks have a test gap for expired Git cache entries. The change is mergeable with owner awareness, though the test should be corrected to protect that behavior.

Pin the install source in CheckForUpdate_IgnoresExpiredCache_AndAttemptsFreshFetch.

The test project uses a file: dependency, which resolves as UpdateInstallSource.Local. CheckForUpdate skips Local installs before it reads the cache. The current else assertion therefore passes without testing cache expiration or a fresh fetch.

Use the testable service to force the Git path and return a fixed version:

♻️ Suggested fix
-            // Act
-            var result = _service.CheckForUpdate("5.0.0");
-
-            // Assert
-            Assert.IsNotNull(result, "Should return a result");
-            
-            // If the check succeeded (network available), verify it didn't use the expired cache
-            if (result.CheckSucceeded)
-            {
-                Assert.AreNotEqual(cachedVersion, result.LatestVersion, 
-                    "Should not return expired cached version when fresh fetch succeeds");
-                Assert.IsNotNull(result.LatestVersion, "Should have fetched a new version");
-            }
-            else
-            {
-                // If offline, check should fail (not succeed with cached data)
-                Assert.IsFalse(result.UpdateAvailable, 
-                    "Should not report update available when fetch fails and cache is expired");
-            }
