How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it download or install the update?
No. WebRun reads the announcement and reports the version, the date, and what changed. Downloading and installing stay with a person, so nothing lands on a studio machine mid project.
Do I need a GIMP account for this?
No. Everything WebRun reads is on the public gimp.org site, so there is no account to create. The only sign-ins are the Google Sheets file and the Telegram channel you want the note in.
What if nothing was released this week?
Nothing is sent. WebRun only messages Telegram when the version number on gimp.org differs from the one in your sheet, so the channel stays quiet between releases.
