Native-install upgrade via the in-app Apply Update button got the new
code in via `git reset --hard origin/main` but then logged
ERROR: Could not open requirements file:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'
and continued. The new deps never installed, leaving the user with
new code but stale dependencies — surfaces as cryptic import errors
on the next restart.
Root cause: `pip install -r requirements.txt` ran with
`cwd=settings.base_dir`. On a native install, systemd sets
DATA_DIR=$INSTALL_PATH/data so base_dir resolves to the data dir
(e.g. /opt/bambuddy/data), not the source tree. Pip doesn't walk up
looking for the requirements file the way git walks up looking for
.git, so it fails. Same bug affected the optional npm step
(`frontend_dir = base_dir / "frontend"` doesn't exist).
Fix: introduce `settings.app_dir` pointing at the source-tree root
(distinct from `base_dir` only on native installs) and run pip +
npm with `cwd=settings.app_dir`. Git ops keep using `base_dir`
because they already work (git walks up).
Docker users were unaffected — Docker doesn't use the in-app updater
(image pull replaces it).
Regression test in test_updates_api.py mocks every subprocess in
_perform_update, captures their cwd, and asserts the pip step runs
in app_dir and that requirements.txt actually exists there. Any
future refactor that re-introduces cwd=base_dir for the pip step
fails CI before another user trips over it.
