Sentry Crash Report:

Description Nate Graham 2025-03-20 13:47:44 UTC 
Git master, Fedora KDE 41, offline updates.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. See DiscoverNotifier in the tray, alerting you to the presence of available updates.
2. Click on it to launch Discover.


OBSERVED RESULT
Discover launches, goes to the updates page *and immediately begins installing updates!*


EXPECTED RESULT
Discover launches, goes to the updates page, and then does nothing until the user initiates an action.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've had this happen twice now. The first time I second-guessed myself and thought maybe I pressed the "Update" button by accident, but then when it happened a second time, I realized what was going on.

Not reproducible with the Dummy backend. Might be specific to offline updates, or Fedora, or something else.
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2025-03-20 13:54:52 UTC 
Additional information:

- Also happens when launching Discover manually and navigating to the Updates page.
- When the unwanted automatic update begins, Discover's main window also immediately unexpectedly closes and update progress is shown in a notification.

Self-confirming due to other reports, and will be fixed with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/1064.
