Allen Houchins 051d12718c Add JetBrains ReSharper as a Windows Fleet-maintained app (#50659)
**Related issue:** Resolves #50567

Adds JetBrains ReSharper as a Windows Fleet-maintained app (winget
`JetBrains.ReSharper`, version `2026.2.0.2`).

ReSharper is a Visual Studio extension rather than a standalone app, so
it does not follow the pattern of the other JetBrains FMAs (Rider,
PhpStorm, DataGrip, etc.), which are plain NSIS installers that take
`/S`. Reviewers should read the risks below before approving — a couple
of things can only be confirmed from a validator run.

## What's here

- `ee/maintained-apps/inputs/winget/resharper.json`
- `ee/maintained-apps/inputs/winget/scripts/resharper_install.ps1` /
`resharper_uninstall.ps1`
- Generated `ee/maintained-apps/outputs/resharper/windows.json` +
`apps.json` entry
- Icon (`Resharper.tsx`, website PNG, alphabetical `index.ts` entries),
generated from JetBrains' own brand asset

## Decisions that differ from the other JetBrains FMAs

**`use_display_version_for_patch` is omitted.** Every other JetBrains
winget input sets it, but the ReSharper manifest has no
`AppsAndFeaturesEntries`, so the ingester hard-errors with
`use_display_version_for_patch is set but no DisplayVersion found in
winget manifest`. The patch policy therefore compares against winget's
`2026.2.0.2`.

**Custom `exists_query` instead of `fuzzy_match_name`.** The prefix is
loose enough to match a possible per-VS-instance suffix, and excludes
the separate ReSharper C++ and ReSharper SDK products:

```sql
SELECT 1 FROM programs WHERE name LIKE 'JetBrains ReSharper%' AND name NOT LIKE 'JetBrains ReSharper C++%' AND name NOT LIKE 'JetBrains ReSharper SDK%' AND publisher = 'JetBrains s.r.o.';
```

**Install script detects Visual Studio.** It builds `/VsVersion` from
the instances `vswhere` reports and runs the installer with
`/Silent=True /PerMachine=True /SkipEtwService=True`:

- `/PerMachine=True` — the installer otherwise targets `%LocalAppData%`,
which under Fleet's SYSTEM context would land in the SYSTEM profile
instead of the developer's. The path is not configurable
([RSRP-428991](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-428991)).
- `/SkipEtwService=True` — JetBrains documents that `EtwHostService.msi`
always raises a UAC prompt, so a fully silent install of every component
is not possible
([SUPPORT-A-3189](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/articles/SUPPORT-A-3189)).
- It then waits for the uninstall registry entry (what osquery reads),
because the web bootstrapper can outlive its own exit code, and logs the
resulting ARP entries.

**Uninstall removes every matching entry**, since ReSharper registers
one per Visual Studio instance, using the defensive `UninstallString`
parser and appending `/Silent=True` rather than the NSIS `/S`.

Switches come from [JetBrains' silent install/uninstall
article](https://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241485-How-to-use-silent-install-and-silent-uninstall-of-ReSharper-via-Command-Line),
not guesswork.

## `unique_identifier` is provisional

`program_publisher` is verified — `JetBrains s.r.o.` is hard-coded next
to the ARP value names (`DisplayName`, `DisplayVersion`,
`UninstallString`, `Publisher`) in `JetBrains.Platform.Installer.exe`,
extracted from the installer.

The **DisplayName is not verifiable offline.** The winget URL is a
two-stage web bootstrapper: the 69 MB `.web.exe` contains
`JetBrains.Platform.Installer.Bootstrap.exe`, which downloads the
JetBrains dotUltimate installer, which downloads the product packages.
The ARP entry is written by that downloaded stage under
`Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID}`, with
`DisplayName` taken from a per-VS-host `PresentableName`. So `JetBrains
ReSharper` is a best-supported guess.

It can be confirmed from a validator run:
`cmd/maintained-apps/validate/windows.go` searches `programs` with a
loose `LOWER(name) LIKE '%…%'` on both the catalog name and
`unique_identifier`, and logs `Found app: '<DisplayName>' … Version:
<ver>` after running `MutateSoftwareOnIngestion`. That reveals both the
true DisplayName and the post-mutation version. The install script
prints the same information. **Expect a follow-up commit correcting
`unique_identifier` (and possibly the exists query) once that log
lands.**

## Risks

1. **Payload is not pinned.** The SHA covers only the 69 MB
bootstrapper; roughly 1.7 GB is fetched from `download.jetbrains.com` at
install time. JetBrains publishes only a `windowsWeb` download for
ReSharper, so there is no offline installer to point at. Install
duration may exceed script timeouts.
2. **Requires Visual Studio.** With no VS present the installer has
nothing to install, so the script exits 1 with a clear message.
`windows-latest` runners ship Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise, so
validation should be able to install.
3. **`/PerMachine=True` conflicts with pre-existing per-user installs.**
JetBrains states machine-wide mode "is not compatible with existing
installations in user profiles"; one must be removed first.
4. **`/SkipEtwService=True` omits the ETW host service**, so
dotTrace/dotMemory profiling integration is incomplete. This is the
documented tradeoff for an unattended install.
5. **Version reconciliation unconfirmed.** If the DisplayName ends in a
marketing version, the JetBrains name-based version mutation fires and
the validator's prefix check passes; a VS-suffixed name would instead
fall back to the registry `DisplayVersion`.

# Checklist for submitter

- [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted
data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell
metacharacters.
- [x] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite
loops

## Testing

- [x] `go test ./ee/maintained-apps/...` passes; both output JSON files
parse; generated SHA matches the winget manifest.
- [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually — **not done.**
Install/uninstall need a Windows host with Visual Studio; relying on the
FMA Windows validator, which is also how `unique_identifier` gets
confirmed.

This is where the code for the public https://fleetdm.com website lives.

Bugs

To report a bug or make a suggestion for the website, create an issue in the fleet GitHub repository.

Testing locally

See https://fleetdm.com/handbook/engineering#test-fleetdm-com-locally

Deploying the website

To deploy changes to the website to production, merge changes to the main branch. If the changes affect the website's code, or touch any files that the website relies on to build content, such as the query library, osquery schema, docs, handbook, articles, etc., then the website will be redeployed.

Wondering how this works? This is implemented in a GitHub action in this repo. Check out the code there to see how it works! For help understanding what sails run and npm run commands in there do, check the scripts in website/package.json and in website/scripts/.

Changing the database schema

To deploy new code to production that relies on changes to the database schema or other external systems (e.g. Stripe), first put the website in "maintenance mode" in Heroku. Then, make your changes in the database schema. Next, if you have a script to fix/migrate existing data, go ahead and run it now. (e.g. sails run fix-or-migrate-existing-data). Then, merge your changes and wait for the deploy to finish. Finally, switch off "maintenance mode" in Heroku.

Note that entering maintenance mode prevents visitors from using the website, so it should be used sparingly, and ideally at low-traffic times of day.

Warning: Doing an especially sensitive schema migration? There is a potential timing issue to consider, thanks to an infrastructure change that eliminated downtime during deploys by using Heroku's built-in support for hot-swapping. Read more in https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/6568#issuecomment-1211503881

Wiping the production database

I hope you know what you're doing. The "easiest" kind of database schema migration:

sails_datastores__default__url='REAL_DB_URI_HERE' sails run wipe

Then when you see the sailboat, hit CTRL+C to exit. All done!
