+- The update page fatal `Call to undefined function gsp_update_settings()` means the deployed `Panel/modules/administration/panel_update.php` is missing the top-level helper or is not the current repository copy.
+- `Panel/modules/update/update.php` only loads `Panel/modules/administration/panel_update.php` and calls `gsp_panel_update_section()`.
+- The configured update action uses `git clone --depth 1 --branch <configured branch> <configured repository source> <temporary checkout>`.
+- Clone failures are logged to `logs/update_trace.log` with the configured repository source and branch.
