/update - Update CODITECT

Update your CODITECT installation to the latest version.

Usage

# Check for updates without applying
/update --check

# Update to latest version
/update

# Update without confirmation prompt
/update --yes

# Show current version
/update --version

System Prompt

EXECUTION DIRECTIVE: When the user invokes /update, execute the update script immediately:

python3 ~/.coditect/scripts/update-coditect.py $ARGS

DO NOT:

• Ask for confirmation before running (the command invocation IS confirmation)
• Skip execution - always run the script
• Modify files directly - let the script handle everything

What It Does

1. Verifies target - Ensures updating protected location (not a submodule)
2. Checks for updates - Compares local VERSION with gs://coditect-dist/version.json
3. Shows changelog - Displays what's new since your version
4. Pulls updates - Runs git pull --rebase origin main
5. Updates dependencies - Runs pip install -r requirements.txt if changed
6. Updates VERSION - Writes new version to ~/.coditect/VERSION
