Module update 

kb update, and the app’s update: installs the latest release over this one, by running the installer the README gives, which downloads it, checks its checksum and replaces the binaries, then runs the new version’s init --all, so none of that is repeated here. Never while an agent works on a task: init --all would rewrite its instructions and a migration its data mid-session.

Enums

Install

How the running program was installed, which says how to update it.

Constants

INSTALL_PS1

The installer for Windows, likewise.

Functions

agents_working

The tasks agents are working on, in doing, in every registered repository and the central brain, as shop/api #3 title (#3 title in the central brain), as kb status names them: an update waits for them. A brain that can’t be read, such as one a newer kanbrain wrote, has none to wait for.

cargo_update_command

The cargo install that updates program to release (X.Y.Z), or to the latest when it isn’t known. The crate kanbrain on crates.io is the command line, whose latest cargo installs; the kanban app’s, kanbrain-app, isn’t there (GPUI comes from git), so it comes from the repository, at the release’s tag, else at main, which is the latest release. The app is told apart by its name, kanbrain: Program says nothing else about it, and a field it gained would break code building one.

check_no_agent_working

Refuses while agents_working finds any, naming them.

clear_installer_choices_ps1

PowerShell that clears [INSTALLER_CHOICES] in its session, to run before the installer there.

hide_console

Keeps a console window from flashing up when the app, which has none, runs a program on Windows.

install_of

How the program at exe was installed.

newer_release

The latest release’s version, X.Y.Z, when it’s newer than this one. Asks GitHub, through curl, for where its latest release is.

powershell_string

text as a PowerShell single-quoted string literal, which PowerShell reads back to exactly text, whatever its characters: for a folder or file in a command or script made for PowerShell. Nothing expands in single quotes, neither $ nor a backtick; only a single quote is special, written twice, and PowerShell takes the typographic ones (‘ ’ ‚ ‛) for one too.

run_installer

Runs the installer for app into dir, on Linux and macOS: the binaries are replaced by renaming, so the running ones carry on. captured, its messages are kept out of sight and the last of them make up the error when it fails, as the app wants; otherwise they’re printed.

updateDeprecated

update_program for kb, which this always names.

update_program

program’s update: runs the installer for the apps installed where this program is, into the same folder, unless an agent is working. On Windows it prints the PowerShell command instead, since a running program’s file can’t be replaced there. Installed with cargo install, it says how cargo updates it instead.
