AutoUpdater

A built-in update engine that runs inside the server process — no Claude session needed.

How It Works

Section titled “How It Works”
  1. Checks npm for new versions every 30 minutes
  2. Auto-applies updates when available
  3. Notifies you via Telegram with a changelog summary
  4. Self-restarts after updating

Status

Section titled “Status”
Terminal window
curl localhost:4040/updates/auto

Manual Check

Section titled “Manual Check”
Terminal window
curl localhost:4040/updates
curl localhost:4040/updates/last

No Session Required

Section titled “No Session Required”

Previous versions used a update-check prompt job that spawned a Claude session to check for updates. The AutoUpdater replaces this with a lightweight server-side check — no Claude session needed, no quota consumed.

The old update-check job still exists in jobs.json for backward compatibility but is disabled by default.
