feat(cli): tell you when --version is out of date - #315
Conversation
`agentworkforce --version` printed a bare version number, which says what
you have but not whether it is current. It now also asks the npm registry
for the published `latest` and, when the installed build is behind it,
writes the upgrade command to stderr:
$ agentworkforce --version
4.1.45
Update available: 4.1.45 → 4.2.0
Run `npm install -g agentworkforce@latest` to update.
stdout stays exactly the version string, so `$(agentworkforce --version)`
keeps working in scripts while the notice still reaches a human.
The check is best-effort: it reads the few-dozen-byte `dist-tags` endpoint
rather than the full packument, times out after 1.5s, and resolves to "no
notice" on an unreachable registry, a non-JSON body, an unparsable version,
or a local build that is ahead of `latest`. It honours
`AGENTWORKFORCE_REGISTRY` / `npm_config_registry`, and is skipped entirely
by `AGENTWORKFORCE_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1` or `NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1`.
The wrapper bin answers `--version` before the CLI module graph loads, so
it delegates to the same `update-check` module in the implementation it
just validated; an install predating that module simply prints no notice.
The wrapper also reports which install won, so a project-local CLI is told
to run `npm install agentworkforce@latest` rather than a `-g` command that
would update a copy that did not run.

Review found three real defects in the `--version` update notice. **A project-local install was told to run `npm install -g`.** The wrapper hard-coded `scope: 'global'` on the bundled branch, but that branch is also taken when the invoked launcher *is* the project's own — `npx`, `node_modules/.bin`, an npm script — because `resolveProjectInstall()` skips a candidate that is this very file. Reproduced against a project tree: the notice suggested updating a global copy that had never run. The wrapper now asserts a scope only for the case it knows for certain (a newer project dependency beat the invoked install) and otherwise hands the validated entry URL to the module to infer from. `resolveInstallScope()` only recognised `<cwd>/node_modules`, so it also mislabelled a project install when run from a subdirectory. It now locates the directory owning the outermost `node_modules` on the module's path — the install root under both the hoisted and nested layouts — and calls the install project-local when the command ran anywhere inside that root, which is exactly where node would resolve it from. **`process.exit(0)` could truncate the notice.** A write to a piped stdout/stderr is asynchronous, so exiting on the next line can drop it. Both entry points now finish by running out of work instead. **The registry budget bounded a delay that was never acknowledged.** `--version` does not exit until the check settles, so the timeout is also the worst case it adds against a black-holed registry. Cut to 1s and documented as such, alongside the existing opt-outs. Tests: registry-backed cases now clear both opt-out variables, which the child would otherwise inherit from a CI image that sets `NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER`; the unreachable-registry case binds a socket that hangs up on contact rather than guessing a free low port; new coverage for the nested layout, an ancestor working directory, and the scope the wrapper declines to claim.

Both reproduced before fixing.
`isWithin()` rejected any relative path starting with `..`, but
`path.relative('/work/app', '/work/app/..cache')` is `..cache` — an ordinary
child whose name merely begins with dots. Running from such a directory
inside a project install got `npm install -g`. Only a bare `..` or a
`..<sep>` prefix means the path escaped the root.
Deriving the install root by joining the segments before `node_modules` and
resolving them breaks at a Windows drive root: the prefix of
`C:\node_modules\…` is the bare `C:`, and `path.resolve('C:')` yields the
current directory on that drive, not `C:\`. The root is now split off with
`path.parse()` and rejoined, so the drive letter survives.
The path arithmetic moves into `classifyInstallPath()`, which takes the
`path` implementation to apply — `resolveInstallScope()` stays the
URL-accepting entry point. Windows rules are then testable on Linux CI, which
is where these would otherwise have gone unnoticed.

The scope test claimed to cover `npx` / `node_modules/.bin` / npm scripts — where resolveProjectInstall() finds a candidate that is the invoked file and returns undefined — but its fixture had no project tree at all, so the bundled branch was reached because no candidate existed. It asserted the right thing about a path it never took, duplicating the test above it. The fixture can now install the real launcher as a project's own `agentworkforce` dependency, and the test invokes that binary from the project root, which is what makes the candidate the invoked file. It also asserts the entry handed to the update check lives inside the project tree — the input that makes resolveInstallScope() answer 'project'. Confirmed to fail when the bundled branch is changed back to claiming 'global', so it holds the regression it describes.

`isWithin()` treated `path.relative()` returning '' as "not inside". That
only happens when the two paths name the same location, and the identical
strings are already caught above — so the case it actually covered was
Windows comparing case-insensitively: `path.win32.relative('C:\Work\App',
'c:\work\app')` is '', and a project install run from a differently-cased
spelling of its own root was told to `npm install -g`.
Reproduced through the built module (`classifyInstallPath` returned 'global'
for that pair, 'project' for the same-case one) and covered by a mixed-case
assertion that fails without this change.

agentworkforce --versionprinted a bare version number, which says what you have but not whether it is current. It now also asks the npm registry for the publishedlatestand, when the installed build is behind it, writes the upgrade command to stderr:stdout stays exactly the version string, so
$(agentworkforce --version)keeps working in scripts while the notice still reaches a human at a terminal.How it works
packages/cli/src/update-check.ts(new, node-builtins only) reads thelatestdist-tag from…/-/package/agentworkforce/dist-tags— a few dozen bytes, rather than the multi-megabyte packument a package with our release cadence has — and compares it against the running build with the same semver rules the wrapper already uses to pick between installs.The check is strictly best-effort. An unreachable registry, HTML from a proxy, a 404 from a private registry that does not carry the package, an unparsable version, or a local build that is ahead of
latestall resolve to "no notice". Nothing in the module throws.AGENTWORKFORCE_UPDATE_CHECK_TIMEOUT_MS.--versiondoes not exit until the check settles, so this is also the most the check can add to the command; the normal case is one round trip, ~240ms against the real registry, and a refused connection returns immediately.AGENTWORKFORCE_REGISTRY→npm_config_registry→ npmjs.org. A non-http(s) value is ignored rather than fetched.AGENTWORKFORCE_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1, or the ecosystem-wideNO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1— images that set the latter mean it for us too. Either skips the check before any network work.Two call sites, one implementation
The wrapper bin answers
--versionbefore the CLI module graph loads, so it would otherwise never reach the check. It now delegates to the sameupdate-checkmodule inside the implementation it just validated, keeping the existing "resolve and validate even for--version" guarantee intact. An install old enough to predate that module simply prints no notice.The notice never points at a copy that did not run. The wrapper declares a scope only where it has certainty — a newer project dependency beat the invoked install — and otherwise hands over the validated entry URL, letting
resolveInstallScope()derive it from the install root. A CLI owned by the working tree is told to update without-g, including when reached through an ancestor'snode_modulesor when the project's own launcher is the one invoked vianpx,node_modules/.bin, or an npm script.Verification
