Update Local Coding Agent

Use this when a customer wants their local clone updated to the latest GitHub version.

Rules

• Do not delete the customer workspace.
• Do not delete tools/tunnel-client*.
• Do not print, commit, or upload API keys, tunnel IDs, tokens, or local config.
• Do not run git reset --hard, git clean, or destructive commands unless the customer explicitly approves.
• If there are local changes, summarize them and ask before continuing.

Steps

1. Find the local local-coding-agent folder.
2. Run git status --short --branch.
3. If local changes exist, stop and ask before updating.
4. Fetch:
   • git fetch origin main --tags
5. Show incoming changes:
   • git log --oneline --decorate --max-count=10 HEAD..origin/main
6. Update safely:
   • git pull --ff-only origin main
7. Reinstall dependencies:
   • Windows: scripts\lca.cmd install
   • macOS/Linux: bash scripts/lca install
8. Validate:
   • node --check scripts/local-coding-agent.mjs
   • node --check scripts/network-doctor.mjs
   • node scripts/validate-skills.mjs
9. Run doctor/status:
   • Windows: scripts\lca.cmd doctor and scripts\lca.cmd status
   • macOS/Linux: bash scripts/lca doctor and bash scripts/lca status
10. Restart only if the customer wants the agent running:

• stop, then start with the CLI wrapper for the OS.
