update

A command that checks whether the CodeEraser installation has a newer release. It reports whether the installed version is current, outdated, or could not be checked.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the installed release and follow the specific update instruction for that installation.
Why use it?
It removes the need to guess which update command applies to the way CodeEraser was installed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

update scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Run the update check through the plugin's own starter and relay its answer:

sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ce.sh" update

The exit code is the verdict — 0 current, 1 newer release available, 2 unknown (no network, or the release's manifest could not be read). On 0 the last line is latest: <version> — up to date and on 2 latest: unknown — <reason>, and there is nothing to run. An action line follows only on 1, and it names the ONE action for this install; follow it exactly and do not substitute another:

  • plugin's bound copy — reported when the starter's own pinned copy in CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA ran (an installer-placed ce on PATH reports the installer-sidecar case below instead, even under this command): tell the user to run /plugin update codeeraser — the plugin's next manifest carries the new pins, and the starter re-verifies and re-downloads on the next session. Never run ce update --yes here: the starter would refuse a binary its manifest does not pin.
  • cargo install: cargo install codeeraser.
  • placed by hand / installer sidecar: ce update --yes replaces ce and ce-core in place, verified against the release commit's pins; add --installer to also save the verified GUI installer and print its path.

Report the current and latest versions, the verdict, and the action in one short message. Do not download anything yourself.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
