The CLI keeps itself up to date
Your paired CLI updates itself — no banner to notice, no button to tap, no terminal.
- e.g. v2.75.3 → v2.75.4
- Hourly check, then a clean relaunch
- You never had to look
The CLI ships fixes and new features often — and keeping up with that is our job, not yours. codeam-cli updates itself wherever it runs, so a session is on a current version without you tracking releases or running anything.
Your workspace checks for a newer CLI every hour and relaunches on it. A workspace you come back to after a week is already current.
A self-hosted server runs the CLI as a managed service that does the same hourly check, then restarts itself cleanly on the new version.
These capture credentials, so they never run on a stale version: the CLI upgrades first and re-runs the command on the new one.
Start a session from your own terminal and the CLI tells you there when a newer version is out — right where npm i -g codeam-cli@latest is one line away.
Some features (like Environment Variables or the Session Baton) need a minimum CLI version. Because updates land on their own, a session that has been running for a while picks up new features without being redeployed.
