pix-update

Pi extension — /update self-update command.

What it does

Registers a /update slash command that updates Pi and refreshes all installed @xynogen/pix-* extensions. Updates Pi with Pi's own pi update --self, which detects the install method (Bun, npm, pnpm, or yarn), and wraps it in a retry loop that distinguishes transient errors (rate limits, timeouts, network failures) from hard failures. After updating Pi, runs pi update --extensions to refresh extensions from npm. The command shows a progress overlay, confirms the action upfront, and closes Pi at the end so the next launch picks up the new binaries.

Each step has a timeout of at least 300 seconds (io.timeoutSec in ~/.pi/agent/pix.json wins when it is larger). A timed-out or killed step reports a failure, not success. If npm registry metadata is stale and some packages stay on an old version, /update shows a warning that names them. Start Pi with --update to queue /update at session start.
