# Versioning & self-update
`VERSION` at the repo root is the release source of truth.
## Releases
On pushes to `main`, the release workflow runs formatting, static analysis, race
tests, and build. If all gates pass, it creates tag `vVERSION` when that tag
does not already exist.
Binaries receive their version at build time through linker flags. Builds
without that flag report `0.0.0-dev` and skip passive update hints.
## Update checks
Release builds check the public Gitea tags API in two places: `sherlock version`
and just before agent handoff. The check is bounded, best-effort, uncached, and
disabled by `SHERLOCK_NO_UPDATE_CHECK`.
## Updating
`sherlock update` installs the latest release through the shared installer.
`--force` reinstalls even when already current. Updates rebuild binaries and
completions but leave config untouched.
Overrides: `SHERLOCK_UPDATE_TAGS_URL` for tag lookup and
`SHERLOCK_UPDATE_REPO_URL` for clone/update source.
