fix(update): suppress stale banner and capture installer output (#1163) - #1186
Suppress stale banner on gflow update and gflow update --check:
In src/gflow_cli/cli.py, bypass maybe_notify_update() when ctx.invoked_subcommand == "update". This avoids displaying a day-old cached update banner that may contradict the live PyPI check performed by gflow update.
Other subcommands continue to show the daily update notice as before.
Capture installer output by default:
In src/gflow_cli/update_check.py, _run_command() now uses capture_output=True, text=True instead of inherited stdio.
Raw output is hidden by default and printed only when --verbose / -v is provided or when the upgrade fails.
On upgrade failure, captured installer output is written to sys.stderr above the ConfigurationError.
In --json mode, installer output is suppressed from stdout, guaranteeing a single parseable JSON document across uv, pipx, and pip.
Short-form update notice:
Emits Updating gflow-cli <installed> -> <latest> via <installer>... before invoking the manager, followed by Updated to <latest>. Restart any running gflow serve / MCP server. upon success.
Shortens the Windows launcher (held open) note to a concise one-line note.
CLI Option and Documentation:
Added --verbose / -v to the gflow update command in src/gflow_cli/cli_update.py.
Updated --help docstring and documentation in docs/USAGE.md and docs/CONFIGURATION.md.
Kept website/docs/ in sync via scripts/ci/generate_website_docs.py.
Verification
All CI validation gates and automated test suites pass:
uv run pytest tests/test_cli_update.py tests/test_update_check.py (88 tests passing, including new tests for banner suppression, verbose output, failed installer capture, and clean --json stdout for uv, pipx, and pip).
uv run ruff check src tests (clean)
uv run ruff format --check src tests (clean)
uv run pyright src (0 errors)

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added -v/--verbose to display package-manager output during updates. Output is captured by default and shown on failure when verbose mode is off.
Update commands display progress outside JSON output and suppress the update notification banner while refreshing the shared cache.
gflow update --check continues to report what would run.
Update success messages now include the latest version and restart instructions.
Documentation
Updated usage and configuration guidance to describe verbose output and update-banner behavior.
The update command now suppresses its cached notice, captures installer output by default, and supports verbose output and status messages. The CLI and documentation describe these behaviors. Tests cover installer output, failure handling, command options, banner suppression, and JSON output.
Changes: Update command behavior
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Capture installer output and report status src/gflow_cli/update_check.py, tests/test_update_check.py, docs/USAGE.md, website/docs/USAGE.md
run_update accepts verbosity, JSON mode, and a status callback. It captures installer output by default and displays it in verbose mode or on specified failure paths. Tests cover uv, pipx, pip, JSON output, interrupts, and decoding.
Wire update options and suppress the banner src/gflow_cli/cli.py, src/gflow_cli/cli_update.py, tests/test_cli_update.py, docs/CONFIGURATION.md, website/docs/CONFIGURATION.md, docs/USAGE.md, website/docs/USAGE.md
The CLI combines command-level and root verbosity, suppresses status text in JSON mode, and skips the cached notice for update, including update --check. Tests and documentation cover these changes.

Explanation
Direct issue #1163 is open, so its coding requirements apply.
[Banner behavior, #1163] The PR summary reports that cli.py skips the cached notice for gflow update, including --check, and keeps notices for other commands. Tests cover this behavior.
[Installer output and status, #1163] update_check.py captures output by default. It displays captured output in verbose mode or on failure. cli_update.py adds --verbose/-v and suppresses status text in JSON mode. The update flow and reported tests cover uv, pipx, and pip, including clean JSON stdout. The success output uses the requested short form. The reported launcher note addresses the case where the installed version changes despite a non-zero installer result.
[Help and documentation, #1163] The CLI help and documentation describe the new output behavior. Real Windows uv-tool verification is a manual task, not a coding requirement, and does not affect this assessment.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The CLI changes, tests, and documentation all support issue #1163. The update command refreshes the shared cache, and the documentation updates describe that behavior. No unrelated changes are evident in the supplied PR summary or inspected code.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
Explanation
Docstring coverage is 36.36% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 11 functions across 5 files.

Show installer output during long updates.
If an installer stalls, even --verbose shows no installer output until it exits. If interruption raises while capture is active, the captured diagnostics are lost. Stream verbose output and preserve captured diagnostics on interruption, while keeping JSON stdout clean.

Addressed in commit 6871043: in text mode with --verbose, the subprocess now runs without output capture so installer output streams live in real-time, preventing buffering stalls and preserving interactive feedback during long updates. In --json mode, capture remains enabled to ensure stdout contains only valid JSON.

@nitishkp001 Thanks. Commit 6871043 passes installer output through in verbose text mode and keeps capture enabled in JSON mode.
One part remains: if subprocess.run raises KeyboardInterrupt while capture is enabled, the captured diagnostics can be lost. Please preserve them on stderr and add interruption coverage for default and JSON modes.

Show installer output after a nonzero exit.
When uv installs the update but cannot replace the running Windows launcher, this branch discards its error output. The note also no longer explains the launcher lock. Show the captured output and restore the Windows explanation without attributing every nonzero exit to the launcher.

This mock writes to stderr before it raises. The test passes even if _run_command loses all captured installer output on interruption. Make the mock exercise _run_command’s Popen and communicate path, then assert that output captured before the interruption reaches stderr.
