[BUG] Re-deploy says 'Deploying' not 'Updating'

[ottovlotto]

Severity: Missing spec requirements (P1)
Reported by: DevEx Audit External
Source: DevEx Audit (External), 3 June 2026

Symptom

Re-deploy says "Deploying" not "Updating"
Severity: Missing spec requirements
Spec reference: CLAUDE.md › "Re-deploys show 'Updating myapp.dot', not 'Publishing myapp.dot'"

A same-owner re-deploy of an already-registered domain uses identical wording to a first deploy. The spec requires "Updating" to signal to the user that their existing app is being updated, not published for the first time.

Actual output (first deploy and re-deploy both show):
Deploying e2edeploytest00.dot

Reproduction

1. Deploy a domain you own once: playground deploy --domain mydomain --playground --signer dev --suri //Alice --no-build.
2. Deploy it again with the same owner.
3. Observe both outputs say "Deploying" instead of "Updating".

Recommended fix / next steps

• In the deploy command, detect whether the domain is already registered to the same owner before emitting the output header.
• If same owner → emit "Updating ".
• If new domain → emit "Deploying " (or "Publishing " per spec — confirm exact phrasing).
• Spec reference: CLAUDE.md › "Re-deploys show 'Updating myapp.dot', not 'Publishing myapp.dot'".
