feat: framework-agnostic runSelfUpdate helper#2
Merged
Conversation
Adds runSelfUpdate({ packageName, currentVersion, header?, registry?, check? })
so any npm-distributed consuming CLI can offer an update/install-latest command
without re-implementing the registry query, version compare, and global install.
No oclif dependency -- callable from a plain dispatcher (e.g. quoin) as readily
as from a BaseCommand. Renders via ix-ui-cli and returns { updated, latest }.
Registry defaults to the ambient npm config (mirrors however the caller was
installed); a registry override is applied as the scope-specific
--<scope>:registry= flag for scoped packages, because a plain --registry is
silently ignored for a scoped package when an npmrc pins a @scope:registry.
Adds FR-023 + tests.md traceability.

What
Adds a reusable `runSelfUpdate` helper so any npm-distributed IX CLI can offer an `update`/install-latest command without re-implementing the registry query, version comparison, and global install.
```ts
runSelfUpdate({ packageName, currentVersion, header?, registry?, check? }): Promise<{ updated, latest }>
```
Registry resolution
Defaults to the ambient npm config — i.e. however the caller was installed (its `@scope:registry`, or the npm default) — rather than a hardcoded registry. When a `registry` override is supplied it is applied as the scope-specific `--:registry=` flag for a scoped package, because a plain `--registry` is silently ignored for a scoped package when an npmrc pins a `@scope:registry`. Unscoped packages use a plain `--registry`.
Spec
Tests
`tests/self-update.test.ts` (vitest): up-to-date, `--check` update-available, install-when-out-of-date, scoped vs unscoped registry override, ambient default (no flag), and registry-unreachable rejection. Mocks only the external edges (`node:child_process`, `@agent-ix/ix-ui-cli`). `make lint`/`make test`/`make build` green.
Consumer
`@agent-ix/quoin`'s `update` command consumes this (separate PR). Note: quoin must relock to the release that includes this export before its `update` works at runtime.
