#!/usr/bin/env node
/**
 * @file Detached helper that performs a full plugin-cache update end to end, so
 * the dashboard's "Update now" button works for an install running out of
 * `~/.claude/plugins/cache/`. Spawned by `server/lib/plugin-update.js` after the
 * HTTP response is written, because step 3 SIGTERMs the very server that asked
 * for the update — an in-process version would kill itself mid-flight.
 *
 * The three steps:
 *   1. `claude plugin marketplace update <marketplace>`
 *   2. `claude plugin update <plugin>@<marketplace> -y`  → new cache dir appears
 *   3. `node <newRoot>/scripts/plugin-bootstrap.js --force` → stops the old
 *      server, waits for the ports, installs deps and starts the new one
 *
 * Step 3 is what makes `/reload-plugins` unnecessary here: `plugin-bootstrap.js`
 * derives its own `PLUGIN_ROOT` from `__dirname`, not from `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`,
 * so running it out of the NEW cache directory is enough to move the dashboard
 * onto the new code. `/reload-plugins` remains needed only for an interactive
 * Claude Code session to pick up new skills/commands/hooks — a thing no
 * background process can do on that session's behalf.
 *
 * Every outcome, including failure, is recorded in `plugin-update.json` under the
 * runtime directory (outside the plugin cache, so it survives the swap) and the
 * new server reports it back as `last_plugin_update`. Without that, a failed
 * chain would look identical to a slow one: the tab would poll a server that
 * never comes back and say nothing about why.
