When kimi-code is installed via Homebrew, the update system now detects the installation source and uses 'brew upgrade kimi-code' instead of falling back to 'npm install -g'. This prevents duplicate installations when Homebrew users receive update prompts.

- Only match /cellar/ path segment (not /homebrew/) to avoid false positives on Apple Silicon where npm global installs live under /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/ - Disable background auto-update for Homebrew: brew upgrade may mutate dependents silently and the formula can lag behind CDN releases

Detection logic looks great — /cellar/ over /homebrew/ correctly avoids the Apple Silicon npm false positive, and disabling auto-install in favor of a manual brew upgrade prompt is the right call. One miss: InstallSource gained 'homebrew', but the Zod enum in apps/kimi-code/src/cli/update/install-state.ts wasn't updated to match (the z.ZodType annotation won't flag it — Zod output types Otherwise LGTM 👍 |
commit: |
Keeps the persistence schema in sync with the TypeScript type. Currently harmless since Homebrew auto-install is disabled, but prevents a silent state reset if it is ever enabled later.
Thanks for reviewing, added. |
