• 🔴 (04:33) User-provided sentry cli upgrade implementation self-updates Sentry CLI to the latest or a specific version, then spawns the new binary with cli setup to update completions and agent skills and record installation metadata.
• 🔴 (04:33) User-provided upgrade command supports 2 release channels: stable (default, tracks the latest GitHub release) and nightly (tracks the rolling nightly prerelease built from main).
• 🔴 (04:33) User-provided channel selection accepts --channel or the positional version argument "nightly"/"stable" and persists the choice in the local database so later bare sentry cli upgrade calls reuse that channel.
• 🔴 (04:33) User stated package managers always need network access to fetch and install packages; automatic offline fallback is only for curl-installed binaries.
• 🔴 (04:33) User-provided CLI help specifies sentry cli upgrade nightly to switch to the nightly channel and update.
• 🔴 (04:33) User-provided upgrade logic skips an upgrade when already on the target version, except when forced or switching release channels.
