reinstalling-grove skillC
reinstalling-grove is agent-read markdown (skill) from bearlike/grove: Use when a user wants to reinstall, update, or upgrade Grove after pulling new code, or when they report seeing the OLD UI / stale behavior after an update ("I still see the old dashboard", "the redesign isn't showing", "I reinstalled but nothing changed"). Covers the editable uv-tool install model, the independently-updated surfaces (package/CLI/TUI, daemon, webapp, plus the opt-in grove-mcp server in either its stdio or networked transport), the reinstall-vs-restart decision, a required verifi.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Reinstalling & updating Grove [Grove](https://github.com/bearlike/Grove) ships as one Python package whose surfaces update through **different mechanisms** — three core ones (CLI/TUI, daemon, webapp) plus the opt-in `grove-mcp` server, whose staleness rules differ by transport. Most "I updated but still see the old version" reports come from updating one surface and forgetting another, or from a process/browser still holding the old code. This skill makes the update deterministic and gives you a decision tree for the stale-UI case. The golden rule, and the thing to repeat to the user: **new code on disk does not change anything already running.** A live process loaded its modules at startup; a long-lived service keeps running the old build until restarted; a browser serves a cached page. Updating Grove is therefore never "just pull" — it is pull, then refresh each surface that needs it. ## 1. The surfaces and how each updates | Surface | What it is | How it picks up new code | |---|---|---| | **Package — CLI + TUI** | the `grove` command and its Textual UI | a fresh `grove` invocation (editable install) OR a `uv tool install --reinstall` when deps changed | …

How to install
mdr add bearlike/grove/reinstalling-grove@git:20260908.bbb0fcbmdr add bearlike/grove/reinstalling-grove@sha256:e07ada7bac6428ddPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
