Nested system-manual reference for update, source, install, nudge, and runtime-mismatch diagnosis. Owns interpreter/provenance evidence and the source/venv cutover handoff; routes refresh sequencing to refresh-precheck.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Runtime Update Checks

Use this reference to determine **what is running, what is on disk, and who owns
a change**. It is read-only guidance, not permission to download, install,
modify configuration, switch a checkout, or relaunch. Once a target source/venv
is proven and authorized, `refresh-precheck` owns the complete refresh
transaction; do not copy its happy-path sequence here.

## Ownership map

| Question | Owner / answer |
|---|---|
| Is an official package update available? | `kernel_version.py` plus the release-manifest path described below. |
| Did source already on disk change under this process? | `source_drift.py`; local source-integrity diagnosis only. |
| Which interpreter/source/version is authoritative? | Runtime identity plus the exact probe in this reference. |
| How is a normal user install/update performed? | The current `https://lingtai.ai/install.sh --help` output. |
| May a download, migration, config write, or disruptive relaunch proceed? | Only explicit human/config-owner authority after the proposed action is shown. |
| How is the one refresh performed and receipted? | `reference/refresh-precheck/SKILL.md`. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/runtime-update-checks@sha256:4dddcaf749170732

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
