- You are performing a self-upgrade of the Vellum assistant. Follow these steps **in order**. Use the `bash` tool to run each command. Confirm each step succeeds before moving to the next.
+ You are performing a self-upgrade of the Cadet assistant. Follow these steps **in order**. Use the `bash` tool to run each command. Confirm each step succeeds before moving to the next.
## Step 1: Record the current version
```bash
- vellum --version
+ cadet --version
```
Save this value to report later.
- ## Step 2: Install the latest vellum
+ ## Step 2: Install the latest cadet
```bash
bun install -g mycadet@latest
```
After updating, verify the new version:
```bash
- vellum --version
+ cadet --version
```
## Step 3: Restart the gateway
If a gateway process is running, restart it so it picks up any protocol or dependency changes from the new version:
```bash
- pgrep -f 'vellum-gateway|gateway/src/index.ts' || echo "No gateway process found"
+ pgrep -f 'cadet-gateway|gateway/src/index.ts' || echo "No gateway process found"
```
If a gateway PID is found, send it SIGTERM so it drains gracefully:
```bash
- pkill -TERM -f 'vellum-gateway|gateway/src/index.ts'
+ pkill -TERM -f 'cadet-gateway|gateway/src/index.ts'
```
Then start the gateway again using whatever method the user's deployment uses (e.g. `bun run gateway/src/index.ts`, a systemd service, or a container orchestrator). If you are unsure how the gateway is deployed, ask the user.
## Step 4: Restart the assistant
- Use `vellum sleep` to stop the running assistant and gateway, then `vellum wake` to start them again from the updated binary:
+ Use `cadet sleep` to stop the running assistant and gateway, then `cadet wake` to start them again from the updated binary:
```bash
- vellum sleep && vellum wake
+ cadet sleep && cadet wake
```
Verify it is running:
```bash
- vellum ps
+ cadet ps
```
**Important:** This is the last step because the current assistant process is the one executing this conversation. After the restart, the new assistant takes over and this conversation ends gracefully.
## After Upgrade
Report back to the user with:
- - The previous and new vellum version
+ - The previous and new cadet version
- Assistant status (running, PID)
- Gateway status (restarted or not found)
- Any errors encountered during the process
