feat(cli): add version check hook to prompt for updates#106
Conversation
Adds an oclif init hook that checks the npm registry for a newer version before every command. If outdated, prompts the user to update with current and latest versions displayed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Skip npm registry fetch when last check was within 24 hours, using last_version_check and last_known_version fields from GlobalConfig. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
isNewerVersion now correctly parses prerelease suffixes (e.g. "1.0.0-dev.1") instead of producing NaN from split/map(Number). Compares prerelease segments per semver rules: release > prerelease, and numeric segments compared numerically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When the user declines the update prompt, save the current timestamp to last_version_check so the prompt is suppressed for the remainder of the 24-hour cache window. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
