v1.0.2: Auto-Update Helper Binary
What's New
Auto-Update Helper Binary
The extension now automatically checks for newer versions of the PyPilot helper binary on every activation:
- Compares the local helper version against the latest GitHub release
- Prompts with Update now, Release notes, or Later options
- 24-hour snooze after dismissing, so it won't nag on every VS Code launch
- Updates managed binaries in-place; leaves your PATH install untouched
- After updating, offers to reload the window so the LSP picks up the new binary
Smarter Binary Resolution
- If both a PATH binary and a managed (downloaded) binary exist, the extension now picks the newer one instead of always preferring PATH
- Ensures an auto-updated managed binary gets used even when an older binary sits on PATH
New Command
- PyPilot: Check for Helper Updates manually triggers the update check from the command palette (bypasses the snooze timer)
