fix: resolve latest to actual release tag before downloading#18
Conversation
gh release download does not support "latest" as a magic alias — it requires a real tag name. Both the install script and upgrade command now resolve "latest" via gh release view first.
The install script, upgrade command, and version check all previously shelled out to the gh CLI. Since the repo is public, no authentication is needed. This replaces every gh invocation with: - net/http calls to the GitHub releases API (for resolving latest tag) - Direct HTTP downloads from GitHub release asset URLs - curl in the install script (with grep/sed to parse JSON, no jq needed)
