# /notfair:upgrade
Upgrade the NotFair plugin to the latest version and show what's new.
## Key paths
| What | Path |
|------|------|
| Marketplace repo | `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/nowork-studio/` |
| Plugin cache | `~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/<version>/` |
| Installed plugins | `~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json` |
| Update state | `~/.toprank/` (intentionally preserved — see CHANGELOG 0.24.0) |
---
## Inline upgrade flow
This section is used when a skill preamble outputs `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE`.
### Step 1: Auto-upgrade
Log "Upgrading NotFair v{old} → v{new}..." and proceed to Step 2.
---
### Step 2: Detect current install
First check for dev symlink (see "Dev symlink detection" section). If detected, stop — do not upgrade.
```bash
# Find the currently installed plugin path
INSTALLED_DIR=$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/*/ 2>/dev/null | grep -v '.bak' | head -1)
if [ -z "$INSTALLED_DIR" ]; then
echo "ERROR: NotFair plugin not found in cache"; exit 1
fi
MARKETPLACE_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/nowork-studio"
if [ ! -d "$MARKETPLACE_DIR/.git" ]; then
echo "ERROR: marketplace repo not found at $MARKETPLACE_DIR"; exit 1
fi
echo "Current install: $INSTALLED_DIR"
echo "Marketplace repo: $MARKETPLACE_DIR"
```
### Step 3: Save old version
```bash
OLD_VERSION=$(cat "$INSTALLED_DIR/VERSION" 2>/dev/null | tr -d '[:space:]' || echo "unknown")
```
### Step 4: Update marketplace repo and install
```bash
cd "$MARKETPLACE_DIR"
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/main
NEW_VERSION=$(cat VERSION | tr -d '[:space:]')
GIT_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
# Create new versioned cache directory
NEW_CACHE_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/$NEW_VERSION"
if [ -d "$NEW_CACHE_DIR" ]; then
rm -rf "$NEW_CACHE_DIR"
fi
mkdir -p "$NEW_CACHE_DIR"
# Copy plugin files (exclude .git to save space)
rsync -a --exclude='.git' "$MARKETPLACE_DIR/" "$NEW_CACHE_DIR/"
```
If the copy fails, warn: "Upgrade failed — the old version is still active. Run `/notfair:upgrade` manually." and stop.
### Step 5: Update installed_plugins.json
Read `~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json`, then update the `notfair@nowork-studio` entry:
```bash
python3 -c "
import json, os
from datetime import datetime, timezone
path = os.path.expanduser('~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json')
with open(path) as f:
data = json.load(f)
data['plugins']['notfair@nowork-studio'] = [{
'scope': 'user',
'installPath': os.path.expanduser('~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/$NEW_VERSION'),
'version': '$NEW_VERSION',
'installedAt': data['plugins'].get('notfair@nowork-studio', [{}])[0].get('installedAt', datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()),
'lastUpdated': datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(),
'gitCommitSha': '$GIT_SHA'
}]
with open(path, 'w') as f:
json.dump(data, f, indent=4)
print('Updated installed_plugins.json: notfair@nowork-studio -> v$NEW_VERSION')
"
```
### Step 6: Clean up old cache versions
Remove old versioned cache directories (keep only the new one). Never remove a `dev` symlink:
```bash
for dir in ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/*/; do
ver=$(basename "$dir")
if [ "$ver" != "$NEW_VERSION" ] && [ "$ver" != "dev" ]; then
rm -rf "$dir"
echo "Removed old cache: $ver"
fi
done
```
### Step 7: Write marker + clear update state
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.toprank
echo "$OLD_VERSION" > ~/.toprank/just-upgraded-from
rm -f ~/.toprank/last-update-check
rm -f ~/.toprank/update-snoozed
```
### Step 8: Show What's New
Read `$NEW_CACHE_DIR/CHANGELOG.md`. Find all version entries between the old version and the new version. Summarize as 3-7 bullets grouped by theme — focus on user-facing changes, skip internal refactors.
Format:
```
NotFair v{new} — upgraded from v{old}!
What's new:
- [bullet 1]
- [bullet 2]
- ...
The new version will be fully active on your next Claude Code session.
```
### Step 9: Continue
After showing What's New, continue with whatever skill the user originally invoked.

## Dev symlink detection
Before upgrading, check if the installed cache directory is a symlink named `dev`:
```bash
CACHE_DIR=$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)
if [ -L "${CACHE_DIR%/}" ] && [ "$(basename "$CACHE_DIR")" = "dev" ]; then
echo "DEV_SYMLINK"
fi
```
If `DEV_SYMLINK`: tell the user "NotFair is installed as a dev symlink — it always points to your local source (v$(cat "$CACHE_DIR/VERSION" 2>/dev/null | tr -d '[:space:]')). No upgrade needed." and **stop**. Do not proceed with Steps 2–8.
---
## Standalone usage
When invoked directly as `/notfair:upgrade`:
1. Check for dev symlink (see "Dev symlink detection" above). If detected, stop.
2. Force a fresh update check (bypass cache and snooze):
```bash
_UPD_BIN=$(ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/*/bin/notfair-update-check 2>/dev/null | head -1)
[ -n "$_UPD_BIN" ] && _UPD=$("$_UPD_BIN" --force 2>/dev/null || true) || _UPD=""
echo "$_UPD"
```
3. If `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>`: follow Steps 2–8 above.
4. If no `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE` output: tell the user "You're already on the latest version (v{LOCAL})."
