Describe the bug

On version 1.0.10, I used the /update command to check for updates. Nothing appear to happen. After waiting for 30 seconds or so, I started work, detailing out a prompt in plan mode. Then suddenly copilot quit out to update. After updating, it restarted but offered no explanation that it had even updated itself (it had, the version was now 1.0.12).

I would suggest

/version - provide immediate feedback - including progress if an update is being downloaded

After an update is downloaded, do not auto apply and quit, if it means user's work (mid prompt) is lost.

After a reboot, post update, post the release notes to the output, or at least tell the user an update has been applied and explain how to view the release notes.

Thanks!

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. /update
  2. Start work on a prompt
  3. Lose session when copilot suddenly restarts

Expected behavior

  1. /update
  2. Either - synchronous blocking progress than reboots at the end, or async update that prompts the user to restart when it's ready
  3. Post update, message about the update having been applied and direct user to release notes
