 ### Changed
 
 - Rebased the client on upstream Pi `0.80.6`, including GPT-5.6 model metadata and `max` thinking support.
+- Changed `pi-client update` to update global packages without reinstalling the active checkout or stopping sessions; updated sessions require `/reload` to restart on the new runtime with their existing history.

 ```
 
+## Update
+
+`pi-client update` installs the latest client and server packages without stopping active client sessions. Existing sessions block new prompts until you run `/reload`; `/reload` restarts that session on the new runtime and resumes its persisted history.
