 `re-init` re-runs `init` against whichever stack `install-manifest.json` says was installed (no need to pass `--stack` again), but skips step 2 of `init` entirely — the root project scaffold (`package.json`, `src/`, `server.ts`, `docker-compose.yml`, etc.) and the root `CLAUDE.md` router are never touched. Use it after upgrading the CLI to pick up fixes to `ralph.js`/skills without re-scaffolding a project you've since built on top of.
 
-You don't have to remember to: on startup every command prints a 💡 hint (on stderr) when a newer CLI is on npm, or when a kit in the current directory was installed by an older CLI than the one running — naming the exact `re-init` command to run. The npm lookup happens at most once a day (cached in `~/.eventmodelers/update-check.json`, 1.5 s timeout, silent when offline). Set `EVENTMODELERS_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1` to turn it off; it is also off when `CI` is set.

Set `EVENTMODELERS_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1` to turn it off; it is also off when `CI` is set. When `run` starts on an outdated CLI in an interactive terminal (npx or a global install), it also asks `Update now … and restart this command? [Y/n]` — yes updates and re-runs the same command, no carries on with the current version.
 
 Pass `--stack <name>` to override the stack instead of relying on the manifest — useful if the manifest is missing/stale, or you want to point a `.build-kit` install at a different built-in stack's templates. It's mutually exclusive with `--modeling`.
