-No extra setup is needed. The package ships ready-made bindings for every platform and declares no build step, so there is nothing to approve or compile. The stealth browser (1GB+ installed) is fetched by the `postinstall` script when npm runs install scripts, which it does by default up to npm 11.18 — that is the bundled npm on the Node 22.22.2 floor this package requires, so expect the fetch during install. Newer npm (11.19+) skips install scripts by default, and the browser is then fetched lazily on the first scrape instead. Either way the first scrape takes a few minutes until it is in place. Set `PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD=1` to defer the fetch deliberately. Only Windows with npm older than 11.19 can fail when the install tries to compile from source. Upgrading npm fixes it.

 The `@earendil-works/pi-*` host packages are **peer dependencies**. pi supplies its own copies when it loads this as an extension, and npm ≥7 installs them automatically for a standalone (global or project) install. An install that skips peers does not get them: `npm install --legacy-peer-deps`, yarn classic, and `pi install` itself (it passes that flag on purpose) are all in that group. The standalone engine and the agent-skill launcher then stop with a message naming the missing package; add it with:

 In pi, the extension works out of the box on the session's model and pi's configuration. Standalone use ([agent skill](docs/AGENT-SKILL.md) or [SDK](docs/SDK.md)) needs a model configured. See [Configuration](docs/CONFIGURATION.md).
 
+### Update
+
+`pi update --extensions` moves every installed extension to its newest published version; `pi update npm:@lincoln504/pi-research` targets only this one. A versioned source (`npm:@lincoln504/pi-research@1.7.9`) is pinned and never updates — remove and reinstall it to move versions.
+
 ### Uninstall
 
 `pi remove npm:@lincoln504/pi-research` removes the extension. `npm uninstall -g @lincoln504/pi-research` removes the standalone engine. npm 7+ no longer runs `preuninstall`, so nothing else is removed on its own: skill links into other agents (Claude Code, Codex, …), the state directory (`~/.pi/research/state`), and the cache (`~/.cache/pi-research`, including any downloaded embedding models) stay in place. Remove the skill links first with `pi-research skill uninstall` (or `/research-config` → Remove from External Agents), then remove the rest with `pi-research cleanup`: The shared stealth-browser cache (`~/.cache/camoufox`) is preserved unless `PI_RESEARCH_PURGE_BROWSERS=1`. See [AGENT-SKILL.md](docs/AGENT-SKILL.md#installation-flow) for the full picture.
