+### Fixed
+- **`akili update` now updates the npm package:** Previously `akili update` only reinstalled files from the already-installed version. Now it detects the installation type (global, local, or npx), runs `npm install -g akili-specs@latest` or `npm install akili-specs@latest` accordingly, and then reinstalls files with `--force`.
