 Every command knows what comes next. `brain-dev progress` always tells you the right next step.
 
+## Auto Update Notification
+
+Brain checks for newer versions on session start (background, non-blocking). If an update is available, the statusline shows:
+
+```
+⬆ /brain:upgrade | brain | [########--] 78% | P2: executing
+```
+
+Type `/brain:upgrade` to see the upgrade command and clear the notification.

 ## Zero Dependencies
 
 Brain is a single npm package with zero runtime dependencies. Just Node.js 22+.
