+# self-update
+
+Single-file, zero-dependency self-update on launch for Python CLIs.
+Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS with pip, pipx, and uv
+installations.
+
+## Usage
+
+Install it, then add two lines at the very top of your entry point,
+**before** any setup, try/finally, or UI:
+
+```
+pip install auto-self-update
+```
+
+```python
+import selfupdate
+
+def main():
+    if selfupdate.check("my-package"):
+        return  # the updater is running; it relaunches this command
+    # ... your normal startup ...
+```
+
+`"my-package"` is your app's PyPI/distribution name. That is all.
+Alternatively, vendor `selfupdate.py` into your project — it has no
+dependencies beyond the standard library.
+
+## What it does
+
+1. On launch, compares the installed version against the newest stable
+   release on PyPI (4 s hard timeout; any failure launches normally).
+2. A newer release spawns a detached updater and your process exits.
+   Exiting first is deliberate: Windows locks a running process's
+   executables, and this flow works identically everywhere.
+3. The updater waits for your process to disappear, runs the
+   installer-native upgrade command (`uv tool upgrade`, `pipx upgrade`,
+   or the environment's own pip), verifies the installed version
+   actually advanced, and re-executes the original command with its
+   arguments.
+4. Any failure prints the manual command and leaves the old install
+   untouched — the updater never relaunches a failed upgrade.
+
+## Skipped automatically
+
+- **Repository checkouts and editable installs** (found by walking up
+  from the caller's file to a `pyproject.toml`; the walk stops at
+  `site-packages`).
+- **Ephemeral `uvx` / `pipx run` caches** — a one-line note is printed
+  instead; those refresh on their own schedule.
+- **Kill switches**: pass `enabled=False` (wire your own config toggle
+  to it), or set `NO_AUTO_UPDATE` / `<PACKAGE>_NO_AUTO_UPDATE`
+  (uppercased, non-alphanumerics become underscores) in the environment.
+
+## Optional parameters
+
+```python
+selfupdate.check(
+    "my-package",
+    enabled=True,          # your own config toggle goes here
+    index_url=None,        # JSON index template with {package}; PyPI default
+)
+```
+
+## Caveats
+
+- Only dotted-numeric releases (`2.0.8`) are update targets;
+  pre-releases are never chased.
+- The upgrade command inherits the terminal, so its progress output is
+  visible; the updater is detached from Ctrl+C delivery so an
+  interruption cannot break a half-written install.
+- Two instances updating simultaneously serialize on the installer's
+  own lock; the second finds nothing to do.
+- Keep your package's `__init__.py` light — good practice anyway; the
+  updater runs this module by file path and never imports your package.
+
+## Tests
+
+`python test_selfupdate.py` — 39 offline tests, no network, no spawn.

+"""Drop-in launch-time self-update for pip, pipx, and uv-installed CLIs.

+Vendor this single file into any project (it has no dependencies beyond
+the standard library) and add two lines at the very top of the entry
+point, before any setup, try/finally, or UI:
+
+    from . import selfupdate

+
+How it works: `check` compares the installed version against the newest
+stable release on PyPI (hard timeout, fails open). A newer release
+spawns a detached updater process and the caller must exit immediately:
+Windows locks a running process's executables, so exiting before
+upgrading is the one flow that works identically on every platform. The
+updater waits for the caller to disappear, runs the installer-native
+upgrade command (uv receipt -> `uv tool upgrade`, pipx metadata ->
+`pipx upgrade`, else the environment's own pip, else `uv pip`), verifies
+the installed version actually advanced, and re-executes the original
+command with its arguments. Any failure prints the manual command and
+leaves the old installation untouched.
+
+Skipped automatically: repository checkouts and editable installs
+(detected by walking up from the caller's file), ephemeral `uvx` /
+`pipx run` caches (a one-line note is printed instead), and any failure.
+Kill switches: `enabled=False`, or the environment variables
+`NO_AUTO_UPDATE` and `<PACKAGE>_NO_AUTO_UPDATE` (uppercased,
+non-alphanumerics replaced by underscores).
+
+Keep the host package's `__init__` light: the updater runs this module
+by file path precisely so it never imports the host package, and the
