spark update

Update the CLI and IDE integrations to the latest version.

Synopsis

spark update

Description

spark update upgrades Spark CLI to the latest version and updates all installed IDE integrations. Under the hood, it runs npm install -g @memco/spark@latest to update the CLI binary, then refreshes any installed plugins or skills to their latest versions.

After updating, the command clears cached version data so that spark status reflects the new version immediately.

It is a good practice to run spark update periodically, or whenever spark status indicates a newer version is available. Updates may include new features, performance improvements, and compatibility fixes for the latest IDE versions.
