ai-tools-upgrade
How Claude Code and the Copilot and Codex CLIs are kept up to date on a machine, and how to install the daily upgrade job — plain cron on an always-on machine, a launchd agent on a laptop (cron silently skips runs the machine sleeps through). Use when: setting Aide up on a new machine, the AI tools have gone stale, choosing between cron and launchd, editing core/scripts/upgrade-ai-tools. Do NOT use for: checking for news (use check-news).

- Updating the AI tools
The CLI tools are kept up to date automatically: Claude Code is updated by the job's claude update. Its own background updater is off on both machines ("autoUpdates": false in /.claude.json), so a machine without the job stays on the version it has. Copilot and Codex are managed by mise, pinned to latest in /.config/mise/config.toml. core/scripts/upgrade-ai-tools runs mise upgrade on the tools + claude update. It is installed to /.local/bin/ by each AI installer (via core/scripts/install-bin.sh). The script runs daily at 05:00, before the board's morning jobs (the X list at 06:30, Nyhetssjekk at 07:00), so they run on the new versions. Set it up once per machine, and pick the mechanism by whether the machine sleeps: Always-on machine (desktop, server): plain cron. Laptop: a launchd agent instead. cron silently skips any run the machine sleeps through and never catches up, so a lid shut past 05:00 means no upgrade that day. launchd runs a missed StartCalendarInterval job on the next wake. Save as /Library/LaunchAgents/com. .upgrade-ai-tools.plist, then launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) : Do not run both — remove the cron line when installing the launchd agent. The matrix (docs/AISUPP
