The recommended installation and update mechanism is to use the provided install script and run it with the desired source.

Adds a new CLI command self update to `jmp, which fetches the script from the repository and executes it. This is similar to the self update command from uv.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI adds jmp self update. The command accepts an optional installation source, runs the fetched installer through Bash, and preserves the source for later updates. The command is registered, tested, and documented.

Changes

CLI self-update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Persist installation source
python/install.sh
The installer records the resolved source after installation and restores it when no source argument is provided.
Implement and validate self-update
python/packages/jumpstarter-cli/jumpstarter_cli/self.py, python/packages/jumpstarter-cli/jumpstarter_cli/self_update.py, python/packages/jumpstarter-cli/jumpstarter_cli/self_update_test.py
Adds the self command group and an update command. The command locates the installation directory, fetches the installer, and executes it with optional arguments. Tests cover directory detection, script fetching, and command arguments.
Register and document the command
python/packages/jumpstarter-cli/jumpstarter_cli/jmp.py, README.md, docs/source/getting-started/installation/packages.md
Registers self with jmp and documents jmp self update in the README and installation guide.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 51fcb

The new self-update command executes installer code from a mutable upstream branch without integrity verification, so upstream tampering could run with the user's privileges; interrupted updates may also leave installations partially replaced, and a current test passes an invalid CLI argument. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Poem

A rabbit typed jmp self update
The source slept in its cache
Bash carried the installer
Tests watched each argument
The CLI hopped back, refreshed

latest release is 0.9, and we probably need to guard against drift here

I was using it from
https://github.com/jumpstarter-dev/jumpstarter/blob/main/python/install.sh#L55

How about using only release as possible choice? Then we would need to determine the latest release (0.9.0, 0.8.1 etc.) - is there a better way than using the git tags for it?

@engelmi @bennyz I think it would be cool if install.sh stored the preferred branch (main/release/xxx) in ~/.local/jumpstarter/install_branch or similar

and if that file is present, stick to that version instead. So that we continue to update on the branch the user installed.

@mangelajo @bennyz Added another commit: the install.sh creates the install_source file and uses the order CLI -s option > install_source file > default source. The self update is now agnostic to the possible sources (validity is handled in the script anyway), but still provides the --source parameter to support overwriting/switching the current source.
