Self Update

Check for application updates and apply them through the host’s release process.

Availability and installation

This guide covers @workforce-sdk/self-update version 0.3.0-alpha.1, currently a preview. The catalog does not verify public registry installation for this version. Obtain the matching package and dependencies through the delivery method shown on its product page. Do not infer that an unlisted package can be installed from the public npm registry.

The supported runtime, exported entry points, and compatibility commitments are listed in Compatibility. Check Release notes before upgrading.

Configure and use

Keep SDK settings in a YAML file and pass its path to the package’s public client. Keep credentials in application-owned secret storage; configuration examples contain references, not secret values.

• self-update.yaml — configuration example for this preview.

• buyer.mjs — buyer integration example.

The buyer script checks for updates by default. Its --apply option performs an update; use it only when the host has authorized that action.

Integration responsibilities

The application owns user authorization, credential storage, and permission to make external calls. Review the example before running it: a connected provider or an update action can have real effects. Preserve the package’s cancellation and disposal behavior where those APIs are exposed.

Preview compatibility is limited to the combinations actually recorded in Compatibility. An empty verified-combinations list is not a promise that every platform or client has been tested.
