…d bundled upgrade A launcher running from <prefix>/versions/<id> that current points at is in bundled mode: it runs only the Pi pinned by that version, never GENTLE_SHELL_PI, an adjacent fallback or PATH, and gives Pi, setup and subagents the bundled environment (our Node and npm first, npm settings in the prefix, PI_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK=1). gentle-shell update explains that Pi ships pinned and runs gentle-shell upgrade. gentle-shell upgrade installs the latest release beside the current one from its published lockfile, verifies it, switches current atomically and keeps two versions; --rollback switches back. A failure leaves current unchanged. Non-bundled installs are unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough
Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Bundled upgrades have two bounded edge cases: extension updates can run against the previous version, and a late failure can be reported after the new version is active. Fix these before relying on those upgrade paths, or merge with explicit acceptance of the risk. Pre-merge checks |

Run extension updates with the new bundled runtime.
For update --all, handleBundledUpgrade switches current, but the launcher then reuses the previously selected runtime and bundledEnv. The extension update therefore runs with the old version's Pi and environment. Re-exec the new launcher for the extension update, or run the extension update before the upgrade.

A failure after activation reports an upgrade failure, but current has already switched.
activateVersion runs first. If the release's ensureLauncher or pruneVersions throws after that, the error goes to handleBundledUpgrade, which then prints "gentle-shell upgrade: …" and exits 1. current already names the new version, so the documented guarantee "a failure leaves current untouched" is false in this case. The user also gets no rollback hint. To fix it, either catch errors after activation and report a partial success with the --rollback hint, or roll back current before rethrowing.
