BUG_REPORT: fix-install-update-flow

Findings

Bug 1 (LOW): install.sh set -e with || true on loop commands

The set -e flag causes the script to exit on any command failure. The || true on the self-improvement loop commands (lines 87-89) correctly prevents set -e from triggering. However, the || echo "WARNING: ..." on the version check (line 99) also prevents set -e from triggering, which is the intended behavior.

Severity: LOW (no bug -- verified correct) Fix: None needed.

Bug 2 (LOW): update.sh hook copy overwrites existing hooks

In update.sh, the hook installation only runs if [ -f "$HOOK_SRC" ] && [ ! -f "$HOOK_DST" ]. This means existing hooks are NOT overwritten, which is correct -- the user may have custom hooks. But if the user previously had automaton hooks installed via symlink (from the old ln -sf code), those symlinks will persist. The user would need to manually delete them and re-run install-hooks.sh to get copies.

Severity: LOW (migration concern for existing users) Fix: None needed for v1. The install-hooks.sh script always copies, so users can re-run it to switch from symlinks to copies.

Bug 3 (INFO): README still shows manual git clone before install.sh

The README now shows git clone <your-git-url> ~/.automaton followed by ./install.sh <your-git-url>. The user provides the URL twice: once for the manual clone and once for install.sh. This is slightly redundant but necessary because install.sh needs the URL for its own validation (and potentially for future self-update features). The manual clone is needed because install.sh itself is inside the cloned repo.

Severity: INFO (by design) Fix: None needed.

Summary

No correctness bugs found. Two LOW (one verified correct, one migration concern) and one INFO.

Verdict: CLEAN
