Normalize the unambiguous root --update alias before output handling and
through direct createCli().serve calls. Reuse the existing output-value scan
and canonical update command, including selected environment, installation
ownership, Windows-aware launch, verification, maintenance and failure facts.
Retain option data and help/check precedence. Reject remaining Incur install
requests: update:false does not disable its explicit installer in0.6.1.
Remove the superseded output-only normalizer name and update its consumers.
Validation:123focused checks/7files pass, including compiled CLI with an owned
rejecting fake npm and direct serve across5formats. Original argument owner
fails6new controls/7pass; isolated baseline fails8workflow checks/2controls
pass. Static/docs/discovery1561 pass. Both scoped source reviews are clear.
Six completed equivalent current-version workflows compare baseline canonical
update with the alias; complete replies identical. Native Windows upgrade,
real package-manager installation and full install costs remain unverified.
The first baseline escaped a Vitest-only builtin mock and installed REA in the
pinned Node global prefix. Removed the newly added package and verified original
Node/npm/Corepack tools. Re-ran using the real builtin spy with synchronized
ESM exports, an independently rejecting PATH shim and owned npm prefix/cache.
Keep heavy tests/profiling stopped. Independent updater output bounds remain
tracked in #4888 rather than changing collection policy in this routing fix.
