Class DetachedUpdater

Namespace

JD.AI.Core.Installation

Assembly

JD.AI.Core.dll

Launches a self-update as a detached, out-of-process script so the running binary can be replaced after the current process exits.

On Windows, executable files are locked by the OS while running, so dotnet tool update -g JD.AI fails in-process. This launcher writes a temporary script that waits for the parent process to fully exit (by polling the PID), then performs the update. On Unix, file replacement works while a process is running, so this is only used on Windows.
