Upgrade DevSpark

Current Release

Current version: v4.2.0

DevSpark upgrades are quickstart-driven. Re-run the same quickstart prompt used for installation in the target repository.

Upgrade Flow

1. Open your AI coding assistant in the target repository.
2. Paste the matching quickstart prompt from quickstart/.
3. Ask the agent to run the version check and preview the upgrade plan.
4. Approve the plan.
5. Let the agent refresh framework-owned files under .devspark/ and verify the .knowledge current-truth scaffold.

The upgrade must preserve authored repository-owned .knowledge/ content. It may refresh stock prompts, helper scripts, templates, schemas, skills, agent shims, and .devspark/VERSION. It may also create missing .knowledge/entities/ and .knowledge/ontology/ scaffold files, regenerate generated ontology reports, and assimilate reviewed .documentation/ intake.

Repair Flow

Use the same quickstart prompt. Missing stock prompts, scripts, templates, schemas, skills, or shims are repaired by re-fetching the current release assets. Missing knowledge scaffold files are repaired without overwriting authored current-truth documents.

Not Supported

Any separate DevSpark terminal installer, updater, or repair command is not a supported maintenance path. Keep all installation, upgrade, and repair behavior inside the quickstart prompts.
