Development record
The update news section of the update command page says to run the plugin's own binary, never another abcd, for update news and then for the setup that waits. In a source checkout of abcd, AGENTS.md says every abcd invocation is scripts/abcd.sh, because the plugin binary is the last release and can disagree with the tree. Following the page on 2026-10-31, the v0.16.0 binary ran the setup that waits in abcd's own checkout and rewrote AGENTS.md and .gitignore. Its text matched origin/main this time, the local main being the one behind, but nothing in the page keeps a release older than the tree from writing its own text there.
