WARNING: Auto-upgrade is still disabled on non-kilo-cli instances

instance-features.md documents KILOCLAW_KILO_CLI as a config-only flag because the kilo binary is always present in the image. Gating the background npm install -g @kilocode/cli@latest behind this flag means instances without that feature stay on the baked-in 7.1.13, so they still do not pick up newer CLI releases unless the image is rebuilt.

// Strip NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX so the install overwrites the system-wide
// binary in /usr/local/bin instead of writing to the per-user prefix.
const upgradeEnv = { ...process.env };
delete upgradeEnv.NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX;
execFile('npm', ['install', '-g', '@kilocode/cli@latest'], { env: upgradeEnv }, err => {
if (err) {
console.warn(
'[kilo-cli] Background upgrade failed (using baked-in version):',
err.message
);
} else {
console.log('[kilo-cli] Upgraded to latest version');
}
});
}
} catch (err) {
const fullError = err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err);
controllerState.current = { state: 'degraded', error: toPublicDegradedError('gateway-start') };
