 //! Auto-updater implementation for the CLI
 //!
-//! This module provides two main functions:
-//! - `check_and_use_binary`: Validates the binary location and handles process spawning
-//! - `spawn_auto_update_thread`: Manages the background update process
+//! This module handles automatic updates by running a background thread that:
+//! - Periodically checks for new versions
+//! - Downloads and applies updates when available
+//! - Restarts the CLI with the new version
 //!
-//! The update process:
-//! 1. Verifies the binary location and handles process respawning if needed
-//! 2. Runs version checks in a background thread at configured intervals
-//! 3. Downloads and applies updates automatically when new versions are found
-//! 4. Handles process replacement with the new version
-//!
-//! The updater uses environment flags to prevent recursive spawning and supports
-//! both default and custom binary locations.
+//! The updater runs in a separate thread to avoid blocking the main CLI operations,
+//! allowing users to continue using the CLI while update checks happen in the background.

+# Test Auto-updater Functionality
+# 
+# This script tests the CLI's auto-update mechanism by:
+# 1. Setting up a clean test environment
+# 2. Starting CLI with initial version
+# 3. Simulating a new version release
+# 4. Verifying update and process handoff
+# 5. Cleaning up processes and test files
+#
+# Usage: ./test_updater.sh
+# Requires: git, cargo
+# Cleanup: Automatically kills processes and removes test directory on exit
+#
+# Note: Uses trap to ensure cleanup even if script is interrupted
+
+set -e  # Exit on any error
