Expand description
shellgame update: downloads the release archive for this platform, checks that the new
binary runs and replaces the running one.
The archive is shellgame-<linux|macos>-<x86_64|aarch64>.tar.gz from the latest GitHub
release (or $SHELLGAME_UPDATE_URL, which tests point at a file:// archive). curl and
tar do the work, which keeps TLS out of the binary. The download goes into a temporary
directory next to the running binary, so the final rename stays on one filesystem and
replaces the binary atomically; a running binary can be replaced on Linux and macOS.
