Install the free cfa command line tool with one PowerShell command or from npm, and keep it updated with cfa self-update.
The cfa CLI is free and self contained. The PowerShell one-liner is the recommended install: it needs nothing else, no Node and no npm. Prefer npm? Use the second tab.

Updating the CLI is separate from the plugin. cfa self-update knows how you installed it and does the right thing: a direct install replaces itself, an npm install runs npm for you.
cfa self-updateWorks for both install methods: a direct install replaces itself, an npm install runs npm for you.

When a newer build is published, cfa mentions it once, and it does so wherever you actually work: in the terminal, and in the response your AI assistant reads, so an assistant can pass it on. The editor panel shows the same thing, with the CodeFizz toolbar icon turning amber. Nothing updates itself, it only tells you.
Ask at any time. Shows both versions, every install, and what each update is for:
