How does gstack handle upgrades for a vendored installation?▼

For a vendored installation, gstack detects the local copy and configures the upgrade flow accordingly. It applies updates using stash, fetch, and reset operations, then performs a post-upgrade sync to ensure the vendored version matches the latest release.

What happens if the gstack upgrade fails during the update process?▼

If the upgrade fails, gstack performs a safe rollback to restore the previous state. The tool uses stash, fetch, and reset operations to apply updates and ensures a safe rollback if any step encounters an issue.

Does the gstack upgrade workflow support both global and local installations?▼

Yes, the upgrade workflow supports both global and local vendored installations. It detects the specific install type first, then configures the update flow to apply changes correctly whether gstack is installed globally or locally within a project.
