update

To restart Vellum services and rebuild the macOS app, run the update command. It quiesces running processes, verifies shutdown, pulls code from origin/main by default, and executes a foreground build followed by a background watcher run.

Yes, you can restart Vellum services on a feature branch without git operations. The process performs an in-place restart on feature branches by default, skipping all pulling and branch switching unless you explicitly use the checkout or --pull flags.

Yes, you need Bun installed as a dependency to execute the macOS app rebuild and Vellum service restart process. The build-and-run sequence relies on the Bun runtime environment to properly manage the foreground build and background watcher execution.

The best way to handle uncommitted changes during a service restart is through branch-aware git validation. The process prevents switching branches if uncommitted changes are detected, requiring you to commit or stash work before attempting a branch checkout.

A Vellum service restart requires a preflight process snapshot to ensure safe shutdown and fallback cleanup. This mechanism verifies that all running gateway and assistant processes are properly quiesced before executing the vellum sleep and vellum wake build sequence.

Forcing a pull on the current branch using the --pull flag updates your local code before the Vellum app build workflow begins. The process then proceeds with the standard foreground build, background watcher run, and outputs a startup health summary.
