…ad of Homebrew tap Homebrew caches tap formula versions and only updates when the user runs `brew update`, so users were getting stale versions (e.g. v0.55.2) even when newer releases were available. The generated install script now queries the GitHub releases API at runtime to get the true latest version tag and downloads the binary directly, bypassing the tap entirely. https://claude.ai/code/session_0189UGKcGBPUJz3XucAPPpwR
