After `v0.36.0` is pushed, CI (`build.yml`) attaches `grok-bot-bin-0.36.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst`. Until that asset exists, use `makepkg -si` for 0.36.0; the newest published asset may still be `v0.35.0-2`.

 ## Updating
 
-`./scripts/update.sh` reads Cursor's linux-x64 update feed, downloads the matching `.deb`, and bumps `pkgver` / `_commit` / `sha256sums` in `PKGBUILD` and `.SRCINFO`.
+Stay-current path when Cursor's linux-x64 Grok Bot feed moves. `PKGBUILD` is currently **0.36.0** (pkgrel 1). One updater: `./scripts/update.sh`.
 
-Scheduled Gitea Actions will do the same and build a release package.
+### Scheduled bump (Gitea Actions)
+
+`.gitea/workflows/update.yml` runs daily (`cron: '17 6 * * *'`) and on `workflow_dispatch`. It:
+
+1. Runs `./scripts/update.sh` against the live Cursor linux-x64 feed.
+2. If `pkgver` changed, commits `PKGBUILD` and `.SRCINFO`.
+3. Tags `v$pkgver` (an upstream bump resets `pkgrel` to 1, so 0.36.0 → tag `v0.36.0`).
+4. Pushes the branch and tag.
+
+The tag triggers `.gitea/workflows/build.yml`, which builds the Arch package and attaches `grok-bot-bin-$pkgver-$pkgrel-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst` to the Gitea release.
+
+Actions **can** push and tag on this forge. [Run 1190](https://git.s1d3sw1ped.com/s1d3sw1ped/grok-bot-bin/actions/runs/1190) (schedule on `master`) bumped 0.30.0 → 0.35.0 and pushed `master` plus tag `v0.35.0`.
+
+If the script cannot parse the feed, or `curl` / `jq` / `python3` is missing, the job fails. A no-op is only “already at this `pkgver`”.
+
+### Manual force path
+
+When you do not want to wait for cron, or you are landing a bump on `develop`:
+
+```bash
+# requires curl, jq, python3
+./scripts/update.sh
+```
+
+If the feed is newer, that rewrites `PKGBUILD` and `.SRCINFO`. Then commit, tag, and push (or open a PR into `develop`):
+
+```bash
+git add PKGBUILD .SRCINFO
+git commit -m "pkgbuild: Bump grok-bot-bin to <pkgver>"
+git push origin HEAD:develop   # or open a PR into develop
+# After it should cut a release:
+git tag "v<pkgver>"            # e.g. v0.36.0
+git push origin "v<pkgver>"
+makepkg -si                    # install from this tree without waiting for the release asset
+```
+
+Install the new version with `makepkg -si`, or (once CI publishes the asset) `pacman -U` from Releases as in the example above.
 
 ## Notes
 
 - `/usr/bin/grok-bot` (and `sand`) is a launch shim: unless `GROK_BOT_NO_UPDATE=1`, it checks the latest Gitea release and may `pacman -U` a newer `.pkg.tar.zst` before exec'ing `/opt/Grok Bot/…`. Network/API failures still launch the installed binary.
 - If the app menu still launches an old binary without updating, run `/usr/bin/grok-bot` once from a terminal, or `sudo pacman -U` the newer `.pkg.tar.zst` from Releases — the menu must call the PATH shim, not `/opt/Grok Bot/…`.
