Linux, Google Chrome, repo Playwright 1.60.0, real managed Pi installer.

Main dev server: /home/user/main, web 8693, server 16733.
PR dev server: /home/user/t3code, isolated .t3, web 5733, server 13773.
Only one dev server running at a time. Both installs used vp i.

App-created project: /home/user/pi-native (real git repository).
App-created Pi instance: pi_pi_native_verification.
Binary: /home/user/pi-custom/bin/pi (official managed installer).
Instance environment: PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR=/home/user/pi-custom.
Real npm package: pi-subagents, settings source npm:pi-subagents (unpinned).
Real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns installed the extension and read back versions.

Matching starting state:
$ timeout 30 /home/user/pi-custom/bin/pi --version
1.4.0
$ timeout 30 node -p "require('/home/user/pi-custom/npm/node_modules/pi-subagents/package.json').version"
0.86.0

On main, clicked Settings > Providers > Pi native verification > update indicator > Update now.
Displayed native command: /home/user/pi-custom/bin/pi update --self
After update:
$ timeout 30 /home/user/pi-custom/bin/pi --version
1.5.1
$ timeout 30 node -p "require('/home/user/pi-custom/npm/node_modules/pi-subagents/package.json').version"
0.86.0
Original missing extension update reproduced.

Restored the installed managed 1.4.0 release for the same starting state.
On PR, clicked the same app action.
Displayed command: /home/user/pi-custom/bin/pi update --self --extensions
UI progress: Updating npm:pi-subagents... then Verifying the installed version.
UI result: v1.5.1; Pi update indicator removed.
$ timeout 30 /home/user/pi-custom/bin/pi --version
1.5.1
$ timeout 30 node -p "require('/home/user/pi-custom/npm/node_modules/pi-subagents/package.json').version"
0.87.0
Subsequent Codex gpt-6.1-sol turn independently read the same versions and unchanged package source.

Blacksmith:
vp test run packages/provider-pi/src/server/driver.test.ts packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.test.ts
2 files passed, 106 tests passed.

Not exercised: native mobile/Electron, macOS/Windows, Pi model turns (no Pi model auth), older Pi releases, project-scoped packages, queued updates across multiple Pi instances, relay/tunnel.
Known scope limits from discussion: version-current instances skip maintenance; project packages require workspace cwd.
Standalone release tarball was unsuitable: its own self-updater rejected the installation. Final verification used the official managed installer.
