Issue
Self-update was failing because Bun compiled binaries use a virtual filesystem path (
//root/) internally, which doesn't exist on the actual filesystem.Solution
Use
/proc/self/exeon Linux to get the real filesystem path of the running binary.Testing
✅ Tested locally with version 0.0.1 updating to 0.1.0
✅ Update completed successfully
✅ Binary replaced correctly at real path
