+// While technically using a "self update" crate, we can actually use the same method
+// for managing a CLI install. Neat!
+// This should still be locked to the same version as the UI. Drift there could lead to issues.
+// In the future we can follow semver and allow for minor version drift.
+
+// If you'd like to follow the conventions of your OS, distro, etc, then I would suggest
+// following the CLI install instructions. This is intended to streamline install UX
