description	Use to reinstall Casefile over an existing installation, keeping the recovery state captured before Casefile was first installed.

Casefile update

Reinstall Casefile over its own installed state. Use this to re-apply a setup after changing the planning root or repairing a partial install.

Claude refuses to reinstall an installed version unless --overwrite is passed:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/setup-claude.py install \
  --plugin-root ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} \
  --planning-root <absolute-root> \
  --overwrite

Codex reinstalls over an active receipt without a flag:

${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/setup-codex.py install \
  --plugin-root ${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT} \
  --planning-root <absolute-root>

Show the complete preview and take explicit approval before repeating the command with --apply. Require one absolute planning root; never infer it from the previous receipt without confirming it.

Recovery state

The receipt written by this operation carries forward the pre-Casefile backup recorded by the first install. Casefile's own installed state is not backed up: restoring it is never the goal, and capturing it would overwrite the only record of the host's original configuration.

An install with no active receipt is a first install and captures the pre-Casefile state as normal.

Refusals

Do not use --overwrite to take ownership of a Claude installation this plugin does not own. Claude setup still refuses an unowned MCP server or a binding that differs from its receipt, and those refusals are correct: resolve them by hand. Codex setup owns its config keys and tables outright and overwrites them on every install.

Restart the host after a successful receipt-backed update.
