feat(daemon): support direct download update for non-Homebrew installs (#334)
* feat(daemon): support direct download update for non-Homebrew installs

Previously, CLI auto-update only worked for Homebrew installations. Non-brew
binaries would fail with "not installed via Homebrew". Now the daemon and
`multica update` fall back to downloading the release binary directly from
GitHub Releases when Homebrew is not detected.

Also fixes:
- Daemon restart now uses the current executable's absolute path instead of
  searching PATH, ensuring the updated binary is used
- Brew installs preserve the symlink path so the new Cellar version is picked up
- Daemon startup logs now include the CLI version
- Update UI auto-clears "restarting" status after 5s to show the new version

What is Multica?

Multica turns coding agents into real teammates. Assign issues to an agent like you'd assign to a colleague — they'll pick up the work, write code, report blockers, and update statuses autonomously.

No more copy-pasting prompts. No more babysitting runs. Your agents show up on the board, participate in conversations, and compound reusable skills over time. Works with Claude Code and Codex.

Features

  • Agents as Teammates — assign to an agent like you'd assign to a colleague. They have profiles, show up on the board, post comments, create issues, and report blockers proactively.
  • Autonomous Execution — set it and forget it. Full task lifecycle management (enqueue, claim, start, complete/fail) with real-time progress streaming via WebSocket.
  • Reusable Skills — every solution becomes a reusable skill for the whole team. Deployments, migrations, code reviews — skills compound your team's capabilities over time.
  • Unified Runtimes — one dashboard for all your compute. Local daemons and cloud runtimes, auto-detection of available CLIs, real-time monitoring.
  • Multi-Workspace — organize work across teams with workspace-level isolation. Each workspace has its own agents, issues, and settings.

Getting Started

Multica Cloud

The fastest way to get started — no setup required: multica.ai

Self-Host with Docker

git clone https://github.com/multica-ai/multica.git
cd multica
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env — at minimum, change JWT_SECRET

docker compose up -d                              # Start PostgreSQL
cd server && go run ./cmd/migrate up && cd ..     # Run migrations
make start                                         # Start the app

See the Self-Hosting Guide for full instructions.

CLI

The multica CLI connects your local machine to Multica — authenticate, manage workspaces, and run the agent daemon.

# Install
brew tap multica-ai/tap
brew install multica

# Authenticate and start
multica login
multica daemon start

The daemon auto-detects available agent CLIs (claude, codex) on your PATH. When an agent is assigned a task, the daemon creates an isolated environment, runs the agent, and reports results back.

See the CLI and Daemon Guide for the full command reference, daemon configuration, and advanced usage.
