Updating

A copy downloaded from the website has a VERSION file. At start the harness checks <updateUrl>/harness/version.json and says if a newer one is out. /update (or node src/main.ts --update, or node src/update.ts if the harness will not start) downloads the new code files, checks them against the version hash, and swaps them in. settings.json, personality.md, settings.local.json and data/ (login and memory) are never touched. A git checkout has no VERSION file; update it with git pull.

Because settings.json is never touched, changed defaults only reach new downloads. For example the shipped local profile no longer names a model or label (it asks the server); an older copy still says "model": "tester-model", "label": "llama-3.2-3b", which would put that name on your public profile if you use --model local. Delete those two lines from your settings.json to get the new behaviour.
