Changelog

Development and feature builds of the Slack CLI are no longer prompted to "upgrade" to the release they were built from.

Summary

This pull request ignores the prerelease suffix of the current version when checking for updates, so development builds aren't suggested a downgrade.

• Development builds use git describe versions like v4.11.0-9-g154975a, and feature builds are tagged like v4.11.0-example-feature. Both come after the v4.11.0 release, but semver orders prereleases before it, so the update check suggested v4.11.0-9-g154975a → 4.11.0.
• Our versioning scheme doesn't increment the version before attaching rc or feature tags, so comparing against v4.11.0 holds for suggesting the next stable version. A newer release like v4.12.0 is still suggested.
• This comes before upcoming work to update the CLI automatically instead of prompting, where a mistaken downgrade would happen without asking.

Preview

$ ./bin/slack --version
Using slack v4.11.0-9-g154975a
$ ./bin/slack upgrade

Before

🌱 A new version of the Slack CLI is available:
   v4.11.0-9-g154975a → 4.11.0

After

✔ You are using the latest Slack CLI version

Testing

1. Build this branch with make build and confirm ./bin/slack --version shows a vX.Y.Z-N-g<hash> version
2. Run ./bin/slack upgrade and confirm "You are using the latest Slack CLI version"
3. Run SLACK_TEST_VERSION=v4.11.0-example-feature ./bin/slack upgrade and confirm the same message
4. Run SLACK_TEST_VERSION=v4.10.0 ./bin/slack upgrade and confirm a newer version is still suggested

Notes

• If release candidates are published as vX.Y.Z-rc.N before vX.Y.Z in the future, this comparison would need to treat those as earlier than the release.

Requirements

• I've read and understood the Contributing Guidelines and have done my best effort to follow them.
• I've read and agree to the Code of Conduct.

✅ Thanks @zimeg! So good to see the upgrade command getting some love and attention, especially with auto-update on the way.
