Updating

Suzuri checks for new releases while it runs, downloads and installs them in the background, and then shows a Restart to update button in the title bar. Suzuri → Check for Updates does the same on demand.

Updates come from Suzuri's own GitHub releases — Zed's release server is never asked, so a Suzuri build never replaces itself with Zed.

Turning the background check off

{
  "auto_update": false
}

With auto-update off, Check for Updates still works when you ask for it.

Version numbers

Suzuri's version is not the Zed version the build reports elsewhere. The Zed number tracks the upstream base this fork is built on; Suzuri's own releases are tagged suzuri-v<version> and move on their own cadence. The two number lines are unrelated.

Uninstalling

Suzuri installs as an ordinary application: delete Suzuri.app on macOS, use Add/Remove Programs on Windows, or remove the extracted suzuri.app folder on Linux. Settings and logs live in Zed's standard data directory and can be removed separately.
