docs(installer): clarify PyPI prerelease lookup#1228
Conversation
Tighten the installer comment so it describes the actual PyPI info.version lookup used to decide whether prerelease flags should be enabled. This addresses the non-blocking documentation follow-up from PR #1217 without changing install behavior.\n\nServices: shared\nAffected files:\n- scripts/install.sh

Test Coverage Notes
- Reviewed
/tmp/pr_diff_1228.patch,/tmp/pr_changed_files_1228.txt,scripts/install.sh, and related installer test references intests/unit/scripts/test_install_runtime_selection.py. - Did not run tests; the PR changes only a shell comment at
scripts/install.sh:50and does not alter executable behavior.
Design Notes
This is a documentation-only comment correction inside the installer. It does not change runtime selection, PyPI lookup behavior, prerelease handling, installation commands, persistence, or setup contracts.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Affected boundary is limited to installer inline documentation. The executable boundary remains unchanged: PRE_FLAG is still derived from curl https://pypi.org/pypi/${PACKAGE_NAME}/json piped into Python reading ['info']['version'], and install paths continue to conditionally pass prerelease flags for uv, pipx, and pip.
Directional Notes
Maintainer memory emphasized avoiding documentation drift. The current change aligns the comment with the existing implementation, which reads PyPI JSON info.version; no blocker is supported by current HEAD evidence.
