An older server is still running after an update. Accept the offer to restart it, or run
rakumux daemon restart. When the server supports restarting in place, sessions keep running;
otherwise Rakumux asks before stopping it.The update says the install isn't writable

Automatic updates need write access to the install directory. Re-run the installer with the same

Without hooks, Rakumux reads the agent’s screen, which can lag behind. Install the

its agent has written 5 messages or finished; press s for one sooner. A session you renamed

Over SSH, Rakumux waits a little longer for the rest of an escape sequence (an arrow key, Home,
End, PgUp, PgDn, F1 to F4 or a focus report), so a lone
