Description

Description

The v2.0.2 tag still has 'version' => '2.0.1' in config/app.php — the version bump was missed when tagging:
https://github.com/laravel/forge-cli/blob/v2.0.2/config/app.php#L36

As a result, on a fresh install of the latest release:

$ composer global show laravel/forge-cli | grep versions
versions : * v2.0.2

$ forge --version
Forge CLI 2.0.1

And every authenticated command prints the update warning permanently, since the self-check compares the internal version string against Packagist:

==> You Are Using An Outdated Version [v2.0.1] Of Forge CLI. Please Update To [v2.0.2].

Suggested fix

Bump the version in config/app.php, rebuild builds/forge, and tag v2.0.3.

Research direction

Start with config/app.php at the version setting referenced in the issue, then inspect the existing builds/forge release artifact and the forge --version entry point. Done means the next tagged release reports its own version and no longer triggers the outdated-version warning; the issue specifically suggests rebuilding builds/forge and tagging v2.0.3.
