Research direction

Start at the fly deploy entry point and trace where the automatic upgrade is invoked, including the brew upgrade flyctl path shown in the report. First clarify which alternative the project wants; done should mean deploy no longer blocks command execution for an automatic update, with the selected behavior covered by tests.

Description

bug

I find it irritating that once I deploy something, flyctl updates itself and it blocks my work.
I want to do my job without this thing getting in my path.
Alternatives:

  1. make it skippable, like brew itself updates sometimes but if you hit ctrl+c you can skip it
  2. implement a configuration property to reduce these annoyances
  3. do this in the background and let me execute my commands
$ fly deploy         
Automatically updating 0.3.55 -> 0.3.64.
