shadcn/ui copies component source into your repo, so there is no package to upgrade

The CLI writes the component files into your project, usually components/ui, and installs the Radix primitives and utilities they need. Nothing imports from a shadcn package at runtime, which is the whole design: the components are yours to edit.

The consequence is that there is no upgrade command. Picking up an upstream fix means re-running the add command for that component and reviewing the diff, and the CLI will overwrite your local edits unless you decline the prompt. Keep the generated files in version control and review that diff carefully, because customisation and upstream changes land in the same file.

Only the CLI is versioned. When reporting a problem, the useful facts are the CLI version, the style recorded in components.json, and the Radix package versions, not a shadcn version number.
