It now provides complete features that were originally provided by nuci (original backend for Foris). Now it does things like it manages userlists, translations, ensures that updater runs after given request without requests pilling up or even postrun hook. And with approvals it not only generates approvals but also parses them and approves/denies them. It just now handles all task around updater in API accessible way.
For features that are less API and more features is that it waits limited time for accessible network or that it can delay updater’s run by random amount of time or that it allows spawning it self as daemon.
But running it from console won’t give you anything. It might even degrade your usage. It’s just for autonomous usage really. For example if you have approvals enabled it won’t even ask you it will just end and you have to go to Foris or use python api to approve it before running it again.
