Should the install guide tell people to run apt update & apt upgrade first?

My money is on the additional git pull is unnecessary, because of the code here:

discourse/discourse_docker/blob/8e2ccee0f2989885632c27c7f33a87719d3838ec/launcher#L744

    
      
              ;;
          
          
rebuild)
              if [ "$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)" == "master" ]; then
                git branch -m master main
                git fetch origin
                git branch -u origin/main main
                git remote set-head origin -a
              fi
          
          
    if [ "$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)" == "main" ]; then
                echo "Ensuring launcher is up to date"
          
          
      git remote update
          
          
      LOCAL=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
                REMOTE=$(git rev-parse @{u})
                BASE=$(git merge-base HEAD @{u})
          
          
      if [ $LOCAL = $REMOTE ]; then
                  echo "Launcher is up-to-date"

which seems to check the local version, updates and restarts the launcher if out of date (and a bunch of other things).

Therefore only this should be necessary on subsequent rebuilds:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app

without the redundant git pull.

(NB: always good to dive into the source code so you can be more sure).
(NB#2: have deleted my post above which just added to the confusion).
