Changes

GitHub Copilot on Windows, fixed. Copilot's hooks on Windows do nothing when lane isn't there, so removing Lanes no longer leaves the Copilot CLI turning down every tool, and VS Code on Windows now turns down copies of the repo like everywhere else. Still a preview.

lane setup --yes    # on Windows, writes Copilot's hooks again after you upgrade

In this version:

• Copilot's hooks on Windows run lane by its full path and do nothing if it has gone, the same in cmd.exe, Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7. An editor started before Lanes was installed still finds it.
• VS Code on Windows turns down copies of the repo. In 0.0.8 PowerShell turned the hook's exit 2 into 1, which VS Code takes as a warning, so copies went ahead.
• Upgrading on Windows: hooks written by 0.0.8 count as out of date. lane setup --yes, the welcome in lane and lane doctor --fix write them again, and lane doctor says when they need it. macOS and Linux keep the hooks they have.

Known issues:

• Gemini CLI and GitHub Copilot are checked against their documented hook formats, not yet in live sessions.

Not yet:

• No checkpoints or undo, no promote to a pull request, and no database per lane.

• 18:35 Fixed: on Windows, GitHub Copilot's hooks do nothing when lane can't be found, so the Copilot CLI no longer turns down every tool after Lanes is removed (the known issue in 0.0.8).
  • They run lane by the absolute path lane setup found, so an editor whose PATH is from before the install still finds it, and they work the same whether Copilot runs them in PowerShell or cmd.exe. A path that one of those shells would read differently falls back to lane.exe on PATH.
  • VS Code on Windows now turns down copies of the repo too: PowerShell had turned the hook's exit 2 into 1, which VS Code takes as a warning.
  • lane setup, the welcome and lane doctor --fix notice hooks from 0.0.8 and write them again. lane doctor says when Copilot's hooks are from 0.0.8, or run a lane that isn't there any more, and that lane setup --yes updates them. lane setup --yes --agents off still takes the file away, and macOS and Linux keep the hooks they had.

• 17:58 Changed: the website offers 0.0.8. The guide shows Gemini CLI and GitHub Copilot making lanes, lane mcp for agents' tools, and laned behind the terminal app. (b029a36)
