ByteAsk CLI 0.2.4
ByteAsk's best-measured harness configuration is now the default. Nothing to set up: every setting below is on
for new and updated installs, and each one can be changed in ~/.byteask/config.toml.
With ByteAsk Context connected (byteask context connect):
- ByteAsk follows a short set of working rules: reproduce the problem first, make the change complete across the
related places (Context'sfind_related_changesandget_symbollist candidates), keep the repository's own
helpers and names, and check the change withcpp_finish_checkbefore finishing. Your owndeveloper_instructions
replace them. - Context's code pack waits up to 2 minutes on large repositories, and a top-level CMakeLists.txt, meson.build or
configure.ac marks a repository as C/C++. cpp_finish_checklists the places Context says may need the same change, right after its verdict.- Headless runs (
byteask exec) offer a smaller tool set; interactive sessions keep every tool.
C/C++ checks:
cpp_finish_checkbuilds and runs the nearest tests' programs first and names the other tests the change reaches.- A change that no compiled file reaches is reported as not checked, never as passed.
- When a turn ends with a C/C++ change nobody checked, ByteAsk runs the check once and shows the result.
- C/C++ tools whose program is not installed are not offered.
Builds and long commands:
- ByteAsk's background builds run at idle priority, give way to your builds in the same tree, and stop first under
memory pressure. - The environment note states the memory limit and a job count that fits it.
- On a long-running command without a terminal, ByteAsk waits 30 s before the first check and up to 3 minutes
between checks; every wait ends as soon as the command exits.
Platforms: Linux (x86_64, arm64) and Windows carry everything above. The macOS engine in this release is the 0.2.3 engine; the 0.2.4 macOS engine follows.
