v0.4.0

sq v0.4.0 tightens the default task-file workflow, refreshes the CLI help/output, and adds release automation for macOS binaries and the Homebrew tap.

Highlights

• Breaking: default task file path is now .sift/issues.jsonl
  • SQ_QUEUE_PATH still overrides the path explicitly
  • legacy SIFT_QUEUE_PATH support has been removed
• improved CLI help and sq prime output
  • title/description flags are surfaced earlier in help for add, collect, and edit
  • main help and collect --help now include clearer examples and task-file wording
• refreshed docs and positioning
  • README now focuses on task-list workflows
  • added an sq vs. Beads comparison doc
• release pipeline improvements
  • published GitHub Releases now build macOS archives for Apple Silicon and Intel
  • published releases upload those artifacts and update the Homebrew tap automatically

Upgrade notes

If you relied on the old default path or the legacy env var, update your workflow:

export SQ_QUEUE_PATH=/path/to/issues.jsonl

Or move your default local task file to:

.sift/issues.jsonl
