v8.1.0
5f0050b

A plain double-click now configures the AI tools you actually have, instead of assuming five providers and downloading the rest.

One-click means one click

  • Providers are auto-detected. Through v8.0.4, -Providers defaulted to all five and the bootstrap then fetched the missing ones — a machine with only Claude Code finished the install carrying Codex, Grok, Kimi and Hermes. Detection is executable presence, so uninstalling a provider actually removes it from future runs; a leftover ~/.kimi-code no longer counts as an install. An empty machine still falls back to all five. -AllProviders forces the old behavior.
  • -Providers Grok,Claude works from START-HERE.bat now. powershell -File collapses it into one string, which ValidateSet rejected — so the documented syntax never worked from the launcher people actually use.
  • claude-mem is opt-in (-WithClaudeMem). It is the only component that is not unattended: Bun runtime, background worker daemon, and a Claude Code restart before its tools appear.
  • One launcher. INSTALL-V8-AIO.bat called START-HERE.bat and nothing else, and cost a hand-maintained version string every release. Deleted. START-HERE.bat installs from this folder; INSTALL-REMOTE.bat downloads the release first.

Hermes native profiles

TOOLS\Migrate-HermesProfiles.ps1 owns default (context7/GitHub/Headroom), roblox (+ the official Studio MCP) and skyrim (+ houseCARL). Forge MCPs are not members of any of them — Skyrim Forge and Spooky stay reachable through their skills and CLIs, with -WithForgeCompatibility as the explicit opt-in.

Backup-first with hash-verified rollback, preserves unknown user MCP entries, creates a game profile only when its capability is installed, and reports no-op on the second run.

Measured: tool count is the wrong unit

houseCARL 1.9.0      45 tools  167,118 bytes  ~41,780 tokens/turn
skyrim-forge 6.0.0   52 tools   17,488 bytes   ~4,372 tokens/turn

Skyrim Forge has seven more tools and costs a tenth of the context. Ranking by tool count puts Forge first in line to be cut — backwards by an order of magnitude. Recorded in BUNDLED-TOOLS/capability-records/game-mcp-schema-cost.json.

Fixed

Two release contracts were defined but missing from the list CI iterates — including the one guarding the Hermes profile migration. Both registered, and a falsifiable guard now compares the module namespace against the list.

Verified on 5f0050b: 18/18 checks green, 68/68 release contracts, pack gate PASS, hermes bootstrap 5/5, MANIFEST 4418 files / 0 mismatch, installer exit 0 with doctor PASS.
