Housekeeping only — the binary behaves exactly as 0.1.0 does.

Other

  • Enable clippy::pedantic in Cargo.toml so the existing -D warnings CI gate covers it, and clear
    every finding. Only the rasteriser and the .ico writer keep a module-level allow, for cast lints on
    small bounded integers.
  • Trim the README from 308 lines to 215 and add CLAUDE.md describing the architecture that takes several
    files to see.
  • Widen .gitignore to cover the diagnostics files, editor and OS leftovers, and machine-local Claude
    settings.

A portable Windows tray app that watches your global npm and bun packages, notifies you when one falls
behind, and updates it on a click. It never updates anything on its own.

Install

Download npm-globals-tray.exe and run it. There is no installer — it keeps its config in a
npm-globals-tray.json next to itself, so it can live on a USB stick or in any folder you like. Enable
Run at startup from the tray menu if you want it to come back after a reboot.

Notes

  • npm and @anthropic-ai/claude-code are ignored by default, because the first rewrites its own shim
    mid-update on Windows and the second updates itself. Remove them from ignore in the config to manage
    them here.
  • Checks run at startup and every six hours; a notification is only raised when the set of outdated
    packages actually changes.
  • See the README for the full config reference and how to remove the app cleanly.
