Wombat v0.4.0

Use one task-oriented Codex Skill and a local CLI to investigate project obstacles, make targeted changes and recheck the original problem. Data preparation now runs when a query needs it.

Highlights

  • Use the single $wombat:wombat entry to resume work, investigate an obstacle, verify a delivery, review work and usage, or improve a project workflow. Each task loads only its relevant guidance; static project reviews need no initialization or history scan.
  • Project reviews inspect actual execution and validation paths, examine counterevidence and identify a concrete owner, smallest change and original check to rerun. Reviews distinguish a verified fix from later adoption or improved outcomes.
  • Installation and source notifications no longer trigger background indexing. Queries prepare the data they need and reuse persistent accounting facts and bounded history views. Explicit monitoring and optional resident process lifetime remain available.
  • The shipped product is CLI and Skill only. The Web interface, browser transport and separate task Skills are removed. Refresh the Codex plugin with the documented installer --plugin option and use the main Skill for all task flows.
  • Resumed development acceptance now invalidates old results when shared test helpers change, while unchanged inputs remain reusable. Clean installed-runtime acceptance uses only the required CLI and Skill assets, without depending on removed Web files.
  • CLI command dispatch and command discovery now share one lazy registry. Help opens with the main usage entry, and obsolete Web and interactive-prompt error branches are removed. The schema tooling's URI parser also includes upstream security fixes.

Install or update

wombat update

Supported archives: darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, linux-x64, linux-arm64, win32-x64.

Known limitations

  • Codex is the only production data source. Native plugin discovery requires a compatible local Codex. Windows Hook collection and native user-session manager behavior on Linux and Windows remain separately qualified capabilities.
  • Recent preparation prioritizes the default 30-day window; historical requests can require more work. On-demand execution and cache budgets are not hard latency or process-memory limits. Initial preparation and large detail requests can still use substantial resources.
  • Original-text access supports selected message mappings and text parts. Unknown mappings, non-text content and delta-stream assembly remain explicit gaps.
  • Conversation reads verify selected source text blocks and reject changed, replaced, missing or unavailable sources. A successful snippet does not prove that the complete source file is unchanged. Changes require a valid fixed baseline and do not establish additional work or savings.
  • API costs are estimates. Unpriced or partial data stays explicit and is separate from subscription allowance.
  • Unsupported derived index and parser-cache formats require a rebuild. Existing data is not migrated or automatically deleted. Follow the documented format recovery and preserve user decisions; a different WOMBAT_DATA_HOME does not transfer them.
  • Missing, deferred and partial source coverage remains explicit. Timing and usage observations do not establish cause, code quality or savings, and a controlled repair does not prove later improvement.

Verification and security

All five archives were built and exercised on their target platforms from commit 872075801eaa901fa660c45fdd505288dc228ad3. Installers and updates verify the published size and SHA-256 digest before switching versions. GitHub provides build provenance attestations for the platform archives. Wombat reads local sources without changing them; network behavior and native handoff follow the documented privacy boundaries.
