Added

  • An icon. Embedded in the Windows executable as a six-frame .ico (16 through 256), so it shows in
    Explorer, the taskbar and file properties. Set only for Windows targets: Linux and macOS binaries have nowhere
    to put one, and setting the property unconditionally makes those publishes warn about a resource they cannot
    use. The release bundles carry assets/rtfq.png because the bundled README references it.

Changed

  • RTFQ now expands as Remote Tool For Queries. Same four letters, safe on a shared screen, and a truer
    description besides: reaching data sources on a machine you cannot otherwise get to is the whole pitch.
  • no token now says where the value comes from. "pass --token or set RTFQ_TOKEN" is accurate and useless
    in the case people actually hit — standing on the server box, where the config's secrets are exported and the
    client variable is not, with nothing to suggest the two want the same string.

Documentation

  • The approvals walkthrough gained the three things a field report showed were missing: that the agent cannot
    approve its own write
    and no tool will ever let it; that nothing notifies you, with both answers
    (--watch for one operator, a webhook for a team); and when to turn approval on at all — production,
    where a small in-bounds wrong write is what no structural gate catches, rather than a dev database, where
    signing off every scratch write is how people end up removing the gate everywhere.
  • Says where to run rtfq approvals --watch: it is a client, not a server component, so your own machine is
    usually the right place. Several people can watch at once — the first answer wins and the request leaves
    everyone else's queue.
