v2026.9.4

Fixed

• Preserve existing capsule configuration when initialization reapplies distribution defaults. Defaults now fill missing keys without resetting operator choices; explicitly supplied values still override existing settings.

Install

From source (requires Rust 1.95+):

cargo install astrid

Linux pre-built archive:

tar xzf astrid-*-$(uname -m)-unknown-linux-*.tar.gz
sudo install -m 0755 astrid-*/astrid astrid-*/astrid-daemon \
  astrid-*/astrid-build astrid-*/astrid-emit \
  astrid-*/astrid-storage-provider-fuse /usr/local/bin/

macOS pre-built archive and signed AstridFS app:

ARCH=$(uname -m); [[ "$ARCH" == arm64 ]] && ARCH=aarch64
tar xzf astrid-*-${ARCH}-apple-darwin.tar.gz
sudo install -m 0755 astrid-*/astrid astrid-*/astrid-daemon \
  astrid-*/astrid-build astrid-*/astrid-emit /usr/local/bin/
astrid-*/macos/manage-macos-fskit.sh install
astrid-*/macos/manage-macos-fskit.sh enable

Astrid Runtime does not bundle a product distro. To compose it with a
distro you trust, run:

astrid init --distro <name, @org/repo, path, or .shuttle>
