0.6.0 - 2026-10-18

Release Notes

Added

• Machine-readable exit-code reference (CLI-73): hamstik commands --exit-codes prints the stable exit-code table (0–10) with name, meaning,
  and remediation as a human table, or the versioned exitCodesVersion: 1
  document under --json/--format json — riding the shared --fields,
  --jq, and output-mode contract. The same table is embedded in the
  commands --json manifest as the additive exitCodes block, so one
  manifest fetch yields both the command surface and the failure schema.
  Every entry is generated from the same exit constants the error renderer
  maps onto, so the table cannot drift from actual behavior, and contract
  tests assert the eleven documented codes stay contiguous and named.

• work diff <KEY> (CLI-56): review-style Work Item comparison with two
  server-authoritative modes. Default baseline mode compares against a local
  baseline recorded with work diff KEY --save-baseline — a per-user file
  under the config directory (baselines/<org>/<project>/<KEY>.json) that
  contains no credentials and is replaced only by another --save-baseline
  — and reports every changed field with before/after (title, description,
  status, priority, assignee, sprint, parent, labels, Attributes, due date,
  and more; identity, volatile, server-computed, and social fields are
  excluded and named in the output). --since <revision> reports the
  revision delta plus the field changes the server records in the item's
  activity feed with explicit coverage: partial and historySupported: false — the Public API v1 exposes no revision snapshots, and the CLI
  never fabricates a diff. Unchanged comparisons exit 0 with an explicit
  no-changes result; --fail-on-change exits with the conflict exit code
  (6) when differences exist. Human table rendering plus the versioned
  diffVersion: 1 document under --json.

• Shared saved-query library (CLI-57): SqueakQL queries can now live in a
  version-controllable directory, so teams share queries via the repository
  instead of only per-user local saves. Resolution precedence is strict and
  documented — repository .hamstik/queries/<NAME>.squeakql (discovered by
  walking up from the working directory), then config-dir
  queries/<NAME>.squeakql, then the existing queries.toml entries
  written by squeakql save (unchanged) — and collisions are never silent:
  the first source wins while squeakql list reports every holding source
  (sources) plus the winner (source). New squeakql run <NAME> executes
  a resolved query through the same pipeline as work search --saved NAME
  (also library-aware now), and squeakql validate --saved NAME and
  squeakql show resolve through the same precedence. Files hold only
  plain query text under the saved-query size cap; files with invalid name
  stems are ignored; there is no sync/upload — committing the file is the
  sharing mechanism, so a query committed to a repository runs identically
  for anyone who checks it out.

Fixed

• The CLI no longer crashes with a stack overflow on Windows when built in
  debug mode (the cargo build / cargo test profile). Windows defaults the
  main thread to a 1 MiB stack and some code paths — observed with large
  --file request bodies in the report/dashboard commands — exceeded it,
  aborting with STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW before any diagnostic. hamstik now
  runs its full command dispatch on an explicitly 32 MiB thread on every
  platform, making stack depth uniform across Windows/macOS/Linux and across
  debug and release profiles. Release archives were never affected.

Internal

• Windows CI: the external-plugin integration tests now create
  platform-appropriate plugin stubs (.cmd batch files on Windows instead
  of extensionless #!/bin/sh scripts), so the six plugin invocation tests
  run and pass on windows-latest too. Test-only change; the CLI's plugin
  discovery and invocation were already correct on every platform.
