v1.2.0 - 2026-06-19

Added

  • Rust daemon (orca-daemon) β€” UDS IPC between Zig CLI and Rust evaluator; shell hook evaluation routed through daemon with fail-closed behavior when unavailable.
  • orca evaluate β€” Stable machine JSON API for shell command evaluation (--json --stdin).
  • orca start β€” Guided onboarding flow with host detection and plugin install.
  • Pi extension (@orca-guard/pi-orca) β€” Official Pi package for bash tool-call protection via orca evaluate.
  • Bundled orca-daemon in all platform release archives and install layouts.

Changed

  • Zig 0.16.0 toolchain migration.
  • Guided onboarding β€” Interactive orca setup with multi-host selection.
  • Unified versioning β€” Core and all agent plugins aligned to 1.2.0.
  • Shell PreToolUse / tool evaluation defaults route through Rust daemon when available.

Removed

  • Orca Edge β€” Drone/edge runtime removed from public core; agent guardrails focus only.

Fixed

  • Hermes Agent β€” Orca discovery, degraded-mode handling, and version mismatch fixes.
  • Pi integration β€” Honor deny decisions, timeouts, cwd, and auto unavailable mode.
  • Install/DX hardening β€” quick-install presets, orca doctor activation exports, piped install robustness.
