Release Notes

Diagnostics + update-lifecycle release: make confer's output consistently classifiable by an AI
agent, and close the gaps in how agents learn about and adopt a new version.

  • Consistent diagnostic conventions. All diagnostics now go through one convention so an agent can
    reliably tell a real problem from a tuning hint: confer: ⚠ … (SAFETY — action recommended) vs
    confer: · … (advisory). This fixes a real hazard — watch's genuine safety warnings (shallow
    clone, hub-sync-failed, local-read-failed, presence-publish-failed) used to print with no glyph,
    identical to INFO lines like "hub reachable again," so grep ⚠ missed them. The glyph (trust
    violation — do not proceed) is documented as the highest severity.
  • confer doctor is now a real "is my setup OK" command. Beyond git-identity/signing/transport,
    it now checks the reactive layer (is a live watcher actually running for this role), clone health
    (shallow → cursor breakage, nested-in-a-work-repo), and ends with a glyph legend.
  • confer update tells you the follow-up steps. After updating the binary (self-update or the
    brew/cargo delegate), it now prints the two things agents forget: re-arm your watch so it runs the
    new build, and re-sync your skills (they're baked from the binary and go stale).
  • An opt-out "newer version available" watch notice. Version drift was only surfaced at watch
    startup, so a long-lived watcher never learned about a newer build that landed on the hub after it
    started. confer watch now emits a one-shot, distinct ⟳ UPDATE … wake when a newer confer is on
    the hub — on by default, --no-version-notice to silence — kept separate from the peer-message
    stream.
