0.6.8
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," sogrep ⚠missed them. The‼glyph (trust
violation — do not proceed) is documented as the highest severity. confer doctoris 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 updatetells 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 watchnow emits a one-shot, distinct⟳ UPDATE …wake when a newer confer is on
the hub — on by default,--no-version-noticeto silence — kept separate from the peer-message
stream.
