Release Notes
Added
- Cursor support — a new built-in
cursor agent covers the Cursor IDE and
the cursor-agent CLI with one wiring: a gitignored, always-on rule at
.cursor/rules/loadout.mdc (Cursor doesn't filter rules by gitignore —
verified live in both surfaces). Workflow stages ship as Cursor Skills
(/loadout-plan, /loadout-verify, …), and load run cursor launches the
CLI with a fresh overlay like any other agent.
- Hands-free freshness and adoption in the IDE — loadout registers a
sessionStart hook in ~/.cursor/hooks.json (automatically, from any
refresh/run/studio/sync, and only when Cursor is installed; other
tools' hook entries are preserved). Each IDE session quietly re-renders the
workspace before the first prompt, and opening a git repo one of your
loadouts applies to wires it on the spot — no load refresh ever needed.
Opt-outs: auto_adopt = false on the hook registry, or
load hook cursor --remove. load doctor checks the registration.
- Agent aliases — agents resolve by the binary name you know, not just
their id: load cursor-agent and load agent (Cursor's alias binary) both
reach cursor. Custom [[agents]] entries can declare their own aliases.
Unknown agent errors now list the known ids.
- New
[[agents]] descriptor fields for custom agents: target_file
(a fully loadout-owned wired file, written raw), preamble (mandatory first
bytes, e.g. MDC frontmatter), hook_registry (user-level lifecycle-hook
freshness), and aliases.
Changed
- The generated header now tells agents to self-refresh — an agent launched
outside load run (an IDE session, a direct CLI launch) is instructed to run
load refresh and re-read the overlay instead of merely being warned it may
be stale. Existing overlays pick the new wording up on their next refresh
(expect a one-time rewrite of every overlay).
Fixed
- Probes and script fragments can no longer hang a render — every
provider/command subprocess is bounded (10s), gets no stdin (a CLI that
prompts sees EOF), and is killed at the deadline. A wedged daemon (e.g. an
unresponsive docker ps) now degrades to "not available" like a missing
tool; a timed-out script fragment surfaces as a visible failure and is never
cached.
