v0.31.1

Highlights

• The RTK command rewriter is now trustworthy or inert. Six defects in the agent shell's rg/grep rewrite path are closed: ERE alternation was silently dropped and returned exit 1 instead of erroring, argv quoting was dropped so spaced patterns and paths split apart, the dialect guard misread egrep as a basic-regex search and missed a narrowing when rg or egrep appeared as an argument, and a rewrite that split an argument on a non-space character survived both guards. An rtk that fails its own faithfulness probe now stops rewriting entirely rather than merely stopping advertising itself.

• Operator steering survives a refused restart. A restart refusal used to park steering permanently with no redelivery once the hold expired. Lapsed redelivery now gets a wake of its own instead of relying on the ensure it had just emptied, and the parked-lane timer's termination and end-to-end lapse drive are covered.

• Launch outcomes report what actually happened. The rapid-death restart guard distinguishes a clean short run from a crash, and Codex launch activity is read from the rollout rather than stdout, which had recorded every launch as 0 activity.

• The agent command hot path got much cheaper. The wrapper no longer spawns 19 git subprocesses per agent command.

• Long-running gates are legible while they run. The task-done suite seam is teed, so a green run that takes minutes is visibly alive, and spice dev pytest names the path or node id it could not find instead of reporting that no tests ran.

Changes by project

Lifecycle Wrapper

• Wrapper hot path spawns 19 git subprocesses per agent command. (025b021)

CLI Wrapper

• Rtk rg rewrite silently drops ERE alternation and returns exit 1 instead of erroring. (2466071)
• Rtk argv rewrite drops quoting so spaced patterns and paths silently split. (7b43e6d)
• Dialect guard misreads egrep as a basic-regex search. (83f4f55)

• Rewrite that splits an argument on a non-space character survives both guards. (f31c9bf)

Lifecycle Launch

• Rapid-death restart guard cannot tell a clean short run from a crash. (0cfa976)
