  • State the real config path on each platform retch reads dirs::config_dir(): XDG on Linux, Application Support on macOS, APPDATA on Windows. The wiki said ~/.config/retch everywhere. Assisted-By: Claude Opus 5.5

  • Correct outdated wiki claims and trim history Windows lacks keyboard/mouse/brightness/power-adapter/login-manager/tpm; Windows phys-mem, phys-disk, memory and DNS are native, not PowerShell; How-It-Works mode lists match src/fields.rs; runtimes are measured, not old budgets; missing modules added; COPR and benchmark workflow text matches the current triggers. Dropped Troubleshooting sections for bugs fixed before v0.12 and the misleading AUR-registration banners. Development-Setup keeps its rules and drops the incident narratives (NOTES.md section 7 has them). Assisted-By: Claude Opus 5.5

  • Update docs for v0.19.0 matched benchmarks cpu-usage moves to --long; the fastfetch comparison is now field for field, and the older "retch is faster" tables are marked as the old, unmatched methodology. Assisted-By: Claude Opus 5.5

  • Install without mandown (template v6, retch 0.17.18) Assisted-By: Claude Opus 5

  • Lead source installs with just; document merge-pr's WIP block

  • Packaging is rendered at publish time; a release needs no bump The AUR PKGBUILD, the COPR spec and the Homebrew formula are now templates carrying @VERSION@/@SHA256@, rendered by scripts/render_packaging.py at publish time. Updates the recipe table, the AUR and COPR sections, the guard descriptions and the release sequence, and replaces the 'cd packaging/aur && makepkg -si' local-install instruction with 'just aur-local' -- makepkg refuses a templated pkgver.

  • Document the Homebrew trust gate and what the brew job does not prove Homebrew 6.0+ refuses to load third-party tap formulae until trusted, and reports the refusal as invalid syntax. The CI job's local tap bypasses that gate, so it cannot catch it.

    @l1a l1a committed Sep 11, 2026
  • Document the Homebrew tap, formula and drift guard Adds the macOS install path and the brew-* recipes, plus a section on the three packaging guards and why all of them treat trailing Cargo.toml as normal.

  • docs: restructure wiki to match etr's page structure/tone Adds Getting-Started.md, How-It-Works.md, Troubleshooting.md, and Compared-to-fastfetch-and-neofetch.md (new pages, sourced from README.md/NOTES.md — no invented facts). Restyles Home.md and Configuration-and-Theming.md to match etr's wiki structure and tone (vibe-coded disclosure, wiki-pages nav table, table-driven config reference). Cryptography.md has no retch equivalent (no crypto model) and is intentionally not mirrored. Assisted-By: Claude Sonnet 5
