v3.30.0 — spinner verbs (default ON) + startup announcements + rev-share scaffold

Highlights — ADR-317, ADR-318, ADR-319

Three new placement surfaces for ruflo, sibling to the existing statusline promo row:

1. Spinner verbs (ruflo spinner …) — DEFAULT ON

Ruflo appends its own curated "present-participle" verbs to Claude Code's spinnerVerbs.verbs[] in ~/.claude/settings.json, so the ✽ Channeling… rotation mixes ruflo verbs with Claude Code's built-ins. 37 verbs across memory, optimization, learning, security, agents, workflow + Cognitum-tagged categories. Default posture: ON for new installs and upgrades (opt-out via RUFLO_NO_AUTO_ENABLE=1 or ruflo spinner disable).

Sample additions: Consulting the memory graph, Warming the HNSW index, Auditing for CVEs, Consulting Cognitum.

2. Startup announcements (ruflo announcements …) — OPT-IN

Similar mechanism for Claude Code's companyAnnouncements — 12 curated entries shown at Claude Code startup, one per session. Higher intrusion profile than spinner (prominent line vs. per-spin flash), so opt-in via RUFLO_AUTO_ENABLE_ANNOUNCEMENTS=1 or ruflo announcements enable --yes.

3. Developer revenue-share (ruflo funnel enroll/earnings/unenroll) — Phase 0 scaffold

Client-side skeleton for the 50/50 Cognitum-sponsor rev-share. Response to "can we do something similar to kickbacks.ai?" — yes, and 60-70% of the plumbing (attribution, consent, rotation) already existed. This ships the CLI subcommands + consent domain + attribution token wiring. Backend enrollment + Stripe Connect are Phase 1 (blocks on legal).

First-run auto-enable mechanism (session-restore hook)

Fires once per install (marker at ~/.ruflo/first-run-enabled.json), then never again. Multiple env-var escape hatches: RUFLO_NO_AUTO_ENABLE, RUFLO_NO_AUTO_ENABLE_SPINNER, RUFLO_AUTO_ENABLE_ANNOUNCEMENTS. Skips in CI + non-TTY. Detached spawn — session-restore latency unchanged. One-line stderr notification names exactly what got enabled and how to disable.

Fixes bundled

• Concurrent-session helper clobber (documented in CLAUDE.md): new .claude/helpers/.LOCKED marker + RUFLO_HELPERS_LOCKED=1 env opt-out. Users editing helpers directly can now protect their dev tree from being overwritten by sibling Claude Code sessions running stale cached @claude-flow/cli.
• Statusline URL suffix correctly emits again (bug where concurrent-session corruption had wiped it earlier).

Upgrade notes

Every existing user upgrading past v3.29.x will see spinner verbs added to their ~/.claude/settings.json on their next Claude Code session (with backup + notification + one-command undo). Set RUFLO_NO_AUTO_ENABLE=1 before upgrading if you don't want this.
