Release Notes

v0.2.2

Output refinement and Git detection update for me, a modern, context-aware replacement for whoami.

Block output de-duplicated: shell field removed from body rows; already shown in header line (user@host shell).
Compact output redesigned for prompt usage: new 3-part format user@host · env · project with deterministic env priority (ssh > docker > local), root shown as root@host, no separate privilege segment.
Project and Git context coexist: block and compact show both project kind and git branch when both are detected (e.g. rust 1.94.0 · git(main)).
Shortened project version rendering: toolchain output trimmed to semver only (e.g. rust 1.94.1 instead of rustc 1.94.1 (e408947bf 2026-03-25) (Homebrew)).
--fast flag: skips slower context version checks for prompt usage; git detection remains active (file-based, fast).
Git detached head support: resolves tags for detached HEAD state via loose refs and packed-refs; fast mode falls back to short OID.
Git detection boundary: bounded to 8 directory levels, stops at home directory.
Root identity: root@host in both block header and compact output when uid == 0.
Consistent cross-environment output: field order, context position, and structure remain stable across local, SSH, container, and sudo sessions.
Expanded test coverage: 56 tests including golden snapshots, git detection, and CLI behavior.

Default block output no longer includes a shell: body row (still in header).
Compact output format changed from user@host · shell · privilege · env · project to user@host · env · project.

JSON cleanup update for me, a modern, context-aware replacement for whoami.

Human-readable default block output.
Compact output for prompts and quick checks.
JSON output for scripts.
Fast-mode JSON now omits absent project versions instead of emitting "version": null.
Config-style output for simple shell parsing.
Field selectors for common identity, runtime, state, and network fields.
Local context detection for SSH sessions, containers, Rust projects, Node projects, and lightweight Git branch context.
SSH session detection remains meaningful under common sudo execution paths.
Default block output keeps the network summary visible, including in --fast mode.
--fast is available for prompt usage and skips slower context version checks without dropping explicit or default network output.
Watch mode for lightweight refreshes.
Copy mode for local clipboard workflows.
Man page included at man/man1/me.1.
me now creates ~/.config/me/config.yaml on first run when it does not exist.
Invalid config files now emit a warning and fall back to defaults instead of blocking normal use.
Theme settings now participate in the render path rather than being ignored.
