v3.10.4

Fixed — lean-ctx update --help no longer installs an update

• lean-ctx update --help (and -h, and the same flags on enable-gpu)
  now print the command's options. Before, the flag was ignored and the
  command downloaded and installed the latest release.
• An unknown option, for example a typo like --chek, is refused with exit
  code 2 instead of running an update. --force and --rewire are still
  accepted, and still have no effect, because older instructions mention them.

Fixed — the value status line now reaches existing Claude Code installs

• 3.10.3 added lean-ctx's status line (◆ lean-ctx −13.1K tok) to Claude
  Code, but it was only written by lean-ctx init --agent claude. Installs
  that were updated, or set up with lean-ctx setup, never got it. The hook
  refresh that runs on update and when the MCP server starts now sets it too.
  A status line of your own is never replaced. To switch the status line off,
  set [value_display] mode = "off".
• A "statusLine": null entry in Claude's settings.json is now replaced.
  Before, lean-ctx reported the status line as set but wrote nothing.
• Turn recaps now appear in a normal session: every 5 turns when the window
  saved at least 10K tokens (was every 10 turns and 50K, which most sessions
  never reached). A security event still always gets a recap. Existing
  recap_every_turns / recap_min_tokens settings are kept.

Fixed — OpenCode, Windows paths and allowlist noise

• OpenCode: shadow mode now sets read, grep, glob and bash to "ask"
  instead of "deny" in opencode.json (#1864). OpenCode removes a denied
  tool from the request, and the OpenCode Zen free tier refuses requests
  without bash and read with a 403. lean-ctx setup rewrites the
  "deny" entries older releases wrote; uninstall removes both values.
• The rewritten lean-ctx read/grep/ls commands now quote the lean-ctx
  path. Before, a binary under a path with a space, such as
  C:\Program Files\..., was split by the shell and the command failed with
  exit 127 (#1865).
• Warn-only allowlist findings (command substitution, pipe into an
  interpreter) are logged at info instead of warn, so they no longer show
  up on stderr of every command. Log output carries ANSI colour codes only
  when stderr is a terminal (#1866).
• git --version | head -1; python --version is no longer reported as a pipe
  into a bare interpreter. Only the command that actually receives the pipe is
  checked (#1867).

Fixed — ctx_shell can no longer suspend the agent in your terminal

• A command run through ctx_shell now starts in its own session without a
  controlling terminal. Before, an interactive shell somewhere below it (a
  test suite that runs zsh -i or bash -i, for example) took over the
  terminal, and the terminal stopped Claude Code: zsh printed
  suspended (tty input) claude and the terminal was left in mouse mode.
  Commands that need a terminal now fail right away instead of freezing
  the agent.
• lean-ctx's own prompt-integration tests no longer take over the terminal
  when cargo test runs in one.

Upgrade

lean-ctx update                 # recommended (auto-downloads + refreshes shell hooks)
cargo install lean-ctx          # or
npm update -g lean-ctx-bin      # or
brew upgrade lean-ctx

Note: After upgrading via cargo/npm/brew, run lean-ctx setup to refresh shell aliases. lean-ctx update does this automatically.
