The user-origin marker on replaced mcp.json entries is now sticky:
re-records and cross-bundle transfers only upgrade replaced to
transferred when the prior record proves bundle origin, so updating a
bundle can no longer make uninstall delete a key the user had before the
bundle replaced it. Canonical source URLs lowercase only the host, since
self-hosted forges treat repository paths as case-sensitive and
collapsing distinct repos misdirects updates and uninstalls. git clone
invocations pass '--' before the URL so a crafted source cannot be
parsed as a git flag. Lifecycle flags (--install, --install-builtins,
--update-bundle, --uninstall) and their companions now conflict
explicitly instead of first-match dispatch silently dropping actions.
--install-from returns as a hidden tombstone that errors with the
replacement instead of feeding the flag to the LLM as prompt text.
--list-bundles dispatches before config load so a pure read no longer
boots MCP servers. write_file_atomic fsyncs before the rename so a crash
cannot persist a truncated store. REPL: .uninstall accepts --yes,
.install rejects trailing tokens after a category, and .install remote
gets a migration hint. Plus polish: host validation rejects '#' and '?',
renamed_to no longer serializes null, derived names get a debug assert
against the validator, completions share DEFAULT_GIT_HOST, README
mentions skills.
--install someuser/repo expands to https://github.com/someuser/repo;
--git-host overrides the default host and forces source interpretation
even when the value matches an installed bundle name. Two or more path
segments are accepted so nested GitLab-style groups work, and #ref
pinning applies to shorthand values. --uninstall resolves owner/repo
against recorded sources: a single match uninstalls, multiple matches
prompt an interactive selection showing each bundle's source, and
non-interactive runs bail instead of guessing.
--install <git-url|name> is the single entry point for remote installs
and updates; the unified .install dispatch likewise replaces
.install remote. Flag completion for .install now applies to the
unified form.
--install now takes a git URL or an installed bundle name: categories
are redirected to the new --install-builtins, installed names become
implicit updates, and source-shaped values install remotely. The old
--install-from keeps its exact behavior as a hidden deprecated alias.
The REPL's .install gains the same unified dispatch while keeping
.install <category> and .install remote <url> back-compat.
Updates re-clone a bundle's recorded source (honoring a recorded commit
pin unless a #<ref> override moves it), silently refresh files the bundle
owns that the user never modified, and fall back to the normal conflict
prompts for modified or unowned files. Files the remote no longer ships
are offered for deletion (kept by default non-interactively, staying
owned). The record is refreshed with the new commit, version, and
metadata, and stamped with an updated_at timestamp on success.
Mirrors --no-workspace-mcp exactly: a CLI-only flag backed by an
AppConfig field (default false) that disables .coyote/macros in both
the resolved macro policy and Macro::load's workspace-then-global
preference, so the two always agree (custom-commands design §5).
