Releases v1.3.3. auto-release.yml reads the top CHANGELOG.md heading, so
merging this tags v1.3.3 and publishes the build.

Merge with Squash. main forbids merge commits and this branch carries
master's history. A merge commit is rejected by branch protection (GH006).

1.3.2 fixed which kernel a command acts on. This fixes how commands talk to
the shell around them, and adds a full uninstall. It also carries the two commits
that missed the 1.3.2 branch point.

Added

hkm uninstall — removes every install on the machine (both kernels, both
pairs of launchers, the pre-1.4 user kernel, ~/.config/hkm, the plugin store)
and deregisters the .deb from dpkg, while keeping your projects and the
project registry
. Both are protected by construction, not by a filter: every
deletable path is computed from the install layout, so a project directory
cannot enter the plan; and projects.json + platform.json are rescued into the
userdata directory before anything is deleted, so the registry survives even
when its only copy was inside the tree being removed.

Fixed

  • Output went to stderr, so nothing could be piped. hkm list > file
    produced an empty file, and results were indistinguishable from errors.
    Results now go to stdout; err/warn and prompts stay on stderr. This was
    found once before and fixed one function wide (banner.printShort) — the
    cause was in the shared renderer.
  • ANSI was unconditional and NO_COLOR ignored, so escapes landed in log
    files and CI transcripts. Colour is now per-stream, using the rule
    tools/install.sh already applied.
  • Tables truncated to 80 columns when redirectedtermCols() falls back
    to 80 exactly in the non-TTY case, cutting the end off every long path.
  • A mistyped command printed error: FileNotFound and nothing else. The
    three causes (no PHP, no kernel CLI, unknown command) are now distinguished.
  • Unknown flags were silently ignored, which inverted a destructive command.
    hkm uninstall --dryrun --yes parsed as "no dry run, don't ask" and deleted
    the install. uninstall and upgrade now reject unrecognised flags.
  • projects.json / plugins.lock.json were written non-atomically, so a
    kill mid-write left a truncated registry. Both now write a temp file and
    rename() — the pattern install.sh already used.
  • A failed .deb install could report successapt-get -f install exits
    0 when there is nothing to repair, so a corrupt package read as "updated".

Verification

  • Zig: 142/142 tests pass (up from 127; prompt.zig had none before, and its
    new tests caught a truncated-escape edge case during development).
  • Every fix reproduced against the shipped --release=small binary, before and
    after: hkm list > file now writes 155 bytes (was 0); 0 ANSI escapes when
    piped, 6 on a TTY, 0 with NO_COLOR=1; full paths when redirected.
  • hkm uninstall exercised against a synthetic home — verified the registry is
    rescued from the kernel tree, the project directory is untouched, and a
    mistyped --dry-run is now refused.

Not included

The modules/php-io-cli bump (53620ec04147c7) stays out: it breaks 4
tests in UnknownOptionTest (AbstractCommand.php:175) and would fail the
PHPUnit gate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added hkm uninstall with dry-run mode, confirmation bypass, privilege-aware removal, and protection for project data and registry files.
    • Added clearer guidance for complete versus installation-prefix-only removal.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved output routing, color handling, terminal-width formatting, and Unicode prompt alignment.
    • Improved command error messages, unknown-option handling, and package installation verification.
    • Unified PATH detection across diagnostic and version commands.
  • Reliability

    • Registry and plugin data updates now use safer atomic writes.

Remove .claude/, CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md and docs/ from
version control (kept locally, gitignored) so they are not published to GitHub.
chore: remove AI-assistant config and internal docs from the repo
Previously the ASCII banner only appeared on 'hkm version'. It now headers
the default help output too.
feat(cli): show Sentinel banner on bare hkm and hkm help
hkm upgrade now detects the OS, downloads the matching release artifact,
and installs it (Linux apt / macOS install.sh / Windows install.bat),
instead of only printing manual instructions.
feat(upgrade): auto-download and install updates per OS
…g.env

- run/registry now resolve the kernel relative to the launcher (installed
  /opt/hkm-kernel or dev repo), fixing 'Kernel registry not found' on
  packaged installs and stopping use of a dev kernel found via PWD.
- hkm-config checks the kernel + writes/repairs HKM_KERNEL_HOME.
- launcher loads ~/.config/hkm/config.env at startup (real env wins).

No version change.
fix(cli): self-locate installed kernel + real hkm-config
Scaffolding templates moved tools/src/templates -> top-level templates/.
tools/ is not bundled, so hkm new / hkm ui init could not find templates on
a packaged install. bundle.sh now ships templates/ (exempt from the docs/
tools strip); services resolves <kernel>/templates via self-location.

No version change.
fix(templates): ship templates in the kernel (move out of tools/)
Kernel self-location, real hkm-config, config.env loading, and templates
shipped inside the kernel.
…help note

- projects/projects.json is committed empty ({}) so developer-local
  registrations (and machine paths) never ship in the repo or bundles.
- .githooks/pre-commit forces projects.json to {} in every commit; enable
  with: git config core.hooksPath .githooks
- hkm help notes the env vars are auto-detected (override only if needed).
…help

chore: empty committed project registry + help note
projects.json + platform.json are user data. HKM_USERDATA_DIR relocates them
outside the kernel install (honoured by the hkm CLI registry and the PHP
DomainResolver), and the .deb marks them as conffiles so an in-place upgrade
preserves the user's registrations. Falls back to <kernel>/projects when unset.
feat(userdata): HKM_USERDATA_DIR so updates don't clobber the registry
…ata)

hkm-config now resolves/pins HKM_KERNEL_HOME AND provisions the persistent
userdata dir: creates XDG_DATA_HOME/hkm (or ~/.local/share/hkm), migrates any
existing registry into it, and pins HKM_USERDATA_DIR. One command configures
everything the launcher and runtime need.
feat(config): hkm-config provisions the full environment
- .env (holds generated APP_KEY) written chmod 600; config.env too
- debug output force-disabled when APP_ENV=production regardless of APP_DEBUG
- new projects ship app/public/.htaccess (deny dotfiles, no listing, drop
  X-Powered-By, baseline security headers, front-controller rewrite)
- env.example documents the production/secret-handling expectations
Security hardening (scaffolding perms, prod debug gate, Apache+nginx web
config), HKM_USERDATA_DIR for persistent registry across updates, and
hkm-config full-environment setup.
New projects scaffold app/apache.conf.example (DocumentRoot=app/public,
deny dotfiles, only index.php executable, security headers).
Adds the Apache virtual-host sample to project scaffolding (alongside nginx).
- README now documents native install (.deb/.tar.gz/.zip), the hkm command set,
  HKM_* env vars, requirements, dev/build flow, and security defaults.
- Remove links to the removed docs/ai-context files from the Auth plugin README.
docs: refresh README + fix broken links
Route policy — the third route verb (add/override/DISABLE):
- Kernel::withRoutePolicy() + proj.json "routePolicy": {"disable": []} let a
  project veto plugin routes without forking the plugin. Specs are either
  "METHOD /path" (one route) or a module domain (all of a plugin's routes).
- CompileRouteManifestStage applies the policy to plugin routes AFTER they
  compile and BEFORE project routes, so a disabled key can be re-declared by
  the project. An unmatched spec fails the boot (anti-typo guard).
- EntryHelpers::projectRoutePolicy() reads the proj.json block.

hkm dev environment for contributors:
- `hkm <command> --dev` pins one invocation to the development kernel
  (HKM_DEV_HOME from config.env, or walk-up self-location from a repo-built
  launcher). Exports HKM_KERNEL_HOME + HKM_CLI_PATH for the child only;
  fails loudly when no dev kernel is found.
- hkm-config set-dev-home <path> (validated) + help/README documentation.

Templates: scaffolded proj.json ships the routePolicy stub, bootstrap wires
withRoutePolicy(), project README documents the three route verbs.
Project routePolicy.disable (veto plugin routes without forking) and the
hkm --dev contributor environment (stable install + dev checkout side by side).

655829006 merges two parallel implementations of unknown-option handling into
src/AbstractCommand.php and keeps BOTH: `private array $unknownOptions` is
declared twice (lines 50 and 78), with two incompatible row shapes
(`spelling`/`key` populated at 482 and resolved by resolveUnknownOptions(),
`token`/`name` populated at 158/520 and rejected by rejectUnknownOptions()).

A duplicated property is a fatal at CLASS LOAD, so this is not one failing test
— at that pointer every command built on AbstractCommand dies with
"Cannot redeclare AlfacodeTeam\PhpIoCli\AbstractCommand::$unknownOptions".
The kernel suite surfaces it as UnknownOptionTest ending the PHP process.

Pinned back to 53620ec, the last commit where the class loads: 312 tests, 585
assertions green. Which of the two implementations is canonical is php-io-cli's
call, so this reverts the POINTER only and changes nothing in that repo.
A machine can hold both a system (.deb) and a user (tarball) install. The CLI
did not model that: a shared config.env HKM_KERNEL_HOME pin let either install
redirect the other's kernel, and hkm upgrade could only ever update the system
scope. Both made installing or upgrading appear to do nothing.

Release 1.3.2.
1.3.2 fixed WHICH kernel a command acts on. This fixes HOW commands talk to
the shell around them, and adds a full uninstall.

Every command rendered through std.debug.print, which writes to stderr — so
`hkm list > file` produced an empty file and results were indistinguishable
from errors. Results now go to stdout; errors, warnings and prompts stay on
stderr. Colour and table width follow the destination: no ANSI when the stream
is not a terminal or NO_COLOR is set, and no truncation when redirected.

A spawn failure in the PHP passthrough propagated out of main as a bare
"error: FileNotFound". The three causes are now told apart and each names its
own fix.

Unknown flags were silently ignored, which inverted a destructive command:
`hkm uninstall --dryrun --yes` parsed as "no dry run, don't ask" and deleted
the install. uninstall and upgrade now reject what they do not recognise.

projects.json and plugins.lock.json were written non-atomically, so a kill
mid-write left a truncated registry. Both now write a temp file and rename.

hkm uninstall removes every install, config and cache while keeping projects
and the registry — rescuing projects.json out of a kernel tree before deleting
it, so it survives even when that was the only copy.

Release 1.3.3.

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 01f1b

The release changes destructive uninstall and command parsing behavior, but the current head can still lose the preserved project registry, delete protected userdata in supported layouts, and bypass upgrade confirmation with --; an included dependency revision also breaks unknown-option handling. Merge should be blocked until the critical data-loss and destructive-option issues are fixed.

main is the SQUASH of #110, so it is a new commit that master's history does
not contain, and git reports the branches as diverged. Their trees are not:
origin/main and master@299a271 are the same tree (9abe29c), and master has
only moved forward since. -s ours therefore records the merge without touching
a single file — the content already includes everything main has.

The merge commit itself disappears when this PR is squash-merged, which is what
branch protection on main requires.
upload-artifact v5->v7, download-artifact v5->v8, codeql-action/upload-sarif
v3->v4 and action-gh-release v2->v3 all declared node20, which the runners were
already forcing onto Node 24. checkout@v5 and setup-php@v2 are node24 already
and are unchanged.

upload/download stay compatible: v4 is the artifact backend boundary and both
are well past it.

Adds .github/dependabot.yml watching the github-actions ecosystem weekly, in one
grouped PR. A pinned major does not rot loudly — it rots silently until the
forced runtime is withdrawn and every workflow fails at once.

Inline comments:
In `@modules/php-io-cli`:
- Line 1: Align the long unknown-option record fields produced before merging
with the token/name fields consumed by rejectUnknownOptions() and
suggestOption(), or restore the prior consistent implementation. Ensure
unknown-option handling passes the actual option token and name rather than
null, then rerun the PHPUnit tests.

In `@tools/src/commands/uninstall.zig`:
- Around line 176-182: Update rescueRegistry to return and propagate errors from
directory creation, source reads, and destination writes; ignore only a missing
source registry. Replace non-atomic writes with util.writeFileAtomic, and update
the uninstall caller to handle rescueRegistry failure by aborting before package
removal or target deletion.
- Around line 68-70: Update the uninstall error-handling paths around the
unknown-option diagnostic and the additionally referenced failure block to
render follow-up remediation messages through stderr instead of stdout. Replace
the relevant prompt.muted and prompt.item calls while preserving their existing
text and return behavior.
- Around line 88-122: The uninstall plan must reject or relocate
HKM_USERDATA_DIR when it equals or is nested within any deletion target,
especially the system and user kernel roots built by addTarget. Validate
keep_dir against every target before confirmation, and add coverage for custom
HKM_USERDATA_DIR values inside both system and user kernel roots.

In `@tools/src/commands/upgrade.zig`:
- Around line 147-151: Update the option-parsing loop in the upgrade command,
alongside util.unknownFlag, so arguments after the -- delimiter are never
interpreted as flags. Since this command accepts no positional arguments, reject
any trailing arguments after --, while preserving normal parsing and validation
before the delimiter.

In `@tools/src/config.zig`:
- Around line 46-50: Update the raw configuration output in the hkm-config print
flow after prompt.init to write through std.Io.File.stdout() instead of
std.debug.print, so redirected output includes the config contents while
diagnostics remain on stderr.

In `@tools/src/lib/plugin_lock.zig`:
- Around line 187-189: Update util.writeFileAtomic and its callers at
tools/src/lib/plugin_lock.zig:187-189 and tools/src/lib/registry.zig:132-134 so
temporary-path creation failures return the formatting error instead of writing
directly to the target; when the temporary write fails, remove the temporary
file before propagating the error. Preserve atomic replacement for both
plugins.lock.json and projects.json.

In `@tools/src/lib/prompt.zig`:
- Around line 101-118: Update the oversized-format fallback in the function
containing the rendered and colored output handling so it writes the formatted
result to the already selected stdout or stderr stream, preserving ANSI
stripping when output is uncolored. Replace the std.debug.print fallback with a
streaming formatter or dynamically allocated buffer, while retaining the
existing normal-path behavior and error handling.

In `@tools/src/lib/util.zig`:
- Around line 71-75: Update the directory handling in findOnPath and countOnPath
so empty PATH entries use "." as the directory instead of being skipped.
Preserve the existing path-joining and file-checking/counting behavior for both
empty and non-empty entries.
- Around line 142-153: Update writeFileAtomic to create a unique sibling
temporary file using exclusive creation before writing, rather than deriving the
fixed “.hkm-tmp” path; ensure concurrent writers cannot share or rename each
other’s staging file. Remove the direct-write fallback when the temporary path
cannot be formed, and return the error without modifying the target; retain
cleanup on write or rename failure.

In `@tools/src/main.zig`:
- Around line 409-425: Before the std.process.spawn call in the passthrough
flow, validate cli with util.fileExists(io, cli). When it is missing, invoke the
existing missing-kernel-CLI diagnostic path, such as reportPassthroughFailure or
the appropriate helper, and return without spawning PHP; preserve the current
spawn-failure handling for failures after this check.

ec3ecef bumped php-io-cli to 04147c7, which made every unknown LONG option a
TypeError: the long-option branch recorded a different array shape than the
other two, and rejectUnknownOptions() reads the key it omitted. The kernel's
own UnknownOptionTest caught it as 4 errors, and it failed the release gate.

Fixed upstream (php-io-cli b1dd657) rather than pinned back, so the
unknown-option handling that bump was for stays in. 312 tests, 585 assertions.

Two were critical, both in hkm uninstall, both defeating the guarantee it
advertises:

  * HKM_USERDATA_DIR can point INSIDE a deletion target (/opt/hkm-kernel/
    projects being the obvious case). The plan listed it under "Will KEEP" and
    deleted its parent moments later. It now refuses that layout before the
    confirmation and names both paths.
  * rescueRegistry swallowed directory-creation, read and write failures, so a
    failed rescue was followed by the delete anyway while the command reported
    success. It now propagates everything except an absent source, writes
    atomically, and the caller aborts before removing anything.

The rest close gaps in the output work from the previous commit: hkm-config
print still wrote to stderr; >8 KiB lines fell back to std.debug.print and
changed stream; remediation text after an error went to stdout; writeFileAtomic
used a colliding temp name; findOnPath skipped empty PATH entries (POSIX: the
current directory); the passthrough blamed PHP for a missing kernel CLI; and
"--" ended validation but not parsing.

143 tests. Both critical paths verified against a real filesystem: the
containment guard refuses and keeps the registry, and a read-only registry dir
aborts with the kernel intact.
