The CLI no longer downloads runtime bundles from GitHub on first run. Instead:
- A new resolveRuntime() in apps/cli/src/runtime.ts resolves the bundle in
three steps: KANDEV_BUNDLE_DIR env var (Homebrew wrapper, tests) → installed
@kdlbs/runtime-{platform} npm package → cached download (only when
--runtime-version is given explicitly).
- apps/cli/src/run.ts is split: launch logic separated from download logic.
The download path stays for the explicit --runtime-version flag only.
- The --version flag now prints CLI semver (was: runtime tag selector). The
old behavior moves to --runtime-version, documented as advanced/debug.
- The npm self-update prompt (apps/cli/src/update.ts) is removed entirely.
- apps/cli/package.json declares optionalDependencies for five
@kdlbs/runtime-{platform} packages and engines.npm: ">=7" (required for
optional-dep resolution during npx).
- Adds esbuild + a "bundle" script that produces dist/cli.bundle.js — a
single-file CJS bundle with all Node deps inlined. The Homebrew formula
uses this; the npm package keeps the unbundled dist/cli.js.
Tests: 130/130 passing. Bundle smoke-tested in a directory with no
node_modules to confirm tree-kill is correctly inlined.
Kandev
Manage tasks. Orchestrate agents. Review changes. Ship value.
Quick Start
npx kandev
Downloads the latest release, starts the backend + web app, and opens your browser. Data (worktrees, SQLite DB) is stored in ~/.kandev by default.
Version and Updates
npx kandev(run mode) uses the latest GitHub release bundle by default.- At startup, the launcher prints the resolved release tag (for example:
[kandev] release: v0.2.3 (github latest)). - Use
--version <tag>to pin a specific runtime bundle release. - CLI package updates are checked from npm and shown as a prompt. They are not forced.
