1.2.0 — Smart auto-update, hook nudge, security baseline
The headline change is the smart /agentic-z-update. Pulls from upstream now respect your customizations instead of clobbering them.
What's new
Smart /agentic-z-update (three-way merge)
The legacy auto-update did git checkout upstream/main -- <path> which silently overwrote anything you had edited locally. 1.2.0 replaces it with a per-file three-way merge (baseline, local, upstream) that classifies every change and only applies the safe ones automatically. Conflicts default to leave-alone with --per-file for an interactive picker.
New flags: --check, --quiet, --yes, --per-file. Persistent baseline at .claude/.upstream-baseline. PID-based concurrency lock at .claude/.upstream-update.lock.
SessionStart hook for upstream-ahead nudges
A new SessionStart hook in .claude/settings.json runs update.py --check --quiet every time you open Claude Code. Silent on no-change, single-line nudge on drift, fail-open on network errors. Completes in under five seconds even on large repos.
The same hook also surfaces newer prebuilt search-index releases on GitHub. Read-only, never auto-downloads (the index tarball is ~200MB).
Voyage AI free-tier projection check
/dayz-search-index and /dayz-search-wiki-index estimate the build's tokens before the embed phase and warn if cumulative monthly usage would exceed 80% of the 200M-token Voyage free tier. Tracks usage in ~/.claude/dayz-search-index/usage.log. New --ignore-tier-warning flag for CI.
Security baseline for shipped agents
All twelve agent definitions tightened: explicit tools: allowlists, maxTurns caps, valid colors, stripped commentary blocks. Reviewer and debugger agents now run with permissionMode: acceptEdits. The shipped .claude/settings.json keeps a narrow Bash allowlist plus an explicit deny list (python -c, python -m, node -e, npm install, npx).
Skill renames for clarity
| Old | New |
|---|---|
dayz-mount-p | dayz-workdrive |
dayz-rag-index | dayz-search-index |
dayz-rag-wiki-index | dayz-search-wiki-index |
dayz-rag-download | dayz-search-download |
dayz-types-edit | dayz-edit-types |
dayz-types-split | dayz-split-types |
dayz-p3d-debinarizer | dayz-p3d-debin |
dayz-scope-clear (skill) | /dayz-scope-mod --clear (flag) |
The on-disk index path also moved from ~/.claude/dayz-rag-index/ to ~/.claude/dayz-search-index/. First-time users are unaffected. See "Upgrading from a pre-1.2.0 clone" below.
Plugin marketplace
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json makes the repo installable via /plugin install agentic-z@dayz-n-chill.
Markdown lint hygiene
Repo-wide markdown lint dropped from 40,349 errors to 0. .markdownlint.json was loosened for conversational prose; .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc and .markdownlintignore scope linting to canonical sources only (115 files, not 2,074).
Upgrading from a pre-1.2.0 clone
If you're on a clone older than this release, your local update.py has a Unicode bug that crashes Windows cp1252 consoles when it tries to print the changelog box characters. To get past it once, run the upgrade with PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8:
set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 && python .claude\skills\agentic-z-update\update.py
Once the upgrade completes, the new update.py no longer prints those characters and future runs are clean. The shipped scripts/agentic-z-update.bat wrapper sets the env var automatically.
After the upgrade, you may see leftover folders from renamed skills in your working tree (the old git checkout-based merge didn't delete files removed upstream). Run python .claude\skills\agentic-z-update\update.py --check --per-file to walk through them and pick "take" to clean each one up.
Breaking changes
- Skill names listed in the rename table above. References to old names (in your own scripts, hooks, agent prompts) need updating.
- On-disk RAG index path moved. If you migrated manually, no action. If you didn't, run
/dayz-search-downloadto re-fetch or/dayz-search-indexto rebuild.
What's next
- Real-world feedback from people running 1.2.0 in anger.
- Revisit the deleted-locally-files-reappear-on-update behavior (currently a deliberate spec choice, also a UX wart).
- Wider wiki crawl scope so the wiki index covers gameplay-mechanic pages, not just CE/admin docs.
If you customize an agent or build a new skill, send it back upstream — every contribution sharpens the toolkit for the next person who clones.
