Summary

AI summary

Rootless workflow becomes default and DNS/proxy/packet‑capture controls are clarified on Linux.

Full changelog

childflow v0.3.0

childflow 0.3.0 makes the rootless path the main day-to-day workflow and improves per-command-tree DNS, proxy, and packet capture control on Linux.

Highlights

  • polished the default rootless-internal backend
  • added --doctor for backend readiness checks
  • introduced clearer capture modes: child, egress, wire-egress, and both
  • renamed capture and proxy-auth CLI options for clarity
  • added Docker demo, E2E, and rootless smoke coverage

Notable Changes

  • --doctor replaces the old doctor subcommand style
  • -c, --capture replaces the old -o
  • -C, --capture-point replaces the old output-view naming
  • -U, --proxy-user and -P, --proxy-password are now available
  • capture files now include metadata for capture view, backend, kind, and interface

Notes

  • Linux only
  • --iface and transparent proxy / TPROXY still require --root
  • egress is an egress-oriented synthetic/logical view, while wire-egress is a real host-side capture view

Breaking Changes

  • --doctor replaces the old doctor subcommand style
  • -c, --capture replaces the old -o option
  • -C, --capture-point replaces the old output‑view naming
  • Capture files now include metadata (capture view, backend, kind, interface)
