Elmo v0.2.10 removes the telemetry subcommand, ~/.elmo/config.json file, and CLI aliases (start, stop, logs, build); configuration moves entirely to .env. New elmo edit command and improved elmo init with DEPLOYMENT_ID persistence ease migration.

Why it matters: Migrate configuration to .env and update CLI usage: replace elmo start/stop/logs/build with elmo compose. Improved elmo init defaults (1515 port, DEPLOYMENT_ID preservation) and new elmo edit command ease the transition.

Summary

AI summary

What's Changed

Default the CLI config directory to ~/.elmo. by @jrhizor
Prompt for the web app port in elmo init (defaults to 1515). by @jrhizor
Recommended elmo init setup no longer adds direct-API query targets — only scraping tracks ChatGPT and Google AI Mode. by @jrhizor
Add elmo edit, drop elmo telemetry and the ~/.elmo/config.json file. elmo edit env|compose opens the file in $VISUAL / $EDITOR (fallback nano) — toggle DISABLE_TELEMETRY there instead of via the removed elmo telemetry subcommand. Telemetry state and the deployment ID now live entirely in .env; elmo init stamps the CLI version and timestamp into the .env and elmo.yaml headers, and re-running it preserves the existing DEPLOYMENT_ID. by @jrhizor
Remove elmo start, elmo stop, elmo logs, and elmo build aliases — use elmo compose <args> directly (e.g. elmo compose up -d, elmo compose down, elmo compose logs -f, elmo compose build). by @jrhizor
Fix the dashboard briefly showing "No Data Yet" with "none are currently enabled" right after the onboarding wizard finishes in local mode. by @jrhizor
Bulk-select prompts in the editor (settings and onboarding) to enable or disable many at once. by @jrhizor
Log start/done (with duration and result counts) for analyzeBrand, so the onboarding analyze step is visible in the web server logs. by @jrhizor

Breaking Changes

Removed `elmo telemetry` subcommand; toggle `DISABLE_TELEMETRY` via `.env` instead.
Dropped CLI aliases: `elmo start`, `elmo stop`, `elmo logs`, and `elmo build`; use `elmo compose <cmd>` directly.
Removed the `~/.elmo/config.json` file; all telemetry‑related settings now reside in `.env`.
