What's in this release

Budget Circuit Breaker (Critical Fix)

The streaming usage inspector previously only matched type=assistant events from Claude's stream-json output. When the event shape didn't match, the inspector silently did nothing — the subprocess ran to completion with no mid-stream budget check. In production, this caused a $28 spend on a $1.50 budget.

Now fixed:

• Matches usage fields on any event type, not just assistant
• Checks total_cost_usd on every event for authoritative mid-stream cost
• Triggers at 80% of cap to bound single-turn overshoot
• Falls back to a byte-ceiling kill switch when no usage events arrive

Shell Operators in Verify Commands

bun run lint && bun run test was tokenized literally — the && was passed as an argument. Commands with shell operators (&&, ||, ;, |) now route through the platform shell automatically.

Engine Auto-Discovery

If claude, codex, or gemini isn't on PATH, the CLI now searches common install directories (npm global, homebrew, .local/bin, nvm, scoop) before reporting unavailable. When truly missing, prints a copy-pasteable install command.

Verification Diagnostic Hints

Failed attempts now carry specific context into the next attempt's prompt: which tool is missing, which module failed to resolve, how many assertions broke. Replaces the previous generic "Verification did not pass" message.

Other Improvements

• Git operations retry once after 500ms for lock-file contention
• git restore falls back to git checkout on failure
• Invalid --profile warns and defaults to minimal instead of crashing
• Default verifier timeout increased to 120s (from 60s)
