Summary

AI summary

Removed many MCP tools and when CLI commands reducing the API surface.

Full changelog

Minor Changes

  • 290c3d8: Trim the MCP surface and wrapper CLI back to what the tagline promised.

    • MCP tools: 48 → 7. One endpoint per tool plus velocity's timing pair: aware_sync, berth_check, envalid_validate, stale_scan, vow_scan, velocity_start_task, velocity_end_task. Agents drive scanning; fix/init/auxiliary operations move to each tool's CLI (npx @whenlabs/<tool> --help).
    • when CLI: 13 → 4. Kept: init, doctor, install, uninstall. Removed: status, ci, watch, config, upgrade, eject, diff, dashboard, mcp, plus the delegate shims and the .whenlabs.yml unified-config plumbing. Each tool reads its own config again.
    • Install targets: Claude Code only. Removed --cursor/--vscode/--windsurf/--all flags and the status-line Python script — install now writes exactly two files (~/.claude.json and ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md).
    • Cross-tool SUGGESTION_RULES removed. Agents decide when to chain tools.
    • GitHub Action (packages/when/action.yml) removed — the Action depended on when ci. CI users can invoke each tool's CLI directly in their workflows.

    Nothing on npm has shipped yet, so there is no consumer breakage. The underlying per-tool packages are unchanged; only the @whenlabs/when umbrella surface is reduced.

Breaking Changes

  • Removed `status`, `ci`, `watch`, `config`, `upgrade`, `eject`, `diff`, `dashboard`, `mcp` and delegate shims from the `when` CLI.
  • Reduced MCP tool surface from 48 endpoints to 7 (`aware_sync`, `berth_check`, `envalid_validate`, `stale_scan`, `vow_scan`, `velocity_start_task`, `velocity_end_task`).
  • Removed install flags `--cursor`, `--vscode`, `--windsurf`, `--all` from the `install` command.
  • Eliminated cross‑tool `SUGGESTION_RULES`; agents now decide chaining.
  • Dropped GitHub Action (`packages/when/action.yml`) that depended on `when ci`.
